The Good

Jones. Again.

The crowd booing Scully. And thanks guys who were brave enough to bring banners. Well done.

Our short kicking/passing.

Dunn's torpedo from full back.

A new, developing defensive back six including Frawley, Watts, McDonald, Sellar, Dunn who all played through there and it looked strong

Rivers and Garland forward

The crowd booing Scully

Clark's attack on the ball.

Nicholson. I have had a number of goes at him this year for his disposal but he is quickly proving me wrong.

Watts contested marking.

Grimes' run and carry. And his kicking is improving.

Did I mention the crowd booing Scully?

The Bad

Jones' two brain-fades in the first quarter.

That first oh-so-easy goal to GWS.

Some of Tom McDonald's fumbling.

Allowing GWS midfielders to sprint away from stoppages in the 1st quarter.

Clark injured again.

The Ugly

The crowd. Although I did not expect any more than 20,000

Seeing Junior in a GWS jumper. This remains a real sore point for me.

Good: Dunn's chase down and resulting free.

Yes, that was an absolute cracker. Dunn showed a bit today.

Im Tom McDonald biggest critic, but the kid tore it up today.

He adds A LOT of run, looks a real player, dominated Cameron to the point where

Sheedy had to throw him down back to stop the flow.

The Good

The fact that we smashed them after that slow start

A certain ex-player may well thank God that he got money because he got a taste of how far away success is for him

The Bad

Mitch the Incredible's early exit... Was Buddy like early on

The Ugly

Our obvious instruction to play on at all costs through the middle... Sometimes you are better off to settle and lift your eyes

Good:

Dunny was surprisingly good across the whole game today. Watching him closely in one-out marking contests, he is veeery clever with his body position. Might have promoted himself off the sub bench for a few games.

Clarky - superb before the injury.

Wattsy, Jonesy, Riv, T.Macca, Nicho.

Scoring 7 goals from former defenders - Rivers and Garlo.

Bad:

Moloney today.

Ugly:

The Hare Krisha gits in the GWS squad. Must be paid handsomely by Vlad to wear that kind of crap.

And Sheedy - the main reason I replied to this thread in the first place, then forgot to include the Master P_ick in the first reply.A real ugly moron.

Good

The goal by Blease on his left foot on the run on the boundary line.

Run from Tom McD out of defence.

Having Rivers, Clarke, Garland and Howe as marking options forward.

Bad

Missed marks and targets from Grimes

Ugly

Dominance from Russian with takeways by GWS?

Sylvia running into goal not spotting up Davey and missing his shot.

the ugly - sam blease's tackle on the members side, spun the guy at least 540, possibly more and still didnt get holding the ball. not sure what we have to do to get a holding the ball.

But wasn't it a great tackle?!

He's a fearless little goer the little fella, can't wait for him to have Viney pumping handballs to him for the next decade.

And he is refreshingly arrogant with what he tries to do on the field.

Why has more not been made of this? That goal was an absolute screamer!

Because he didn't mean to do it, and from the sheepish look on his face I think similar decisions to go for goal have landed him in hot water in recent games...

Still an ace goal.

Still an ace goal.

One commentator reckoned he was trying to centre the kick.........as a 1 eyed Dee fan I reckon he kicked for goal.

Fair call - I obviously wasn't watching that closely. I thought he was in space and had a ping. Hahaha - I'd be saying 'meant it'

And when Magner outbodied whoever it was and was waltzing in to goal, pinged for in the back.

Blatantly wrong.

Ugly: Four of their five first quarter goals came directly from our poor skills. If we hadn't made those crappy turnovers for no apparent reason it would have been a truly spectacular mauling.

The turnover rate seemed a bit lower yesterday. No Cales fails.

The Good

We won a game we should have won

The Bad

First 15mins of the game, we were woeful.

The Ugly

Brent Moloney, what is going on with you, I had you pencilled in for 3 Brownlow votes in this game but you were close to our worst on ground

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    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

    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
