Melbourne v Greater Western Sydney 9 Finn Callaghan (GWS) 6 Lachie Whitfield (GWS) 6 James Peatling (GWS) 5 Tom Green (GWS) 2 Brent Daniels (GWS) 1 Clayton Oliver (MELB) 1 Toby Greene (GWS) Kingsley. Give the Dees players more credit. Goodwin. Please!!! Surely you’re joking. Only Clarry deserved a single vote. And no one else? Rivers. May. McVee. Any of these could have got votes. Dees lost by 2 points. It was a nail biter !!! Could have been a Demons victory if ... well so many ifs. This coaches system is flawed. So many biased votes being given by coaches, except for our Goody!!!

Please discuss this

@Redleg giants players moving on the mark was very frustrating. I called it a few times and was amazed we didn’t get a few 50s our way

Agree. Noah Yze would probably be a rookie listed father son pick. Has good AFL quality and had that competitive edge.

That was the point. May on Riccardi. Why? Hogan is their main key forward. It was a mistake to put Tmcd on Hogan, and it was one of the reasons that we lost the game.

Ash caught. Green caught. Idun caught. All had prior opportunity and the umps put their whistle away. 🤬🤬🤬

Isaac Cumming as a free agent. I’d throw a 5 year deal at him. Keep the draft picks. It’s a very strong draft this year.

Yes I know and have posted how good Clarry was last night. Real signs of his prior self, winning contested footy. But the last quarter, Giants won Centre clearance 8-0. That last bounce was crucial and there was a disconnect between Gawn and the mids.

@binman to discuss this week. I’m sure the coaches are working on WHY WE ARE GETTING KILLED IN CLEARANCES. Ps. It’s not because Gawn was missing. Poor setup. Midfield coach might need to be sacked.

Really like the composure of McVee and Moniz-Wakefield. Lever and Tmcd made me nervous all night. Like they are thinking in slow motion. 6 McVee - composed and reliable 5 Langdon - runs and runs and runs 4 Rivers - great start and kept competing (plus put Bedford in his box ) 3 Viney - huge heart - great goal in 3rd but stupid free also given away - kept fighting it out 2 Oliver- seeing signs of his prior self Needs a big preseason 1 May - gives 100% always contests hard and kicks clear the defensive zone minus 5 Goodwin - too slow to realise Callaghan is a good player. Too slow to put May on Hogan. He left Tmcd on Hogan, who was out marking Tmcd for fun !!! minus 5. Bailey Fritsch. Laziest player on the team. Really lazy. Didn’t man up and doesn’t want to chase at all. Really needs someone to call him out. Memo to@binman

It was obvious how we cleared out the space … then Tom Green knew it and CLARRY WAS ASLEEP. Clarry not the contested player that he was. Green beat him to the footy on many occasions.

Umps killed us more to come

Langdon. 👏👏👏 Kozzzzzy. 👏👏👏

Chandler. Chandler. 👏👏👏 MonizWakefield 👏👏👏

Lever. 55 metre out. Kick its back 60 metres wtf

Hogan. Goal. Goal. Goody. Perhaps May on Hogan. Too late !! Tom McDonald. Retire now.

Eagles. Stoppages. Getting contested footy. Wow. That’s the key versus Freo. Memo to Dees coaches. Watch that first half by the lowly eagles.

Hogan.

Viney. Big heart… but clearly too high. Greene free. Greene goal.

Goody. Goody. Goody. Wake up.

Kozzzy. Please !!!

Billings. Sub him out.

Rivers ⭐️⭐️🌟🌟🌟

Dami Im????

Preparation… ?!?!?!!!?! Simon Goodwin will coach the Dees versus the GWS Giants on Saturday night despite spending the past three nights in hospital. Goodwin copped an infection at the start of the week that required an intermittent IV drip. He was part of team meetings via Zoom during the week and discharged on Saturday morning.
