Cameron Bruce - pathetic dinky handballs that put his teammates under pressure. He does this every week, and has done nothing to rectify it.

Clint Bartram - continually gets caught holding the ball.

Brad Miller - the fact he has played all 10 games is an indictment on the MFC, and no wonder we are dead last. Fumbles, missed marks, poor kicks. He does it all.

Daniel Bell - shocking awareness, still hasnt taken any steps to improve that area. Been the same since day 1.

I can't fault Miller early on, the disposal to him was so far below par that it was embarrassing.

Missed a sitter of a mark with no pressure in the 1st quarter. So when the ball did get deliverd to him well, he failed miserably.

Also had the ball to himself on the boundary line, and fumbled it over the line with no pressure at all.

I thought you would be 'up and about' after today's game. You're usually there to pick over our carcass like a vulture. Your posts are so one dimensional it's hilarious! These guys weren't the only ones who sucked today. I thought we were going to lose when i saw our team on thursday. Some of the guys who were dropped was just plain baffling. Got no idea why Valenti was dropped for an Yze for instance. :blink:

I totally agree re: Bell and Bartram. Time for Bell to go IMO, I see no value in him at all. Hasn't improved much but is regularly played. Bartram at least puts his body on the line and tries to win some of the contested ball.

Disagree re: Miller. He isn't helped by shocking disposal inside 50 (or the sunlight)

I don't think you can pick out a couple from the herd. We have a very very ordinary bunch of footballers in general not just a couple.

If you took our best 22 and put it against 16 sides in the comp I could think of very few of our players getting a game, to highlight your pet hates is not helping YM.

Almost always chooses the wrong option to kick to, and when he does in fact choose the right option, his skills let him down and he misses the target. Still think he is one for the future though and I like his endeavour.

The awareness of our current playing crop is appalling.

This will, hopefully, develop with some experience and some more confidence.

Bailey was renowned at Port as a fantastic player developer. We have to hope that he can continue this at Melbourne.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
