They would have been a very handy 4 points. We really ran out of legs in the last. 

Delighted for the positive signs from our debutants. XL in particular looks fantastic.

    Predictable result, but pretty happy with that as a first up hit out. First times looked good, especially XL.

    Fritta would want that game back. Shocker

    [censored] flat after that, deserved to win.

    Lindsay had one of the best debuts I’ve seen from us in recent years. The stats look good but his football IQ is off the charts. Goes in super hard too which is unusual for his style normally. Gun.

    Really missed May, McVee and Pickett. A step too far with all the injuries/unavailable. Sure, lots to be positive about, but a loss is a loss.

    surely we should be able to defend in the last 30 seconds?

     

    fitness, skills or coaching? 

    We were spent by the last 5 or 10. They did well but GWS experience was just, just enough.

    The 'Kids/Debs':

    Goals:

    • 1 – Windsor
    • 1 – Roo
    • 1 – Sharp
    • 2 – Jeffo
    • 1 – Henderson
    • 1 – AJ

    Lindsay:   D: 22,  T: 6, Eff: 81.2%

    Langford:  Not on field for long.

    I said earlier in the week if we lost it wouldn't be for the kids/debs.  In fact they kept us int he game.

    They did their job superbly.

    Our skills and pace are still the bane of our existence. Until we fix those two it'll be hard to expect a great season. Fought well today.

    I thought we were the better side all game. GWS did have many chances late - that they squandered. Result is what it is. We played a lot of debut players, and, didn’t run the game out. Only so much fitness you can get into players not in the system.

    We SHOULD have won that, but sadly that’s not how the points are awarded. 

    We had our chances, and they took theirs. Giants are a seriously good team.

    Pretty gutted to start the season with another one that got away, but I’m proud of the boys today, great first outing and particularly so from the debutants. 

    Bright future ahead 💙❤️

    Really disappointing result, but I thought it was promising signs. Our contested game looks sharp, pressure was good, Trac back to his best. The first gamers all added something. Lindsay is clearly already a gun.

    Going to be a fun ride this year I think.

    Thanks for the positive post Nasher. I needed it.

    It's just the way it went down.

    Kind of like we knew it would happen for some strange reason.

    But yea some good signs against a very very good team

    He’s on notice now. Need a rocket. Love him, but looks lazy. When he delivers it looks silky and classy, but if he’s struggling…

    Couple of really good efforts on the members wing though that set up our final shot. But he just doesn't seem to have the core strength to win a ground ball.

    we would only have 6 goals without the newbies!

    crazy

    Im gutted but considering a third of our team are the new, the effort and team work was outstanding

    Not sure what’s happened to Fritsch over summer. As someone who’s watched the match sim, practice match and Round 1 in their entirety, I don’t remember him even having a moment. Worrying signs.

    That was a good effort, disciplined the way we set up players in sync preventing there run for most of the day. 
    Could have gone either way but plenty of positives other then 4 points lost taken from today.

    Some should look for positives because plenty of the usual suspects nothing but negativity on the game day thread FFS

    Oh Bowey only 2 tackles - he was very good all day

    Rooey running under the footy- Sam Taylor had zero impact and was unable to create rebound because of this.

    On to next week

    Max Gawn needs to develop a banana kick, he misses too many of those 15-20 m with an angle. You just can't miss those opportunities and he misses many of those.

    • 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?

      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.
