This short [censored] has to go

 

Chipping around half back and then creating a path through seems to be used a lot more than previous seasons.

Tackling and pressure excellent.

An uninspiring game, with few highlights, lots of spilled marks, lots of fumbling, and missed shots at goal.

May and Langdon excellent. Trac and Clarry looking really good.

Goalkicking - grrrrr...

Johnson looking handy.

Flat and uninspiring so far.

Our skills are appalling. Really hope we’re lulling them into a false sense of security only to switch it up in the second half.

    Billing’s can’t handle pressure. Gameplan is still a mystery, looks slow and uncertain 

     

    Dee Spencer is correct - we just don't move the ball. Zero run and carry....other than Koz there is no speed or dare. Devoid of ideas at half back because no one has the speed or creativity to create any space. 

    Very vanilla and boring so far

    So I assume Windsor is not playing HB?

    Slow ball movement = no space up the ground = turnovers = mounting scores against = lose the game.

    How can billings make that kick but miss two relatively easy shots on goal?

    How many psychologists can we fit in the soft cap?

    1.8 in nearly two quarters. 

    Not only is that woeful but who the hell is our goalkicking coach??

    I thought we were going to be more aggressive with our ball movement?

    This is uninspiring. A praccy is a perfect place to trial dash and dare! If we lose, we lose, it’s ok, but if we lose playing safe and boring like much of last year, what’s the point? 

    Freo embarrassed us TWICE last year.

    What’s the point of this? 

    What’s the message?

    We've made zero adjustment with our ball movement.  It's the same as 2024.

    Look at the way Freo transition off half back compared to us.

    Another year of slow boring football.

    He's never done it before....

    Horrible kicking in front of goal to have 1.5 from set shots inside 50, how do you coach for that

    Edited by Garbo

     

    I was hoping to see at least a glimmer of a new game plan

    We are getting towelled up again

    • 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.
