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

    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 🤬

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
