    Turner, JVR and woey id like to see more of next year in the 1s

    Preseason games and even round 1 I’d love to try Turner, May and lever down back. Petty and JVR up forward. Woey in Vineys spot and rotate off half forward.
    Rather give it a crack preseason and round 1 then get to the last few rounds and we’re too scared to try anything else even though something might not be working anyway

    Wonder if these maggots have any idea how many young players career's they are ruining by deliberately giving young players the wrong impression of what is fair and what is not.

    Bit of a sad situation I reckon.

    What on earth. Not a great umpired game but miles off what you’ve suggested

    Pretty decent game by VFL standards. Will be interesting to see if Southport went out too hard.

    Wouldn't mind Weed moving on for other opportunities and we can open up a spot. I know he has a year to run but surely someone would take him. 

    He's just so out of sync going for his marks. Can't seem to time a jump, can't one-grab or out-body smaller  opponents even at this level.

    Need more out of Weid. 6 possessions 1 mark, put down several he should have taken as usual.

    He's rucked very well but still drops marks when he's the only one who gets a clear grab at it.

    Weid has been great in a day where it is pissing down rain in a position he doesn't play, against an opponent with 40kgs on him

    I really like Chandlers game. He is exactly what we need in the HF next year. Love his chase, pace and work ethic. Not the best decision maker - granted - but we need to play him more to rest others throughout the season.

    Agree. 

    Is more balanced. 

    But too slow to pressure effectively or burn off an opponent the way Toby does.

    Chandler is and always has been a midfielder with forward craft more than a forward. He’s an excellent link player through the middle of the ground.

    He’s yet to master clean hands around a contest though to really push his case as a high half forward

    Weed needs Russell Roberston's old man to teach him how to mark.

    I remember Robbo saying he taught him how to mark and it was quite an odd method. But it worked and I'd try anything

    I know I won't be popular for saying this, but Oskar Baker needs to be traded or delisted for 2023..

    Weed simply can'y mark the ball in a contest.  

    Why is Bowey not playing?  (I missed the start)

    Ineligible. Too much afl, not enough VFL

    Because Melbourne are out of the finals. He could only play while we were still in it.

    It's not his ruckwork that's the problem.

    Chandler is just far too good to waste his time at this level. Surely has every right to go elsewhere if we can’t promise him a regular senior game.

    Disagree.

    Sure straight-line running he can't burn an opponent in the way Toby does but he has him covered in about every other facet of the game. And his pressure is fantastic. You watching the game? It's a GF. See that tackle then? lol

    And clean hands? You've lost the plot, he's on another level to the rest in the wet.

    He has been emergency almost all year, Goodwin made minimal changes all year. 

    His form was seemingly irrelevant this year in Goodwin's eyes.

    • 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.
