This is the most pathetic forward 50 display I’ve ever seen.

Billings - 4 touches

Fritsch - 3 touches

Petty - 1 touch

Pickett - 1 touch

JVR - 7 touches and not one in our 50

Inside 50s - 28 to 20 our way, and not a single score from any of them.


The ball is being walked out. Everyone else is pulling their weight. No matter how good your midfield and defence is you can’t counter the ball being rebounded out so quickly.

It ain’t the forwards mate. The delivery in is bordering u15s. Not much a forward can do when it’s kicked on top of their heads.

    agreed.  This is the most pathetic forward 50 display I’ve ever seen.

    Billings - 4 touches

    Fritsch - 3 touches

    Petty - 1 touch

    Pickett - 1 touch

    Chandler - 4 touches. 

    zero goals

     Blues defenders are destroying us

    We just don’t have an in form midfielder unfortunately 

    We have a one paced midfield full stop a crash and bang one, we need speed in it.

    Tall forwards getting outnumbered, that’s a work rate problem from our small forwards.

    Our delivery is pretty poor inside 50.

    Umps aren’t great, but they aren’t the cause of our problems. How about moving the ball aggressively?

    Chandler a ghost

    2nd quarter 

    Petracca 👏👍🏻

    Billings 🤢

    Oliver 🤢🤢

    Pickett 🤢🤢🤢

    Crntre clearances 🤢🤢🤢🤢

    Goodwin finally tagged Walsh 😡

    ? full strength team ? Only Salem out of best 22? 
     

    umpiring is HORRENDOUS 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢. So inconsistent!!! Favouring Carlton unbelievably

    Good summary.

    I said our talls in our fwd line was an unknown issue pregame. And Turner, Petty and Jvr have not scored .

    Sadly Fritta and Kozzie have been at least just as bad.

    Chin and Billings need a rest. Sub Chin off... he must be injured.

    Sparrow played a good 2 nd quarter. Tracca our forward.

    Hard to really name other good players tonight.

    A lot of panic out there with some really poor decisions and it really looks like the same team against the lions.

    I know there is no reason but every time this club has a big win our talks a player up the next week seems to be a shocker.

    Are our sights too low. Do we seem too content after beating cats?

    I know it sounds silly but seems to be a recurring theme. 

    Let's just hope we can finish with a bit more dignity and not allow them to kick another fifty points to get to one hundred.

    Hunker down after tonight. Drop three or four players and come back better next week's.

    I know we'd still be losing if umps didn't give away so many frees but it's still a really poor effort from them tonight. Just really really poor.

    Percentage counts. If they weren't so biased with 11 to 3 we would be three goals down.

    I actually wish the club would cop a fine and just call tonight out as a rubbish effort.

    Can't blame the forwards when we can't kick to advantage, even our first goal was not to trac's advantage

    Every week our midfield is beaten too easily in the contest! It’s one thing to focus on sling shot footy for scoring efficiency, but is another to be beaten too easily in this area when the good teams manufacture goals with top KPP forwards. Viney, Petracca and Oliver are too good to work against their strengths. 
     

    Now about a game plan that has contested footy and slingshot goal efficiency! The two can exist. MacQualter needs to find the balance,

    He can run but just kicks the ball in the air like Sparrow.

    He's not first on line mate. Not tonight by a long way and that's saying something.

    Still think we'll make game of this. It's been a [censored] show thus far, but we'll get to see what our leaders are made of in the second half. 

    I just wished we didn't have to make up so much ground. We have been putrid and the umpiring hasn't helped. Carlton need to win and are doing everything right to make us pay. I'm hoping the Dees come out with some fire power!

    Not buying that. Forwards ground ball fumbles are prolific.

    Two weeks in a row where we’ve managed just 3 goals in a half, except we’ve been punished this week.

    We need to address our scoring issues if we want to dream of winning a final this year.

    Our only hope is that Carlton fade badly after half time and we get a second wind after long rotations of players in the first half. 

    Really need an extra goal before half time to aid the comeback, but it is what it is.

    Translation pls! 


    Swallow murdered 3 inside 50's, didn't see him look and don't think he was under the pressure he thought he was. Pickett also a ghost.

    • 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.
