How true it is. The first game when he's looked like he's given a genuine toss and we look infinitely better.

Saw the Jamar/Moloney connection for the first time for the season tonight, hope it's on the way back

Watts is going to be a superstar - having another great game. All of you who constantly bag him, get stuffed. Garland up forward is good too. I'm loving this game - c'mon Dees!!

The silence surrounding Sellar's improved showing is almost deafening; not to mention that of Morton.

doesn't the media make you want to vomit - we are in front at half time and Watts has a few touches, instantly they turn from labelling him a soft spud and a wasted no.1 pick to praising him, even though he had exactly the same game 2 weeks ago and nobody said boo

dheads

carn dees, look what a little effort and heart can do

Really? Don't think either has done so much that I'd be calling that yet... They haven't been bad, and Sellar's desperation has been good, but really don't think either has done enough yet that you can tell people to shut up about them

The TV commentary referred to a change in Neeld's game plan - players playing naturally - I didn't hear all of the comments - can anyone please explain? (I did, of course, see the play, but screen vision is limited.)

Excuse me? I was telling people to shut up? Hmmm.

you were saying how quiet everyone has been about them, and that's cos they haven't done that much yet

Sellar has been very reliable in defence and Morton, despite one mistake has been getting involved...take off the blinkers for Christ sake! And I would have thought the use of the words "silence is deafening" might have given away hat I was suggesting the opposite to shutting up.

Love how posters here pick out one moment and use it to say that player has been awful all game...

Sylvia has been ok, not good, but ok, the effort has been there at least and he's looking hungry for a change

OK, I'll give you a few examples.

Twice I counted he gave up on his man in our forward 50 and they went inside 50 as a result. Blazed away a few times too.

Lifted this half however.

No blinkers mate, both have made an effort, but hardly good enough to shut up the critics yet

Sorry, who was just talking up Morton....?

That goal was his fault, too soft and indecisive with the ball

Pop quiz... Who said the following:

"Love how posters here pick out one moment and use it to say that player has been awful all game..."

I wasn't suggesting any such thing...I was suggesting that those who are willing to criticism for the most innocuous of mistakes remain silent whenever they do something worthwhile.

haha fair enough mate, I'll cop that. Only said he cost us a goal though, didn't say he was having an awful game.

    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

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    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
