    Who is our genius forward coach?

    How we didn’t seek a new coach at the end of last season is beyond me.

    I tell you hwat, any chance Petracca, Laurie, Howes, Van Rooyen, Schache and Chandler don't fumble the ball?


    Sweet Jesus that goal was a slog.

    The whole quarter. 

    I don’t want to say much for that half other than I think Howes has looked good.

    Otherwise dropped marks galore, sloppy strange kicks to nobody/wrong team, wasted chances, terrible i50.

    Yuck.

    Blake Howes grew into the game but you have got to punch in humid conditions not go for the mark 1 on 1.

     

    Thank god for our full forward and centre-half-forward Eddie Langdon and Jack Viney for kicking the goals for us tonight. Honestly lads that was atrocious. Surely this isn't the gameplan? Either the players are absolute morons or the coaching staff are. I don't care which but we need to figure it out pronto.

    Hard to believe we ended up winning that quarter.

    Howes looks OK.

    Petraca has to play like Dustin Martin, he isn't at the moment. Too scared to have a crack at goal.

    Laurie, not impressed.

    JVR needs to do something in the 2nd half.

    Somehow we are only 7 points down

    Too many passengers. 2Q thoughts:

    - Thank goodness for Windsor

    - Oliver looks undercooked

    - Gawn doing well

    - ANB, Salem and Howes playing well

    - Laurie and Schache having a mare

    Is not up to it.

    Chin shows more endeavour and effort but unfortunately neither of them are up to the challenge so far.  Laurie's a wet rookie.  Chin's had a few more goes.

    Chin hasn't performed since about round 8 or 9 last season and only minor impact since returning from his (too) short stint in the mcgoos.

    Too easily pushed off the contest for mine.

    I can only imagine he’s a training hero, loves a practice match (hey he was good against Carlton last week) but he shows nothing when the game means something.

    All throughout the pre-season the talk that we would improve and be better... So far we look as bad as last year, inside 50 galore for 1 miserable goal. Btw Oliver looks underdone.

    And for the life of me I didn’t see a single finger on ANB’s goal. Not sure how they made that decision so quickly.

    Atrocious conditions, play the conditions don't try to be too cute.

    This is wet weather conditions play the percentages.

    Same problems with our accuracy.

    Looked horrible but only 7 points down. Badly need to sharpen up our skills. My eyes were bleeding watching that.

    no doubt the AFL are happy they scheduled these two teams for the season opener. 

    Yeah, this is proof the AFL don’t think things through. 2 teams built on defence. Just what the casual fan doesn’t want. And all because they are too busy worrying about what the NRL is doing, instead of focusing on their own product.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
