Silver lining is that maybe this precipitates Goodwin's farewell?

Not sure the board has the guts but one can dream.

We'd have to miss finals for it to be considered I'd say.

 

Strange game 

 

All the talk about Petty. Fritz has contributed zero and roo 2 hit outs. Getty nothing from them and have for the last month.

    They're killing us around the stoppage and killing us around the ground. If they tighten up their possessions and keep running they will score quickly. I just can't see us winning this. We are so, so bad.

    There was a bit of a melee. Shame we didn't put in this much fight against Collingwood.

    Not where I’m sitting. Out number 3-1. It’s just that quarter we didn’t have much to cheer about.

     

    Kozzy went down to the rooms early in that quarter. He was limping a fair bit behind the play

    I hope North don't find their shooting boots or we could be in trouble

    If Kozzy is going to spend time in the middle, he can't continue to avoid contested situations. He goes in one handed and is timid in contested situations. He also lowers his body as he goes into the contest to try and get a head high free, and when the opposition doesn't get sucked into giving away the free, he ends up on the floor with the ball and then rushes his disposal.

    Needs to cut it out of his game if he is going to continue to get minutes in the midfield.

    That's very likely with no Petracca, I can almost put some money on us missing the 8.


    Poor quarter, bodes badly for the rest of the game. Forward line have packed it in after a good first quarter 

    It’s interesting that we are more than 10% down on our season average disposal efficiency.

    Clean that up and we’ll be much more likely to score.

    I am not normally one to try ridiculous player shifting mid game but I'd honestly put Oliver deep in the pocket and put Kolt next to him. Shift Petty back and McDonald forward. Leave JVR in the ruck and have Gawn play defensively exclusively. Pickett on the wing and Windsor playing a defensive wing. Give Langdon more space to run. Then sub Chandler and bring on Brown to play an attacking flank role.

    JVR was BOG against Collingwood

    Yep we’ve been butchering it.

    North’s contest work was very good that qtr. If they keep it up we’ll be done.

    Sad to see a champion like Clarry reduced to a plodding ineffective confused player. Looks totally cooked. 

    Pretty poor second quarter. Good to see Rivers getting a run through the middle though. Oliver still looks  miles off being the player he was and I am not sure it’s his fitness that’s holding him back.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes 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.
