Now watching the storm about to kick off. A coach that knows how to coach & a team that knows how to play & win.

But will be keeping an eye on the west coast game

    The reason North looked amazing against us is that we apply absolutely zero pressure. No physicality, no desire from us since round 1.

    All Carlton had to do today was be a little harder...put a few goals on north and their very attacking mids drop their heads. They don't work two ways.

    We didn't even try to test them - we are so so so slow, lethargic, one dimensional and gassed that it genuinely provides energy to the other team

    Yep. We were either as fumbly or worse than they were, looked slower and our pressure just looked horrible. They weren’t good, we were REALLY awful

    A shame West coast couldn't go on with it. Yes I know that would mean us being on the bottom.

    But what happened to draper?

    Essendon already lost 1 ruckman last week

    Bombers paid a mark for what we weren't last week, then also a fiddy. Of course.

    Best recent decision by the Pies was to trade out Jack 'my shorts are too big because I've got a little *&(#@) Ginnivan. They woke up to the nightmare before most footy followers. Wouldn't mind betting Sidey and Pendles had their fingerprints all of that.

    I’d love the tea on that trade. There’s got to be a reason they were so happy to get rid of him

    Not really sure why there is buzz around LDU from North, maybe had a bad game but I only watched a little and the 4 or 5 instances where he was involved he made a meal of each one. Just looked selfish, but maybe that’s as a result of the losses stacking up and forcing you to think you have to do it yourself.

    Lots of despair on X tonight from North supporters. I know our season is [censored] but thank God we had some recent success.

    This is a big part of it.

    Goodwin called it out this week.

    It's almost my sole focus tomorrow. If we're not "on", and early, that will say a lot IMO.

    Loved Hunt’s pressure in the last couple of minutes.

    Miss that headband. Had to confirm it was him

    Expecting more from H Reid. Looked like he wasn't in the centre for that final bounce.

    Entertaining game between two cellar dwellers

    Well I guess we can cross West Coast over there in round 8 off the winnable list based on tonight.

    So now it’s down to Richmond, North and West Coast at Marvel.

    • 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.
