We appear to be interchanging Jackson and Weid on the bench rather than one resting forward.

Perhaps we will see a change

 

We got better as the quarter wore on but low quality fare from both teams thus far

Playing poorly but some woeful umpiring. What really give you headaches is soft frees to them eg Daniher, downfield then blatant mark play on. I know I have red and blue goggles but we get shafted week in week out

Weid looking better in the ruck and around the ground than Dogga 🤣

Funny you say that, I counted at least three times he didn’t even make a contest in the ruck. Either forgot to contend in the forward line or completely mis-timed his jump. He is trying though. It just feels like Dogga isn’t switched on.

Said all week Weid should take most of the ruck

Petracca can’t play in the midfield when he’s not fit. He looks moles off it. He was absolutely spent at the 20 minute mark of that quarter. Something is very clearly wrong with him.

May as well put him forward and roll Koz and Spargs through the guts.

We're showing the run and dash of a Tweed heads prawn trawler 

I don't know how we're going to magically get good from Q2. Unsurprisingly, the same issues remain, but worse, because we don't have maxy to save us with his work around the ground, clutch marks etc. Both our goals have been mayhem/lucky. 

Going to be a long 3 quarters if we don't come out with a better gameplan, and some cleaner skills/forward connection.

 

Lever looks better

Sparrow looks better

however our fwd pressure is still terrible

Thought we blocked their run well in the last ten of that quarter. Was a real good patch by us, with the exception of ‘connection’…need to build on it.

Showed a glimpse in the last few minutes but we are just so sketchy with all facets of the game. 
Why are Brown and Weideman playing so high?

Because we have no marking target coming out of D50

Was a clear touch by the lions player prior to sparrow marking it

What about the Brisbane guy ripping sparrows head off a split second later

I like Jordan, but needs to get better at hitting targets, both by hand and foot. Turning it over too much at the moment.

I think a little composure will go a very long way in this type of game. 


This is a very poor 1 vs 2. You wouldn't believe it if you weren't told the positions on the ladder.

No sign of any attempt to change up our ball movement. So predictable, the opposition set up waiting for it and we have to hope to win every contested ball to move forward. 

Screw the umpires. Run harder, make more options, win more contested ball, make more chances.

Lithotomy?

if we dont lift it will be a lobotomy.....

Brisbane had 7 shots from 10 entries. We had 5 from 13.

We badly need to tighten up defensively if we're not going to quickly turn things around offensively.

To be fair we haven’t looked like a top 2 side for a month or more.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
