This team of absolute [censored], have had the wood over us for years. Not just because they are supremely talented, but also because they treat us with such contempt and we let them. They know they c

Yes, I'm on a power trip - that's why I've been deleting and editing your posts, and banning you etc. Oh wait - I haven't done any of that. I always get a great belly laugh when people accuse me of

I don't buy the leg excuse. McKenzie has had about 2 weeks of pre- season and was on the bottom of every bloody pack. You either want to go hard, or you don't. Sadly, Davey is the only player in ou

Danny Frawley: "Jack Watts should have shepherded." Meanwhile, the TV replay shows him taking a Hawk out of the contest via a solid bump. Obviously he should have taken out both Hawks. Not sure how you do that, though. Criticism is fine, but make sure you know what you're talking about, Spud!

Watts has had about 5-6 posessions so far and has been involved at half forward

Yeah was gonna say Watts getting involved but still needs to go harder at the contest to impose himself and own the footy. Good signs that he's getting the footy though.

Watts doing well.

Howey is seriously a gun. Could be anything. Should be a high half forward. Amazing skills.

Our midfield is really lacking class and I really don't know where it's going to come from.

Any danger the ball might bounce our way? Better last 5-7 minutes. Hawthorn do take the nab cup more seriously than any other side but our lack of direction in the first part was woeful. Still unsure on bate, no right foot and isn't great in close. Clark looks good just need to get it to him one on one. Thought chip did well on buddy. Sad to see Bruce struggling so much.

Magners loss? Bigger than jurrah

Not even in the same league.

Jurrah a proven AFL gun who kicks bags, Magner a 24 year old yet to play a real match.

I hope he is alright, because he is good and can help us with his size and inside skills, but how quickly we forget what Jurrah can do.

yeah that confused me at one point i thought he said Clark should have and let Watts go into the open goal. Thought they did it well but it just bounced the other way.

Huge one would think. Not as big though.

As Jaded has said, we have no class in the middle, all we can rely on is the contested grunt work. Now one of the main planks in that plan has gone off with a compound fracture to his finger.

    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

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
