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.

    What is Salem these days he can't defend and doesn't attack from half back. He is symbolic of the fall of our team

    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?

     

    Goodwin needs to drop himself. This is dire.

    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

    Just now, whatwhat say what said:

    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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
