Makes it ever more embarrassing when the midfield of Rockliff, Redden and Moloney run roughshod over us.

Feel bad for Rich, he needed a consistent period now to work out his worries with taggers to get to the elite level. He's been robbed of this for now. I think he's the best kick of the footy in the AFL.

We are now a huge show.

No Hanley, no Rich, no Black.

Bring in Jordie to shut down Rockliff and we are a MASSIVE chance.

How about we win cause we play better brand of football. Thats what id like to see.

I think Brisbane should be far more concerned with their decline in form across the board than with the loss through injury of one player. And if that loss of form coincides with a return of confidence at Melbourne after Sunday's final quarter heroics then we must be a chance to win this one.

Bad luck to Rich. Helps our chances though as Rich and Henley are two of their key movers!

I still think Rich would be a good trade target for us at the end of the year. He's experienced now, solid body, can win his own ball and has one of the best kicks in the league.

He's had a poor start to the season no doubt. Only lowers his trade value. I think he's attainable and would be a good get for our woeful midfield. Adds both inside and outside.

That's the point, he doesn't handle it well at all. Moloney had that problem with us and the better teams always kept him out of the game, he's been lucky at Brisbane because Rich has been the target. On the other hand Nathan Jones has been getting a lot of attention this year and he's handling it well, he just keeps on working.

    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

    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
