Not sure about everyone else but kicking a point isn’t advantage?

They should never call advantage so close to goal. Just let the team take a set shot.

    Done that 10 times already.

    Bummers will continue to run and gun. We need to get our hands on it a lot more.

    Would be good if the midfield could play the whole 4 quarters without lapses in concentration.

    Kayo working flawlessly for us


    Fine start for Essendon they should be really proud of that effort. Draper scorching us in the ruck and if Petty is really hurt then they could really exploit that weakness down back.

    Great kick from Melksham to steal one back before QT but these guys need a rocket up their behind.

    We need to keep backing our ball movement because once we break the centre line the Bombers are very susceptible. Get stuck in and win more contested footy to shield the backs and we can easily get back in this.

    If you take the advantage it is, miss the goal stiff 

    We didn't take advantage, the foul was called after Grundy had disposed of the ball. Hard for Kozzy to know if he should kick or not.

    I've never seen Clarrie start a game with 2 touches in the first.

    Him and Trac need to really lift. Not good enough.

    I'm 5 km from the Adelaide Oval and there's no wind at all, so I don't know where you are. It's not raining. In fact, perfect conditions for footy. BB will play. There won't be any changes for weather.

    Might have changed your mind ..windy ..a bit of rain & no BB 🤔

    Shocking defence efforts but very efficient forward line entries -  almost the opposite of last season -  our backs need to get head in the contest and mids work harder defensively 


    Mids need to get involved more just letting the bombers have to many unpressured entries fwd  

    Let’s hope the coaches have sorted some of that [censored] out.

    Petty and Tomlinson stinking it up 

    One of the results of playing Petty up forward for most of the year?

    They are playing with a really high defense. Just have Rivers and Sparrow kick to space behind their last line of defence, get Kozzy, JVR and Milkshake work on ground.

     

    1st 

    fumbles very costly 

    Bombers spare defensive across half back is very good (Scott 1 Goodwin 0)

    Draper causing problems 

    Oliver 2 touches 🤮🤮

    Parish 13 disposals 🤔🤔

    Pickett nearly dangerous 🤩

    Fritsch 💙❤️

    Good news is that they can’t play much better and we have much we can improve on. Not losing to those cheats in Adelaide.

    • 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.
