Watts was having a decent game up until this last quarter but his efforts or lack thereof have all but cancelled it out.

Three decent enough quarters is an improvement though.

We desperately need some crumbers. I don't understand why we never have anyone loose around the packs.

Fitness is also a big issue I feel. We simply can't run games out. This will improve.

He can still do the positives on a less bulky player -- Cloke will eat him.

But he's not playing on Cloke today is he?

I think Rivers has won that battle so what else do you want?!

Looking for positives, we did stay in it for three quarters which is two more than our best so far this year.

Lack of fitness has again killed us....hopefully won't next year.

Boy I'd like to single out many MFC players right now for being absolutely pathetic today.

I will refrain from it.

I will say tho that Nathan Jones runs his guts out.

Really disappointing end to the game. We really had a decent crack today. But our pathetic fitness levels and our generally poor skills ate us up late.

We will not be competitive against decent clubs if we can't run out games, and right now, we are hardly running out three quarters, let alone four. It's so disappointing.

Thought Bail responded fantastically, especially early. Clark and Jones again led the way for endeavour. Blease and Nicholson seemed to relish their chances. But there is still a lot of crap (Sellar is the slowest player I have ever seen).

I think it was frustrating right from the start. Carlton are a shadow of the team they were at the start of the year. That blow out was always going to happen. This team has no clue how to win.

Can't say any one player is more deserving to be dropped than anyone else. But Moloney is done. He has lost so much confidence and just...boom. Isn't that why we call him "Beamer".?

We were significantly better. We play a game style that requires a lot of very hard running. Unfortunately we are nowhere near fit enough to play this style ...... yet.

I thought our pressure was good and we stayed with Carlton for 3 quarters despite not winning any clearances and losing the contested possession pretty badly.

    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

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
