i thought jmac was a bit of a negative, so many cheap free kicks, resulting in goals, turnovers in the back 50 and not enough defensive pressure

Positive: NO INJURIES

Bingo...

And gOLLy... Jones was listed as our best player in all reports I have seen. He's hard at it and I suspect he lived up to that this weekend.

Spencer as a positive??? He must have had 2 of the best touches ever seen!

Oh and careful what you say about Steffi Martin, mate!! He's my hopeful SuperCoach pickup of the year!! :)

They were very soft free kicks. Ump should have just kicked for them. Had real mongrel and had a dip against his old side. His hit on Black (i think) was a ripper.

Positives: Jetta, Maric, Tapscott's right foot, Howe's hanger and Petterd.

Negatives: No one in the forward line too often, Bate, Watts not going hard enough, lack of quality second ruck options (Martin is ahead of Spencer), inability to tackle and too much hand passing to stationary players.

While Spence was on the ground didn't see him lose one ruck contest. His effort backing back into the pack front on was a real sight to behold. Pure guts for a praccy match.

Yes tackleing was a negative and too flat footedness <-----new word ?

It was a great Sunny day to catchup with freinds, and have a good discussion on footy, & some fun...

It didn't rain, and we got through pretty well without losing any Key personnel. Frawley will be back soon enough, and we look pretty healthy.

Some of our boys that have had limited preseasons, got a run around. Good to see Gysberts on the park. Good to see Tappy showing some goood stuff.

And how good is it to see both, Nifty Nev Jetta, and Maric Magic, in career best form.

Positives:

Not much can be gained from Saturday, if much at all.

The Hawks game will be a pointer towards having further concerns.

Just cannot judge from Saturday.

Geelong lost to Port by nearly 15 goals....what does that mean? Probably the same as the tripe at Royal Pde that was dished up, nothing much.

We play Lions in Round 3 - only 6 weeks away and if the same eventuates, PANIC!

Rememeber this time last year: Jurrah out for 16 weeks?

Count our blessings - we had a seconds team in. Those not in didn't need to show anything to the coach IMO

Had literally half a side in so I won't be taking anything from this game.

You can't be serious?? He was 30 seconds late to a training session and you have trashed his career?? Good grief.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
