We can play much better, whether Geelong can is another question

    Back to basics

    We got away with breaking through tackles against brissy but it's not the go tonight 

    Will the umps keep it consistent and pay the tackles the other way?

    Gee our backline has the wobbles at the moment.


    They’re smashing us on rebound. Their kicking skills are good. We’re holding up fine in the air, but once it’s on the ground or running we’re struggling. Missing Hunt or Rivers to lock down more on those types of attacks. Hibberd is ok, but Bowey and Salem aren’t great at defending. They’re both offensive options.

    Are we playing who can hold the ball the longest?

    get rid of it on the first option. May might as well have not played at this point. 
     

     

    We need to take the first option, not fend off Hollywood style and get caught....how many times this quarter?

    Go back to the VFL Bedford

    Rough after one contest that suited the bigger guy. Let’s see Tuohy get him if Bedford gets it in space.

    Cats are experienced and strong bodied  team. Need to stop trying to break tackles and take Hollywood options. Back to basics, first option football when the pressure is on.

    Steven May is genuinely killing us!

    How about more time focusing on your game Maysey and less time spraying other blokes.

    Thought viney had learnt but alas let's take everyone on again, same with harmes.

    This is how Geelong have such a good home ground advantage. We seem so confused with the lack of space on wings. Everything is compressed and we can't play our regular game style.

    Went to ground and cost a goal earlier in the quarter. He was good against Brisbane, but wasn’t great last week and was close to worst on ground that first quarter. He’ll need to lift or he’ll be dropped again.

    Bit harsh

    Bedford 69kg v Touhy 91kg

    not sure he will win any body on body contest if he stays on him. Let’s see how he goes for the rest of the game?


    Why are our players falling over? Seen at least 10 times our player has fallen over. Cats staying on their feet.

    1st quarter 

    stupidity abounds.  Harmes May Oliver Viney. Take the first option. Turned into trouble. Fended tackler ??! This is not v the Kangas.   Not sharp.  Lucky to be even.

    Bowey.  Ummm. Hmmmm.
     
    Trac 😄

    Twice Bedford getting caught out in a marking contest with a bigger player that quarter. What goes on there?

    Playing a small forward line has this consequence

    Really wish we brought one of Hunt/Rivers in.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
