Is it me just me, or do our players get comfortable after a win at home??? We are absolutely shocking when interstate, and we aren't much better back in Victoria most of the time. I understand we are developing a young team, but we are so bloody inconsistent and it's the more senior players that constantly let us down.

But yeah, we really need to lift, and for those who think, we are young what do you expect, i at least expect all 22 players to give it their all. We just drop our heads so quickly when we are down and with no momentum, we barely give a yelp.

Essendon are pathetic, but we are RIGHT UP THERE too.

Holey moley why not go man on man and see how we go for a 10 minutes or so....

Bartram's been ok. Somebody needs to tell the team that Jurrah isn't going to take hangers all day long and a kick to a lead is a better option

The last two weeks, Garland has turned the ball over a couple of times in the first quarter. Most of the time, these turnovers have resulted in goals. He has to get better at this. I love him, but he's had a very ordinary start.

Why is Green playing midfield? He kicked 5 goals last week, dominated as a forward, has 36 goals for the year, and we start him on a wing/half-back. Not happy with that.

Also not happy with the loose man in defence. Why did we drop Morton to work on aggression and defensive work if we're going to give him the easiest job in football (loose man in defence)? It's not having an infleunce on the game; in fact it's hurting us as McPharlin is loose for Freo and he's mopping up our inside 50s.

Ugh. I love this club, but some days I hate this team.

This [censored] is ridiculous. There is developing young teams, and there is watching a team come out not ready to play. We are asleep out there, giving away DUMB free kicks, our disposal is disgusting and we are just completely lost for ideas.

And when will our senior players stands up when we need them? Bruce, Green, Rivers, Moloney, all terrible or not seen this quarter.

Thank god for Scully. He is having a nice start!

I dare Bailey to play man on man football for a quarter and see the difference. And get rid of the loose man in defense, its clearly not doing us any good whatsoever.

Agree with green needing to be back in the forward line, why he's not up there i'll never know.

and people here reckon our midfield is okay now ? Don't kid yourselves, we still need a higher quality because Scully and Trengove wont be able to do it themselves. A much higher skill level is required.

In inheriting Robertson's 24 he's also inherited some of Robbo's lesser qualities. A little too selfish IMO at the moment.

Get your hand off it, it's his second game. there are a lot worse out there!!!!!!!!

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
