Van Rooyen just hasn’t looked like taking a mark tonight.

He should have been dropped.

 

Sparrow also needs a lashing more than the likes of Fritsch imo. Fritsch at least still presents even though his intensity and second efforts should be better in the contest.

When was Sparrow’s last competent match? 5 possessions, 2 tackles for someone who is usually in the team for pressure is [censored] poor.

    Actually doing the kid a disservice not dropping him. It's really poor coaching.

    Fitness. Half the side looks overweight. I suspect Selwyn holds them back more than he should. He's not really a high performance fitness coach.

    This is just not good enough. "Hope along the highway", yeah right. Where was that hope tonight other than 15 minutes in the third quarter. I've been quite positive about the club in the past but I honestly think Goodwin has to step down. Is he coaching to be sacked?

     

    When Max is playing uninspired and mentally checked out, that is very damning for Goodwin. Seems like the Captain doesn't have his back anymore.

    Fitness. they look unfit, spent all summer hugging each other.

    I completely agree. It was worth giving TF a go. He couldn't have been worse than this.

    what is with our players having zero awareness of where the man on the mark is???


    Stop banging on about replicating the third quarter, the bombers had a big lead and could afford to take their foot off the gas

    played his 100th, now needs to go back to the vfl

    such a disappointment

    He’s certainly gone nowhere since 2021. Was bullish on him over Jordon and Bedford as he’s a better build but just hasn't done anything since flag.

    I tnink some tough decisions are needed

    Including with the captain, on being the captain

    Unfortunately we don't have anyone that looks like taking that position

    Bombers have racked up the second highest disposal count of any than this year. Well done lads 🤬

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
