Not a big fan of the chip/mark game plan in defence. We don’t have the skill for that and it just feels pointless. 

 

I like it. Make them defend in the heat. There’s nothing to lose from doing that in a game like this. It’s a new look for us and now’s the time to see how it works.

    Death, Taxes, Melbourne playing boring predictable vanilla football

    Positives

    Trac back

    Clayton contributing

    AJ having a crack

    young blokes getting a touch

    Negatives

    Early goals matter

    Another knee takes out a Demon champ

    is Rivers playing?

    Disposal mediocre hand & foot

    Set shots suck (again)

    Freo Bunnies!

    Good choice.

    Billings is so useless, looked defeated as soon as he marked it. 

    Except for his two missed shots at goal, he has played better than a dozen other teammates.

    So far we have been a distant second best in basic skills, ball movement, marking contests, pace and kicking accuracy.

    Apart from that, Goody will tell you everything is going to plan.

    At least there’s lots of love … a practice game let’s hope the 2nd half & the season ahead is positive

    Geez we look sloppy today. Yet another afternoon where Treacy and grandpa Walters do as they please.

    Easy misses from Salem, Fritsch, Sharp, AJ and Billings hasn’t helped massage the scoreboard. Billings is so useless, looked defeated as soon as he marked it. 
     

    Just a praccy match but definitely close to worst case scenario on what I didn’t want to see today. 

    If there’s just ONE positive that I’m going to take out of today… you have fixed the Bnag in your profile name!!! Now THAT’s cause for celebration!!🎉🙌👏

    Give Koz a run ffs

    What’s the point?

    He’s not going to bail us out in the first 3 games so you may as well not bother today.

    F50 ground ball pressure needs to lift along with set shots. That will stop their rebound from defence 
    2 teams but very humid today in Peel region currently 26 degrees with 81% humidity

    Hate the chipping around. When other teams do it to us I love it because it means they don't know what to do. And that's how it is going with us. And every kick is another opportunity for the other team to intercept in their forward line FFS.

    Missed Fritsch for an easy out the back kick too, he’s been far from the worst but so uninspiring

    Now talking about "21", after the spiel about last year.

    Our first real hit out with a new forward coach.

    Give us a chance before all this, pessimism.

    Wait until mid season, or at least after the first couple of H&A games.

    But, then you won't be able to say "I told you so"!

    Ok I'll try.tx.

    yep

    and none of our players have the skills to pick the eye out of a needle

    it won't work when you can't hit a target under minimal pressure

    Everyone still think Bowey is an excellent half back? 

    He hasn't been the same since his injury.

    • 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.
