    How was that not deliberate out of bounds in our forward pocket near the end of the quarter? The Dogs played literally placed the ball over the like like in fear of further contact. The umpire was right in front of him and didn't call it. Petty rightly pointed at the ump and let him know. There's been a few disgracefully one sided and incorrect umpiring calls in that second quarter. I hope the club hits the AFL with a please explain.

    How can you literally walk the ball over the line like you’re scoring a try and get away with it, yet you kick it 50m and a leg break over the line is paid insufficient intent???? Absolutely comical and it happens all the time.

    Four marks including two contested is pretty good. I reckon he’s having a good game today. Floating down back and then presenting at half back as the outlet kick.

    He's also dropped 4 or 5 he'd usually take


    Typical MFC ‘almost’ game

    great play then a bad kick or handball

    so hard to watch

    So now you can just place the ball over the boundary in front of the umpire. Good to know.

    Go easy on that ump, was more than 2 meters away after all 🥴

    Tommy Mc keeping Darcy quiet has been huge. Will definitely get his due credit in the media.

    Not if we do it. If memory serves .

    Losing Gus, and Anb along with Langdon a shadow of his old self then add Oliver's sloppiness and Traccs failure to touch the ball.....this midfield is a rabble.

    Pit Cully and Chin and Bowey on there.

    Not like we may lose a clear win if we do.

    This caretaker coach is a puppet on Goody's strings.

    The sooner we get a brave coach, the better.

    Nice to see Fritta back to his old self.

    Rivers and KP playing very well.

    Turner too.

    We were pinned for one earlier in the year.

    New coach is playing a Roscoe Lyon defence, just need to score a few lucky ones, going our way.

    We can’t kick to forwards advantage when they are literally on their own.

    Culley looks the goods

    He'll be an exciting watch over the next 12 months. Could be anything. Can play anywhere.

    Just hanging in there but credit to everyone so far for putting in a big effort against classy opposition.

    Only first-half disappointment is Petracca's almost total lack of impact.

    The sooner TMac and Melksham get extensions for '26 the better.

    TMac has been very good on Darcy.

    Dogs look cleaner and move with purpose. We're doing a lot of kick and hope stuff. If Pickett doesn't get it through the middle then I don't see a meaningful kick into the 50. Frustrations boiled over when Melksham was on his own with about 10 metres on him and all that was needed was a dink kick over the top

    Petty has dropped a few bit as mentioned by others he is still giving us a target to kick to. JVR in the ruck too much and Max forward doesn't fill me with hope. Seasons cant end soon enough.

    Would help if he didn't fumble evertime he touches it !!!

    And Goodwin dropped TMac for about 6 weeks in which we could only manage one win in that time. How dumb was that to stuff our season?

    I dont usually go out of my way to support ex players but I can't help but admire what he's done. Really happy for him

    Defence has held up well. Adams doesn’t look amazing but has done a couple of nice things. Naughton and Darcy have three goals but none from actually impacting in the air. TMac should play next year.

    I was actually thinking when Rivers hit up JVR on the lead that I haven’t seen that from us in so long, but it’s been more of the same since then. Not a huge fan of Melksham giving the young guy a spray, but can definitely empathize with him.

    Should be way further behind TBH and that non deliberate on Busslinger is low key one of the worst decisions I’ve seen. You were right there!

    Hmm half time Petracca not worth a crumpet. Honestly if that is what we can expect for the future then let him go. He must be the worst player on the ground at half time.

    He has the stickest hands I have seen in a long while.

    How are the doom and bloomers coping with Naughton and Darcy not taring us apart?

    • 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?

      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.
