I know Davis is not a great kick, which is a pity because I think he has some ability and can play at either end of the ground.

It will be interesting to see how the new coach evaluates him.

    Watch Davis at training R & B IMO he is no better then than on game day.

    Fair point -- I haven't been to training for longer than I care to admit ... :wacko:

    I think his contract is up this year Redleg for a player that will have been on the list for three years with a team that cannot beat time with a stick and still cannot get one game it does not look good.

    He will probably get little thought or attention.

    Sad but I think his gone!

    It has to be his farewell game against his old side.

    Not sure he is good enough to make the Casey side.

    I pray you are correct!

    Would like to see Taggart and Tynan get a run before the season ends. They both need the experience and the encouragement to strive harder.

    Broad is following in the family footsteps. His father chris broad, refused to leave the wicket after being given out, in a match in the mid eighties. Graham Gooch had to walk down the pitch and tell him to leave.

    Given the obvious dismissal, young Broad's performance was extremely poor. It is one thing on LBW's and disputed catches, to wait for the umpire, but when you know you are clearly out, you don't cheat. His performance was pathetic.

    Sadly it looks like the Poms will win this test, unless we bat brilliantly in the 2nd innings.

    We are being showed up today by a strong skilful great wet weather side at their home ground.

    Not playing Rodan in these conditions was a big mistake.

    Another Monday not much different to many over the last two years.

    Only 68 points on Saturday

    Two years ago 186 occurred to this day we still do not know the details.

    And whatever they were they may well be the root cause of where we sit today.

    It still amazes me that a group of players with way more ability than the current group could get beaten so badly.

    It's easy when you don't try.

    Not enough credit given to Mark Neeld for engineering such a dramatic turn around in form after the cataclysm that was 186.

    Perhaps we could forward a letter of thanks.

    Along with the cheque for pay out of his contract?

    Then he will be waiting for a year for his letter.

    Add Uni Black drew, kicked themselves out of it.

    But my old home town got up.

    God I am grasping at straws

    Oh well, we haven't lost in Dawin for at least a year.

    A couple weeks ago i thought we might have a chance against the Lions but they way they have played the last couple of weeks i would say we have no show

    Uni Blacks need a speedy midfielder ,who kicks himself out of it, like Dan Nicholson perhaps?

    Only fair really .

    I really hope we don't decimate the Casey side like we have for the last couple of years. They deserve some success for their efforts.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
