At least he is having a go. That free kick against him in the goal square was bs. Good to see he showed some desperation.

My comment wasn't in relation to that incident, otherwise you may have been justified.

I disagree, and so does the scoreboard. For my money low scores generally reflect hard work, and poor skill execution.

Tackle count Carlton 44, MFC 22.

Nine MFC players have not laid a tackle in the first half....Hmmmmm

Moloney only 8 possessions so far....

MFC are trying to lock the game down.

Did anyone see Yarren (dont know if I spelt that right) and some one else from Carlton (I think Betts) not go hard at the contest like Davey last week? Very soft.

sure did, and [censored] myself laughing, only problem is they are getting a bit of it

I know you didnt mean that incident but I was speaking generally that he is having a go. I think the team is better with him down there as it frees up Chip.

Yes I saw it also can't remember who It was wasn't quite as bad as davey

but similar!

What I did see was McLean coming to the bench and rivers coming on ran straight

to him and said something in his ear with a smile on his face.

Well I wouldn't have a clue, I won't get a chance to watch tonight.

He said something about us not working hard enough for each other while the ball is locked in Carltons forward 50.

Would love it if the Dees came out after half time and ran over the top of the blues similar to what the hawks did to us. I know I am dreaming but whats life without dreams!

Peoples thoughts on bests and worsts at present?

Good - Frawley and Rivers have tried hard (Jones too but a lot of clangers).

Bad - our leaders have gone missing again

Wont say much else - Blue are down to two on the bench... you never know.

Apart from Greens horrid fresh airy hes been good, Chip & Riv good, when Riv kicks a goal he must be up and about, nicholson gone at it early. Judd is seriously got to be the afl best at the minute.

Tom Harley has just said on Fox (about our game plan) that the Dees are trying to get the ball back in the defensive half. He also said that NO OTHER TEAM has this type of game plan.

FFS i am sick of the same thing week in week out being said about our team. For the love of god get a new game plan/coach.

It looks like 2008/09 all over again.

Agreed with your stats RR, but I do believe the boys are working very hard. It is lack of skill and a better level of skill from the blues that is getting the better of us, but that is no refletion on effort.

    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

    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
