Make that 20-4, Sylvia gets another free. 25 touches, 7 marks, 6 tackles, 3 frees for, 2 goals.

He won't be A grade, he'll be elite

 

THREE QUARTER TIME

Brisbane 7.6.48

Melbourne 10.8.68

Sylvia still on fire

Worst scoring qtr for a while. 1.3.9 to 3.1.19 We are in desperate need of a key forward!!
 

The key with Sylvia playing well midfielder not forward

We just need to get it together and break even in the last. Of course, going on the attack and running away to win by 40 would be good. We need to run them into the ground. They have injured players, so there's less bench to use. Make them work harder and they'll wilt.

Bah! Give me a dynamic, pressure set-up any day. That's where it's at.

EDIT: Let's not forget we're on the road, with a draw up our sleeves, needing to win three or more out of the next five. How much we win by is irrelevant, IMO.

DOUBLE EDIT: Colin Sylvia, AKA "The one thing Yze_Magic was ever right about."

When was the last time you didn't go "hang on, who is Frawley playing on?"

Chip dominating a clearly injured Brown.

Not a great quarter but we stood firm against their run. With 2 on the bench we should run this game out. But what we should do and what we will do is a very different story.

We are better when watts and bennel dont have the ball!

Mitch Clark shanks it.

Brisbane 7.7.49

Melbourne 10.8.68

Not true. Watts has had one of his best games tonight, but Bennell's had a bad one.

Chips (on Brown)doing well to but more defensive, the other are a bit more attacking


Mitch Clark had two opportunities to make it interesting

That's why Bartram's a defender, kick from 50 is out on the full :P

Well, at least we're not kicking like Sydney


22 scoring shots each, Geelong by 70

Brown kicks his second

Brisbane 8.8.56

Melbourne 10.8.68

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • 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.
