The free kick against Balta for the push in the back, late in the game, in front of the goal, was a shocker. Perfectly executed tackle. should have been HTB against Carlton.

I know its a tough game to umpire but that was pure incompetence.

    Interesting to read Voss’ comments this morning about their heavy loading over the past 4 weeks, and that their strategy has been to effectively use the early bye as their season starter.

    Wonder what our strategy is?

    Don't mention the L word.

    Seems to be extremely triggering for some on here.

    Can you post a link to voss' comments please.

    Thanks in advance.

    Also that TDK 50 metres (more like 65 metres) penalty and goal didn't help. 50 metres penalty wasn't even there in the first place. 🙄

    Particularly those that think considering potential mitigating factors to help understand a poor performance equals making excuses.

    But on serious note, that's an interesting comment from Voss. Would help explain their fade out against the blues, and perhaps also their strategy to attack so aggressively early (ie to build a winning buffer).

    Thanks in advance.


    It was at the 7:50 mark of his post match press conference:

    That's a great point about attacking early to create a buffer.

    I was taken aback when he said they have been planning this since November… it’s some serious forethought and strategy.

    I have always been a big fan of early momentum. Given the top 8 is typically settled after round 8 its critical to get off to a good start

    I'd be filthy if I was a tigers fan.

    How could the AFL not find a way to ensure the tigers had at least a 6 day break. Ridiculous.

    I went to a music trivia night at a brewery instead of watching Carlton and I won a slab. I'd call that a win I guess.

    @binman just wondering on your thoughts of the Richmond gameplan and style with Yze in charge?

    He's making a habit of this lately old Crippa and getting away with it.

    Agree - applies to both individual games and seasons.

    Def a calculated gamble by the lions to risk early season losses by tinkering with their fitness program, if that's what they've done (I haven't watched the clip yet).

    One they obviously think is worth taking.

    literally no excuse to have a 5 day break when only 4 games in the OR. 

    madness

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
