THROW HIM TO FF!

No chance.

White is a hopeless forward. Great kick, good mark, no idea where to lead.

He's better off floating across the forward line and taking marks.

It's been difficult for me to see many games this year (being in Sydney get to see Swans play on both free to air and Austar) but i've read a lot about Newton on this site. So far not impressed.

That's because he isn't playing up forward!

Was excellent last week, yet hasn't seen the goal square all night.

What has the forward line structure been? The radio isn't very informative in that regard.

Robbo and Davey key forwards, and we've taken something like 5 marks inside our forward 50.

Anyone shocked? :rolleyes:

McLean with 29 possessions. :D

You would have been if you saw him against Carlton and Essendon...Carlton in particular.

Newton was good last week and goon in his first game, this is his 3rd and the delivery into F50 is worse than terrible, and i dont even know what position he has been played in but has not been FF and that is where he should be played.

Another nice goal to flash

Sorry jaded i was more or less saying we have no FF at the moment so any one shousl go there!

Nice handball from Garland.

Godfrey was excellent too, punched the ball down back, and ran down to kick the goal.

Oh, and look, Newton finally in the forward line and he creates a contest from which we score.

 
Where has Newton been playing then? Wing? I heard that Garland was on the wing.

I saw him in the midfield, and a few forward flank cameos.

Great goal from Jonesy. What a champ!

P.S.- Pathetic umpiring tonight!


I have seen nothing in this game to make me think we are any chance of rebounding next year.

I expect to see soft, inept performances from some of those older we have on our list.

But what i really thought i would see, was the likes of Sylvia, Bate and Jones stepping up and taking their game to a new level. And with McLean, take leadership of the club.

Yeah a tall forward who made a contest, who would have thought!

Jones with a nice long goal, great work by davey, has really lifted and put his head down after a terrible start.

Good effort by Ward!

McLean and Jones have been very good.

McLean is the leading possession getter on the ground, which is a fair effort after 3 poor weeks.

Oh, and nice work from Bate and Sylvia to combine for the goal ;)

How good is CJ's disposal today? Doesn't get a heap of the ball, but he makes the possessions count.

I thought frawley would have rushed a behind, ward maybe should have slapped it through.

Sylvia kicks a goal. Good work from bate.

DAVEY WITH 4! really in a half, and should have kicked one in the start of the 3rd, pity he will miss next week :(


Our players have lost the plot tonight.

So many undisciplined frees given away, which is unacceptable, even from a young side.

Brock- 31 touches, 13 contested possessions, 1 goal. The champ is back! :D

CHOOKA WITH A GOAL! 13 contested and 31 i think they just said

good contest by ward and davey earlier

 
Chris Johnson perhaps done enough to earn a spot next round?

Why would you drop him?

Why is he always the first one in the gun?

Has done very well with his limited ground time and possession count.

No youngster deserves to get dropped while our injury list is so long. We have nothing to gain by dropping them.

The home-game experiment earnt us a lot of money, but not a lot of points. Good riddance Brisbane!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
