Yep Hunter, you’re not up to it, scared of contact

    I hate to say it.  I love JVR, but he's just not there at the moment.  TMac tries his heart out, but I think the game has past him by now.  Ordinary from Clarry and Trac tonight.  We just don't have a functioning forward line.Cover Fritta and we are gone at the moment.

    I thought Petty started in defence

    Yeah he did, my bad

    Oh please, we had just as much to play for as Essendon.

    Good on them for pumping us, we are downhill skiers at the best of times.

    People will agree and disagree, fact is we went out in straight sets last year without a whimper.

    This performance shows me that if a few are off, do others stand up?

    We’ll probably respond next week, then who knows after that.

    It’s Essendon FFS.

    So we're 5 goals down. Those 5 goals we let both there ruckman kick. 

    Good they can stand out in the rain and cop it.

    This has really shown us up. We can either embrace it and change for the better, or just ignorantly paper over the cracks thinking it will all just sort itself out.

    I thought Goodwin had learnt from last year... Maybe we are wrong 🤔

    What about the two our ruckman should have kicked.

    The lack of leadership is the worst part of this game for me. Nobody has stood up today and wanted to really change the state of play. Embarrassing.

    Redman can flop around like an ice skater and get one. Petty gets pile driven into the ground with out the ball and gets [censored] all

    Our players are slung or pushed so many times after   they have kicked the ball.

    Oliver did try to impose himself in the last, too little too late.

    May is worrying at the moment.

    Getting this to under 20 points would be a huge win.

    • 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.

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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?
