I was at the game and he was burnt off on the lead a couple of times but was caught ball watching far too often to be playing on the best forward. Just way too loose. Should have been dragged late in the first for a rocket up the jacksie. I was sitting with a bunch of supporters from lots of different teams and everyone cringed ever time the ball came in. Barry should have kicked 5 in the first alone.

I thought Garland was always the better match up. Warnock losses his player too often playing up the ground like against Richo and the time Hall and Warnock were in a contest and then Warnock looked back to see what was behind him to give Hall the easiest of marks, he should have been at full back on O'Loughlin.

Still chances are he'll probably be one of a few to calm the great JB and/or Bradshaw. Going to a busy day down that end of the paddock me thinks.

I want Nathan Carroll back in the side.

I think he is unfairly done by and is one of our better players.

If the new-guard back line helps him I think he will be seen to have 'come good".I hope so.

He is a bread and butter backman and gets on the park far more often than Rivers.

"The 21 year-old was selected with the Club's first round selection in the 2007 Pre-Season draft"

In other words, he's a first year player.

Shouldn't you be discussing Winderlich's operation on Bomberblitz ?

It's amazing how supporters see things differently. I hope Carroll never plays for Melbourne again.

Agreed. In fact as bad as Frawley was last week, I'd rather see him out there than Carroll. I don't really see the logic in Carroll being named in the squad. And I hope we get the final team before tomorrow night's game, because if Carroll's playing, I'm loading up on Bradshaw to be the round's highest goalkicker.

I somewhat agree with you. At 27, I think he will be used by Melbourne in a serious trade for another draft pick. He is a ready made backman. Ideal for a Fremantle (W.A.).

We may get a 2nd round draft pick for him. With Garland and Warnock showing great signs down back and much younger and with Rivers, Bell. Our defence stocks are ok, with other young ones being developed.

Bails has told Predergast get me kids, kids and more kids. Youth is the way to go. Better to get something now at 27. Get another good kid into the system.

MFC wont be trading to fill holes, they will be trading for more poicks to replenish and turn over the list again, like last year.

Carroll can't get a gig in the 16th side, and he is a disruptive bogan off the field that can't help but get himself in trouble. His trade value is naught.

Whilst I don't think he has huge trade value, I still think there are teams who could use his talents.

Absolutely spot on Nasher. Particularly out West where the WA clubs are well versed in what Carroll is like and chose not to recruit him years ago.

He also has a poor reference profile amongst many of the Melbourne based AFL clubs.

His name was placed on the trade table by CAC last year and other Clubs sniggered.

If he is released by MFC at year end (I think his contract is up), he could try the PSD. But he should not have his hopes high.

But on a better front, I hope Stef Martin really makes the most of his opportunities.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
