Playing Games with the Hand Brake on is always going to make disposal look bad.

The handbrake did not come on until the last 1/3 of the year and our disposal was improving over that period.

We were unhindered other times the way we perpetually butchered the ball.

    all in all i personally had a great day at the game today. The last 5 goals by the saints was disappointing, but the boys were probably getting tired, long year and all. The crowd was really good i thought, the chants of 'robbo' and 'wheatley' were awesome, and hearing the grand old flag first by the crowd, then played by the mcg was great. Goodbye to some champions, and looking forwards to a bright future. Robbo looking around the G for the last time in the last quarter was depressing though...

    Sure, i am not saying a lot of work does not need to be done.

    As i said elsewhere the Up Coming Pre season will be critical to the future, but this year was all about 4 wins & gaining experience so i do not think it is a true guide. This is why i call it phase 2 from now on..The Coaching style will change.

    Agreed.

    It was a really positive way to finish the season, even if we are the wooden spooners.

    I compare it to how I felt this time last year, being demolished by Richmond, and there really is no comparison.

    What a fantastic farewell for Robbo, Whelan and Wheatley, three fantastic guys who have made a big mark on the MFC.

    Well said chooka, I had a really enjoyable day taday to watch the boys send off their brothers. Relaxing recently since the club showed it was Not going to shoot itself in the foot. So I for one have been able to enjoy the games rather than worry about losing the extra top pick.

    Thankyou to Robbo, Wheels, & Wheaters for their dedication to our club & entertaining us supporters over the journey, & giving us some highs & hope.

    Agree about Phase 2 - it's a totally different game from now on. The main limiting factor will be injuries.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
