    Viney has lifted this quarter. He has been impressive

    I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t miss next week for that tackle of Rowell. Lucky Rowell has the head of a rock.

    Loved the review of the point. Clearly play on but a clear throw 1 m from our goals

    Yep very poor!


    Regardless of the first quarter, going to be uphill with 2 men down, especially as one was our back-up ruck.

    I soiled myself a few times in that opening quarter.

    No matter what the outcome that first quarter lack of effort was totally inexcusable. We basically threw the game away then.

    He’s just a horrendous ball user, for someone so powerful he should be a weapon with baulks and changes of direction, not to mention taking tacklers on to release to free opponents.

    If he doesn’t have a straight line to goal he’s practically useless

    you can cancel out the first quarter. No one was getting a possession in the forward line

    Gonna be annoyed when Max Gawn trots out the old "We can't be giving up 6 goal starts to teams," line again after this game. No s-- Sherlock. As captain what are you doing about it?

    Trying is heart out, as usual….. 🤔

    But Rowell not forced off for a HIA check

    Good quarter.

    Shame we were sound asleep in the first.

    The umps were not as heavy on the whistle and it showed.

    Actually missed a few opportunities with Tracca burning a few but he was good on other areas.

    Well down in marks but at least we showed some intent finally.

    Need more from Fritta and Sparrow.

    Really getting tired of the same script every week. If it isn’t inaccuracy, it is slow starts that eventually kills us.

    Slow starts against St Kilda, Essendon, Geelong cost us the eventual match after trying extra hard to get back into the contest. Looking like another slow start will cost us again today.

    Such a frustrating “nearly” season. Could have been top 4 best case scenario.

    A decent quater from Melbourne work rate wise and some in-roads made.

    I could have and probably should be another goal or two better though. If you're one of those people than gives us a pass and bemoans bad luck then more power to you. Salem's pass then Melksham wasn't quite able to mark, Trac's brilliant intercept followed up by kicking it 2 metres into the man in front of him, good teams don't do these things on a regular basis.

    You need to create your own luck in this game. Instead of Clarry sitting on King's back in defensive 50 and whinging about it you need to be first to the ball so some spud from the other team can make that mistake.

    Probably not skilled enough to mount a serious challenge today but might see some good stuff if we stick with the process and attack the middle.

    And what's he doing before the game to motivate his team to switch on? What's he doing during the week. We all love Max but he has been captain the entire time we've nosedived since 2023. "Trying his heart out" is for followers, not leaders.

    Viney being a difference maker when he’s all but shot as a player is an indictment on our midfield group. Especially Oliver.

    Same for Melk forward really. Although they’ve hardly had a chance.

    Gold Coast's pressure has been elite the whole game. Hopefully they have a bit of a drop off.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • 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?
