    Sounds like most were pretty good. Most players got a good review, so you must be happy with the performance.

    You know we actuality lost to one of the worst teams of the last few years?

    Very harsh on Green.

    Was muuch more effective than Howe and kept presenting.

    Could have been the difference had he started.

    Missed two crucial goals and if you look at his recent form was lucky to be a sub. Tiges sub did more.

    Difficult angles and went close.

    Now Bartrams from dead in front??

    Morton - soft as butter - Now that is downgrading butter. I would much rather play with one short......plays with no heart, I think the only reason we play him is to try and improve his value...I cringe everytime he goes near the ball.....were you people at the same match I was at???

    I'm no Morton fan but I thought he played OK yesterday, he hit targets, he seems to have sorted out his short kicking, a couple of passes inside 50m were the best I've seen him kick the footy over 25m since coming to the club and this has been his big issue. Defensively still needs work and he needs to continue to work on his attack of the footy but we was good yesterday.

    needs to continue to work on his attack of the footy

    He's not alone. I'm tired of watching most of our players waiting for the opposition to take possession and opting for the tackle, rather than making the ball their first priority.

    morton needs to spend all summer in the gym. he has been in the afl system for a few years now and has the body of a 17 year old.

    He doesn't need to turn into a bull a la' Tapscott, but he could do with putting on some KG's and general thickness to his torso. Then we may see a change of "hardness".

    Could have been the difference had he started.

    Could have been the difference if he kicked straight.

    For a captain to be the sub. It tells the story.

    Difficult angles and went close.

    Now Bartrams from dead in front??

    As an impact player he had little. Cant win the contested ball and the two opportunities he had he should have nailed at least one of them. The first shot in particular was on a 60 degree angle at 45 metres on his preferred kicking side. He poked at it. The other goal was gettable but he did not even go close. As Captain who has had little impact on the game he needed to make a mark, a statement. Another instance of the leadership. His set shots for goals this year has been deplorable. A most overrated kick.

    Bartram's shot was at the same position to Green's first shot on the other foot. Sure he missed but it was the only black mark when Bartram had subdued Cotchin for most of the game.

    Some people will never be happy with Morton, his skills were good yesterday, maybe a couple of errors but in todays footy every player has them. He does need to get bigger but it will happen. Another preseason under his belt will help. He beat his opponent yesterday, even though it was another Morton!

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
