Sorry to diverge but at first glance I misread your question. I nearly fell off my chair.

That made me give out an involuntary chuckle like Dick Dastardly's dog Muttley.

    For BOTH teams.

    And we've sent pretty close to our best available. Should be practising winning by now really...

    Our third quarter fade out is even better than our second.

    Reckon if we keep practicing like this, we might have the fadeout down pat by the time round 1 rolls around, and be able to maintain it for 4 quarters.

    Melbourne just need to win games, practice match or not.... Is the side at full strength? Minus injuries of course.

    No we dont have most of our backline or our forward line - that is not our best available. However given that from the limited information coming through it does not sound good.

    What a joke really, practice or not. Better hope Dawes, Clark and Blease make us a 10 goal better team. No pressure or anything.

    Or our midfield (Trengove, Blease, Viney?), but we need to win, this is not good.

    Doesnt matter anymore, thats why they have a paltry 26,000 members a week before the real stuff starts, there a bunch of losers.

    picked up intensity in 3rd although scoreboard not showing, seemed to have more inside 50s but failed to convert, GC got lucky everytime...

    wouldn't read into it too much..

    highlight - JW carrying the ball from HB taking three bounces along the wing and bombing it long to Hogan at FF.. who just dropped the mark..

    Obviously relying on a 17yr KPF aint gonna win us the game..

    I am excited about the Dees, if can keep up the intensity should go close for the W

    Hence why I said "best available". No doubt Clark, Trengove, Dawes, Viney, Blease, Frawley would all be VERY handy, but they're not available.

    Are you saying it was a mark he should have taken but he dropped it, or that he just barely dropped it? Just wondering.

    not to mention that Frawley and McDonald are out....

    basically our best spine aren't playing

    Frawley

    McDonald

    Clark

    Dawes

    Except for our two best backs, two best forwards and then add Blease, Viney and Trengove for good measure.

    Seems some of you are struggling to understand the term "best available"....

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
