Can you tell Watts' starting position? Half forward?

Sounds to me like he's playing miles out of the forward line. On the times he takes a grab (and don't the callers get excited) you always hear he's 2 kicks from goal.

let try something different... put rivers or someone else in the FL...

Frawley? Or do we need him in defence?

PJ.. what a joke... get rid of him

I'm his biggest supporter. And even I say he's cooked here. This is exactly when he could have shown what he's worth. Not that he's had a huge amount of opportunity. But against this mob? He SHOULD have taken some sort of grab by now.

3/4 time, and we're 2 goals down.

Those first two to Kennedy are looking a bit nasty now, aren't they?

Moloney, Bruce, Garland, McKenzie, Frawley, Rivers, Jamar, and especially Grimes and JMac have been very good.

But we have a LOT of passengers.

Bennell, PJ, and particularly Sylvia have been not so good. In general though, our forward line are a mess. There's ok names in there, who are all doing enough (Green, Watts, Hughes all showing a bit here and there).... but no-one good enough to take the game by the scruff of the neck.

Bate exempt cos of his injury. Also, he's somehow playing ok.

The difference between this team and the one we've liked watching this year is actually the midfield. Scully and Trengove aren't doing as much as in previous weeks, which is completely understandable.

Watts has been playing between the 50s - started on Glass in the f50 early, but Bails moved him quickly for no reason.. a shocking coaching performance from Bailey today.

we look tired.

LeCras will kick this second attempt and does...

We are a rabble.

Worst we've looked since the Hawks game. And we're not a HUGE amount ahead of that.

What an appalling game of footy. That's the worst part. We weren't outmuscled, or outplayed...

We were just shitter than a REALLY [censored] team.

15.21 kicked for the game.

Amateur hour.

Bate has been atrocious this quarter, pity, he's been ok up to now

Give him a break. He's been one of our best today, and that's with a bung ankle. Him and Green are just about our only forwards. As an aside, how clean are Watts' hands? It's a shame he's got a bit of Bruce about his kicking action. I hope that was just nerves, but I'm a little worried about that.

    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

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
