    Bad - Steve McBurney. The worst ump in the AFL. Hands down. Put your pocket protector back on and go join a chess club.

    How the heck did I forget that. Editing....

    Davey is the ugliest thing I have seen at Melbourne (performance wise) in my lifetime. (27yo) It is just sad They traded TJ but sadly don't think anyone will go near Davey. Howe was not great, falls over a lot and drop some asy marks. Will get better.

    Blease again was good. showing great signs. If Martin was fijian he would be the most exciting player in the comp! Trengove and Morton were great. morton's skills were very good. Sylvia was very good. Viney making moves, Garland Forward and Watts back. Would have liked to see it for longer. Bennell was good today. held Nahas well and I think he was more prepared to put his body on the line. I may have been wrong. Also Batram's job on Catchin was very good.

    Also ugly The Scully saga. Decision making was poor, knee obviously not great.

    I was at the game and whilst Morton got a fair bit of it he did waste it a few times and try to do too much (and I am a Morton believer).

    Davey was horrendous.

    Jones was great and the backline stood up under a ton of pressure.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • 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.
