Time to give Jefferson and Fullarton a run and see what they have to offer.

    Oliver was putrid in the last quarter, let Green push him around like he was a first year player. Tmac looked like the tmac of old.., Have we won a close game since 21?? We buckle like a cheap seat from Anaconda 

    Beat the Lions last year off the top of my head

    Why can’t we seal these close games 🤷‍♀️

    Just watch those last 3 minutes.

    We didn't even man up properly when they took position.

    We're so one dimensional

    Genuinely lost that game due to the umpiring. 

    3rd game where a sh-t free, this time to toby ducking, costs us a loss by under a goal. Sick to death of it.

    Head in the sand. Their handball game in the middle of the game and our horrible centre clearance work were the difference.

    Some author will write a best seller on how to destroy a Premiership window based on the Melbourne Football Club.

    Tough loss.

    Thought our effort was very good most of the night. stuck at it when the game looked gone

    They just had that bit more class than us when it counted.

    The boys can hold their heads up. We were just beaten by a better team on the night

    Go dees.

    Platitudes, we are Sheeit so many ordinary players

    Billings and Laurie not up to AFL standard.

    Now that I believe in ... Turner should have been on earlier as his bulk and marking were missing up forward. Rotten season for all of us.

    After being so good for 3 quarters, perhaps he didn't have the fitness base to go a 4th.

    [censored] we miss Trac, that's all I have to say. Cue in the rack, stub the durrie out and throw the stubble against the wall. Time to look forward to 25.

    Who would have thought that Tom Green would have won that last centre clearance. We were shizen all night in the middle.

    It was obvious how we cleared out the space … then Tom Green knew it and CLARRY WAS ASLEEP. Clarry not the contested player that he was. Green beat him to the footy on many occasions.

    You'd think they would have put Koz in the guts with a minute to go.

    Instead they waltzed it out

    Effort was there. Just not good enough. Bloody frustrating though.

    - Lose to Carlton by a point 

    - Lose to Brisbane by 5 points

    - Lose to GWS by 2 points

    Mids got absolutely smashed all night.

    You'd think by the last quarter we would have at least try to really go defensive on their mids to stop their stoppage dominance, but no we didn't.

    Oliver giving Green space in that last centre contests sums it all up.

    We cost ourselves. They dominated us for long periods of time. Used it better and were just a class above. We tried hard but they’re simply better.

    We don't run with the ball and link up, don't hit targets and we are so slow to move it in transition.

    We only looked dangerous when we were taking the game on in the last 6 minutes.

    Footy is a 4 quarter game.

    No. He switched off. He is a shell of his former self, he was unaccountable

    Heartbreaking. 

    But the loss sums up 2024 perfectly.

    We showed glimpses, but not consistent enough. Our lapses are too frequent and too costly. Better teams are overtaking us now and we’re too slow to respond and too little too late. 

    Can we get a Hogan type player? 🤣

    Good to see Petty continue to improve.

    Still a sniff for finals but will be tough for the reasons above. Still hoping.

    • 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.

    • 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.
