Unfortunately May is getting taught a lesson by Daniher. 

He really got going that quarter.

Their half backs are just clearing it way too easily. 

Doesn't help when Spargo, Anb, Melksham and Pickett offer zero defensive pressure. 

Could have had 4 that quarter Daniher. Got off the chain

    Glad to see the negative trolls are back after losing that quarter.

    Sorry but what was positive about that slop? It was insipid.

    Goodwin has the team stinking it up.  He is all talk. 

    As opposed to you, on an internet forum.

    You’d think we are playing a division 3 team, not a premiership contender. 

    Fair point. But we played pretty poorly for thirty mins 

    Let's hope we reset like the first thirty.

    If we can reset after half time like the Lions did after qtr time where still well in this. Need our midfielders to lift.

    Backs have no hope the way the ball is sling shotting back from our half forward line straight through the corridor. Our ball entry into our 50 is slow, predictable and inaccurate and just comes straight out again. We refuse to use the full width of the ground just kicking back into traffic inviting a turnover.

    It was a very good team playing better than us. They are a really really good team and we don’t have our best player or our best forward.

    Are you at the game this week Steve, or still in Europe complaining that Melbourne supporters don't turn up to games, and in the same breath lauding how important Collingwood's crowd is to their arousal levels?

    Can't help being overseas for work, would be there every week at the G if I was home. Having a great time over here though thanks. 

    Nice way of dodging the question! 

    Look forward to your response. 

     


    Few of our quieter guys need to get involved, or involved again. Melk quiet, Kozzie dunno, still looks out of it aside for a nice goal and a good run or two. Could have had another I reckon. Maybe we’ll see more of him in the second half. We’ll need it. Can we please man up when the ball leaves our forward 50???

    Those don’t account for being so weak at the contest

    The defense fell apart with Petty off. I hope they injected him really well. We need him!

    Best thing Fagan ever did was get rid of Rich. All of a sudden Lions aren’t exposed in the back half for lack of leg speed.

    Melksham is dangerous tonight. 
     

    Kick a goal ffs Jakey!

    We are winning the contested possessions and clearances 

    They are spreading and hitting targets much better 

    Need to lock the ball in our forward 50, their getting it out to easy and that's here the run is coming from. Bot we really need to hit passes the number that drop short or go over the leading players head is killing us.

    Smart coaching from Fagan, drag May away from goals.

    One thing I know we are the experts at giving up a late quarter goal.

    Playing ok, just got to man up when they switch sides, their run is killing us.

    We all wanted Spargs to find his '21 form again, turning players inside out etc. but we just have not seen it for far too long now. Has trained his [censored] off, just mikes off it now.

    Opened up like a can of worms.

    Wings are vulnerable.

    Our bottom six are getting exposed for skill deficiencies. 

    Can't defend the corridor.

    Howes in for Hunter??

    It will be a good day when we can develop a smallish forward who can run hard all game like Nibbler, tackle like Nibbler, but make good decisions, kick well and not fumble below the knees constantly. So frustrating

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
