I'm almost scared to play the youngens just because we have no game plan for them to follow. I know we don't really have any other option but it almost seems like we're going to 'ruin' them by bringing them into such a shamble that is the 'MFC style of play'.

Having said that, Robbo and Whelan should not play until their farewell game in Round 22 and if Bailey has any guts, he'll make this change.

Who ever you drop or select from Casey, we are only rearranging the chairs on the titanic.

Give it a rest, bit dramatic.

For the ship to sink this year we would need to be heading somewhere first, and this year is only about getting games into kids and we have dont that.

There is hope, god help you if you cannot see it.

Agree. There wasn't much on offer at Casey. Bartram, Dunn perhaps. I think Watts could go back. What is most disappointing is that Brisbane killed us and yet they thought they played poorly.

Explain?

Has not played a decent game for 10 weeks tonight he did play slightly better but he does not have a tackle or any defense in his body and just because he made one tackle tonight doesnt cut it and his kicking is sub par right now to timid in his decission making yet was not the worst tonight and will in the future be a good player not a super star everyone claims he will be, the morton brothers are about as similar as the houlihans wont produce the goods you all think yet there were some high paid players out there that seriously need to either put up or f off simple basicaly a discrace to see some guys at this club prentending to footballers and have the gall to be paid highly for it and only by default

The year is about improving. Are we better than last year ? and at the moment no ! Im just calling it as i see it.

Im happy with Davey, Sylvia and the youngsters ie Grimes and Frawley, but our seasoned campainers arn't producing their best : Brock, Jones, Moloney, Miller, Green etc

There are only three players I care to watch this year: Grimes, Watts and Jurrah.

The club can do as they please with the rest, just as long as these three are playing.

Morton will get nothing from playing with Casey. He needs, much like Watts, experience and muscle.

Hopefully Jamar is fit and ready to play, because PJ vs. Cox/Naitanui is going to be joke of the century.

That is if Cox plays.

I will hold back and just present you with some facts.

Good games in the last 10 weeks:

Adelaide: Round 5 - 28 touches.

Geelong: Round 6 - 26 touches, 1 goal.

West Coast: Round 7 - 34 touches, 16 marks.

Western Bulldogs: Round 8 - 37 touches.

SO YES, he has a 'decent' game in the last 10 weeks.

Before people go on about 'cheap' or 'uncontested' touches, if you play football you will know that to get these so called cheap touches you need to run bloody hard and all day to make space for yourself.

Let me also remind you he has played 32 games, and is 19 years of age.

Yes the last few weeks have been poor, but we have improved on last year. Mclean is injured, Jones I agree is not playing well atm, Moloney has had a better season, Miller agree is playing shocking and green has been really good this year.

Typical quoting stats look at the game and the turnovers more so come to a game in Melbourne and watch him live tv quoting doesnt rate with me, i go every week and have so for more years than i dare say you have been barracking for this club

he is left alone all the time by opposing clubs guess why einstein he turns over or his desission making is poor hence why i rate him like his brothers with the houlihans not much at all rose coloured glasses mate

Our whole midfield has definitely gone off the boil in recent weeks. I suspect Moloey may be feeling the pinch after not playing much footy over the last couple of years, and we all know Brock is struggling, as well as Jones. We need to bring some fresh players into the midfield this week to get a bit of spark back.

Can anyone tell me why Melbourne can't man-up? Are the players not fit? Are they playing a zone? Does nobody seem to care?

Clint i hate quoting espec after watching a game from tv but i feel some of these players just seem down right lazy people hate Bruce but he was up both ends all night as for some other players better not say might hurt some feelings if i do say what i really think but bails gunna need to chop some heads come season end and some home truths need to told to some very high profile players and they need to learn and fast

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
