    Or perhaps Gawn’s palm on the line…

    Or the ARC overturning the ANB goal…

    Or Melksham’s ACL…

    Or our own  inability to kick easy shots on goal…

    Yep. and all those you mentioned would not have happened if we had been given the goal and Finished 2nd

    What is happening looks like both sides that beat us will play off next week and we should have won both games, hope the players think about this over summer, completely [censored] the bed

    On paper, no.

    To beat them you need to out coach them. There's a reason why Goodwin is 1-3 against McRae (and barely got over the line in that one win).

    They are exceptionally well coached.

    Goody completely outcoached McRae on KB. 10 more scoring shots. we just couldn’t kick straight

    and i dont think we were out coached in the QF just didn’t get it done. again kicked poorly. we need to improve skills

    The entire Finals System would have changed…

    Coulda, shoulda, woulda

    Doesn't change my point. With a midfield full of crapp kicks and no dominant key forward, we don't win finals. The 2 x straight sets is absolute proof of that. The Carlton H&A game doesn't change our inability to win finals.

    Watson and Daisy doing special comments. It’s a struggle. 

    Special mention to the nincompoop who commented on the "finals-like atmosphere" at the Gabba.

    Um, yeah.  It's a final you goose.

    If Lions do win it somehow they have no hope next week. Blues do have a shot though. There is something in being dog hungry.

    Fitzroy at least look to have stopped Carlton's momentum with around 5 minutes left in that 1st quarter and will need to start chipping away at that deficit now. 

    Home crowd seem a bit stunned and intimidated by the large travelling contingent of a real football club instead of the  frankenstein outfit they follow.

    We tried all year with the goal kicking stuff.  Didn't work when it counted and also in a number of H&As.

    We need fresh blood that brings the skills / finish / finesse with them as well as a new forward coach.

    And of course a midfield coach now that Ooze has moved on.

    😂.. am laughing.

    Can’t we just have two commentators and maybe one boundary rider? Way too many cooks.

    • 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.

    • 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.
