Back to Epics.....

What about "The Complete guide to Hand-Wringing" by MFCSSS.

You just "Liked" yourself for good measure there also.

Many of melbournes great stars of the 50s played injured often.

GeeZZ mate, I think the standard of footy has changed a bit from the 50's.....What a stupid post...

Lots of people like McDonald's, but that doesn't mean it's good for you.

I have posted before that's I think Frawley up forward is worth a look in pre season. Has pace on a lead, good hands and knows how to apply pressure when needed.

 

He's been in horrible form & has turned into a lair. The competitive psycho we all loved has disappeared.

I've heard he's carrying some kind of foot injury that's made him a week to week proposition - this would explain why he's not making every contest.

Tough year to be a FB at Melb. Your co-leaders in back line injured or moved forward (Bartram, Garland, Rivers) and the team constantly losing.

Looks low on confidence, understandably so given the year we've had.

Reckon they are all looking forward to 8pm Sat 1st September.

I know I am.


His foot injury will still be bothering him, you can play with it but it hurts. What I notice with Frawley last night he was out muscled a couple of times by Walker and after that he avoided body contact. Didn't help that most of Adelaides Goals game from our turnovers and Walker had an open 50m arc to work in.

Some of the hysteria on here really amuses me...

Chip can't win

if he stood in front of the forward they would knock it over his head, a defender only has to look at a forward the wrong way and it is a free kick these days...if there is space for the forward to lead into, the defender is gone

Chip may have had a poor game yesterday, wasn't on his own, maybe carrying an injury, probably isn't on his own again, had a battering most of the season, again not on his own....but really....any volunteers on here to take on a 90-100Kg man who can run and jump next week or next season

Walker's mullet makes this scary big man seem even scarier... and he and Tippet were rotating to isolate and impose themselves.

Tuning up for their tilt, little James could do given where we are at...

Agree. Frawley's biggest problem is the MFC midfield. When the opposition routinely has 40 to 50 inside 50s each week, I am not sure he alone can stop the oncoming flood stream

This.

I'd prefer Chip go to the Anthony Ingerson school of defence. Start making his opponents earn their kicks. Ingerson's opponents would think twice when marking in front. Walker hardly had any physical pressure all day.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
