But Rowell not forced off for a HIA check

Which will help his cause, but that is textbook dangerous tackle. He did exactly what you’re not supposed to do and slam him into the ground and his head hits the turf.

Hopefully he gets off or maybe just one week.

    I would love to be proved wrong, but it's nearly time to acknowledge that:

    1. Drafting Tholstrup was a mistake.

    2. Neither JVR nor Jefferson will ever become the dominant key forward we desperately need.

    Why does Trac snap for goal from 30 when he is the worst snap in our team?

    Just handball it off Trac.

    momentum killer

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

    It has been but it was matched only by our lack of it in the first.

    Good to see a fightback when the game was almost over.

    I do wonder why in so many games this year we have been caught napping in the start.

    Game prep not up to par.

    How does Max play as a lone ruckman for the reminder of the game?

    God help the coaches if he gets injured.

    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.

    Max is a fantastic leader of our club. He has been forced to bunker down for our club when the 💩 was hitting the fan. Still is and will always be doing so.

    If Max is your point of reference for that first quarter, I suggest you look to others.

    So the two main themes by the majority on here were

    Petty is a disgrace and should be dropped

    Bring in Jefferson he is dominating at Casey

    Should we start a poll on who to bag for the upcoming week?

    Max has improved his goal kicking which leaves Tracc with the title of the teams worst shot at goal. In all areas. Lucky we don't play him fwd too often.

    He was also captain the entire time we’ve been good, and I don’t think we have a slow start problem as much as a not very good problem.

    We get caught out early as times because we’re slow and unathletic, leadership can’t fix that

    Didn’t think his head hit the ground but watch this space

    Rowell and Miller have DOUBLE the disposal efficiency of Trac

    not just kicking efficiency, handballing as well

    He has gone backwards

    Replay showed his head bounces off the ground.

    I hope he doesn’t get suspended of course, but I’d be shocked if it doesn’t get looked at


    2nd

    👍🏻kozzzy at the footy

    👍🏻Melksham goals

    👍🏻Viney inside contest

    👍🏻big Maxy battling

    ☠️umps are killing us Frees 15-9 (7-7 in 2nd)

    ☠️Trac airball from 25 metrs out after great team run and handball

    ☠️Salem is lost and is too slow

    inside 50s 10-10 in 2nd qtr

    Team HAS THE STOP THE GRASS GUARDING - noble and Rioli have time to dissect it and hit targets !

    Jeffo looks lost - watching it live and he’s not instinctive - just reactive to the kick - needs the aggro pills desperately

    It looked aggressive when the rest of the team were extremely passive.

    it’s 100% a suspension for Viney

    1 week if no concussion

    3 if concussion

    loved his aggression but when overboard

    I agree with point two, not one. Tholstrup shows signs of being quite good, but the other two you mentioned just can’t figure it out.

    These guys are not fit enough

    Whatever the fitness program is, it’s not nearly good enough

    We need a new Fitness Team as well as many other things!

    I love him too, but people are too easy on Gawn as a leader. They're much happier to criticise Petracca or Oliver or Goodwin (who of course all should bear the responsibility too). Gawn is such a good bloke and great player that it's not possible for most people to actually consider that he isn't perfect, especially as an on-field leader.

    That's a great look, Chaplin talking to the forwards & fritta sitting there yawning playing with his hair

    If ever a senior player needed to be dropped to Casey and made to the earn a recall…

    Gawn is not perfect Chook. 3 goals 13 behinds this year says it so.

    But, he is damn good/great

    • 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 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.
