How is Van Rooyen getting a game when we need to try and get games into other key forwards? Zero football IQ

Coz he is the messiah, he will NOT make it, play Jeffo and Kentfield next week please!

    The problems are all bare to see. The playing group asked to more attacking, fine that is the modern game. But with our skills we are turnover merchants. The entire team bare 1 or 2 players sometimes.

    No defensive unit on earth can hold up to teams that are effective at scores from turnovers.

    How on earth did Goodwin think we were close? Its a good thing he is no longer around as we would be digging a deeper whole that will be difficult to get out of.

    We need to goto cash converters and see what we can get for our old midfield. I here Trac has some connections.

    Because Howes needs the game time. Pretty hard task to play on a red hot Gunston who is getting silver service.

    McDonald had no real match up. He would get killed for speed by Gunston as seen with May who is quicker.

    Agree he needs game time but id argue Sharp or sparrow could’ve been subbed. I have never thought Howes should be played as a ‘key’ defender - wasn’t he drafted as a wingman/half forward?

    Jeffo is even worse - he’s a wimp also.

    I agree but we obviously wanted the run. Hawks killed us on the spread.

    Howes IMO should be a winger. He has great skills.

    Skill levels are embarrassing. Simple marks dropped, panic handballs, one arm pathetic tackles, hoofs up the line, not tracking opponents at throw-ins….

    Some of the kids atrocious - jvr, howes, sparrow, sharp absolute garbage.

    JVR is a total bust - he’s not going to make it because he’s a wimp. His dropped mark when no-one near him for 10m sums him up.

    This team needs rebuilt - it’s done.

    I remember Goodwin once saying in 2022 that he simply wasn't ready. He was a better player when he eventually debuted in 2023, than he is now.

    May now looks like an old man trying to play a young man 's game.

    Sad to see.

    What is he doing so far off his man?

    Van rooyen marked & kicked a goal. Only took to the 4th quarter

    He's a 'heat out of the contest' specialist

    Chandler doesn't do anything. He's had two bad misses today (one of them bounced in for a goal completely unpredictably)

    When the heat is on he is a [censored] player. Just scrambles like a silly person, like a dog chasing his own tail.

    Bring on the hate. I'll die on the hill with this opinion. To me the dees faithful are clueless. Very few folks switched on to what a 'good player' actually means.

    I've never been a fan, he goes missing too much. I prefer if we tried others

    You’re right, it’s just a shame sparrow and Sharp aren’t providing any run 😂

    Howes should definitely be up the ground

    Langford has been poor.

    As a 19 year old he has an excuse

    Unlike most of the rest

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!
