Sub out Strauss and put Davey in the forward pocket.

Sub out Byrnes. At least Strauss is doing ok defensively.

Can I ask to sub off anyone and make Ablett swap jumpers? My god he is a freak.

The only thing worth watching at this miserable game.

The beer's ice cold.

I've actually switched to light beers in the 2nd term - to avoid being under the table by the end of the game. In response to the game I was getting stuck into the heavies but I want to be here for the turnaround.

Healy said at the 5 minute mark of 1st quarter that the players are mentally beaten.

We were mentally beaten after the Port match, and it's going to be much like that all year I suspect. Fragile. We just don't have the kind of leaders and experienced players that Geelong do to pull us out of it.

It's a bit hard to tell from the TV, but wasn't Jordie tagging Harbrow in the first half? If so he actually seems to be doing his job, as Harbrow picked up 32 possies last week, only 6 to half time against us.

Their top 5 most experienced players are better (overall) than our top 5.

The most experienced in order of games played

1. Sylvia / Ablett

2. Jones N / Campbell Brown

3. Byrnes / Brennan

4. Frawley / Harbrow

5. Dunn / Murphy

Our bottom 6 wouldn't get a game elsewhere either IMO (in no particular order) ......

Spencer

Strauss

Nicholson

Bail

Sellar

McKenzie

We also have 6 players (versus their 2) who have less than 10 games under their belt....

Kent

Terlich

Viney

Jones M

Gawn

Evans

And we also have ..... Neeld and his amazing line/development coaches :ph34r:

I'm trying to think of something to write to express my gut wrenching disappointment, however I cannot find the words....

You might need to stop thinking and point your arse towards the keyboard....

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
