I counted 12 steps on Rivs goal kicking run - rough rough call that ultimately cost the gane

Correct.  No way too far. 

Though Petty and Langdon had chances to bury it

    Petty and Langdon  missing easy shots that would have put us nearly 5 goals up lost it for us 

    Not really.  If Petty kicks the goal the ball goes back to the centre and the future takes on a different path from that point onwards.

    BAILEY HAIRCUT AND THE HEARTBREAKER NEED TO GO ! BOTH SHIZŹEN Time to play JEFFO !!

    You really actually have no idea, Fritta who I have been critical of recently played a very solid team game tonight and played as a defensive forward on Andrews.

    And you claim you coached

    Sweet Jesus

    ANB was tripped over the line and they got that last goal from it. WTF. 

    We don’t help ourselves though by not kicking a goal in the last AGAIN. 

    Lol he absolutely wasn't tripped over the line.

    And watch how it doesn’t even make the news cycle. Instead they will chose to focus on Mays spoil which didn’t even touch the knobs head.

    [censored] off, umpiring criminal & playing Petty again cost us 0.4, he is sooo underwhelming 

    We had a crack, some good young kids

    I'm not a Goodwin basher, he got us a flag and generally speaking has turned us in to a good H&A team in his tenure.

    But he needs to be MUCH better with his use of the sub. I doubt K.Brown could have saved the game for us two weeks in a row, but we were clearly getting steamrolled in the last and he waited until there was about 4 minutes left? Why not inject the fresh legs earlier? Did he not take some learnings away from last year's final?

    Some of the umpiring though, sheesh! Rivers run too far? Free against for blocking when May marked on the wing (and didn't May let the ump know about it too), May mark not paid, just a few of many BS decisions.

    I'm not a basher of Fritsch but nate, you've gotta at least look like you're chasing your opponent, especially when the ball is on the wing! You can get away with it when you're hitting the scoreboard but when you've been quiet for a few weeks these "efforts" stick out like dogs balls l.

    Intensity definitely at a level we haven't seen since the Geelong game.  

    Physical or mental? Gotta be both...

    Mate he wouldn't have looked out of place at the MCG on Wednesday night, it was that blatant.

    There were far worse decisions made on the night.

    Disappointed to lose but bloody impressed with our intensity and contested footy. Strangely feel more upbeat compared to last week which is just a mindset thing I guess. Keep playing the kids.

    A good effort when we all thought we will get owned. I was happy with our midfield performance in particular. We smashed them in contested possessions and won the clearances which is a great sign without Trac and Salem. 
     

    But bitterly disappointing to once again [censored] the bed in front of goal. It’s cost us games, finals and probably another premiership and it’s infuriating.

    Also a massive massive [censored] you to the AFL and the absolute hacks they employ to umpire our game. That Rivers goal should never have been disallowed. They absolutely cost us a win tonight and if we were a club that stood for anything we would question this one sided display. But we won’t. And so continues the endless cycle of [censored] umpiring costing teams games. 
     

    2024 can get in the goddamn bin. 
     

    PS- great game from AMW!

    PPS- all you Clarry detractors can eat my shorts

    Always the same. Play slow = lose. Every time I see May hanging on to it in the goal square my heart sinks. Just sucks all the energy out of us. We are not batteries, we are human. Get the energy up and it gives you more energy, not less.

    We must be the dumbest team to never learn from it.

    The lack of composure from so many of our players was just not good enough. Should have won that by 3 or 4 goals. Langdon and Petty missing regulation shots at goal, 4 times between them. 

    i said to my family we have to take all our chances in the last, miss and we won't win.

    When Petty missed at the top of the last you could tell it was game over.

    The result was predictable after that.

    The only forward who looked like kicking straight was Kozzy.

    And again, we stopped to a walk in the last. I can only assume it's the combination of too few doing the heavy lifting.

    AMW a really solid debut I thought. Clarry and JVR early were brilliant, but JVR fell off a cliff in the second half.

    And finally, May should be told long kicks only from the kick outs or only take the absolute no brainers short. Far too often it's him turning it over from the kick in this season. 

    Such a disappointing result. A brilliant second quarter, some good patches in the other quarters, but our inability to take regulation shots on goal and convert them has cost us one flag and will see us miss the 8 altogether this year.

    Sorry, also Viney was incredible.

    The fitness of the team is starting to actually show. I wonder if the pre season program was changed.

    Don't worry we'll peak in September, just won't be playing unfortunately

    We result failed to stop their chip possession game in the end. 

     

    From the back half they kept chipping,  forcing us to man up and wear ourselves out defending. 

    They were then  able to keep moving the ball quickly into their fwd line all night. 

    We knew they'd play that way but we couldn't stop it. 

    Great effort from the boys 

    Disgraceful importing yet again. AFl got what they wanted

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
