I would much rather a few of the other guys had the confidence to take the game on like Terlich.

Sylvia? Really? Ran around the outside of packs, 10 direct turnovers, kicking efficiency about 50%. Flashy goal in the last, 3 quarters too late.

Viney, Dawes, Howe, Garland , Gawn and Sellar get pass marks. The rest, not.

The Herald sun summed it up for me with the following - Jack Viney played his best game for the club, Matt Jones kept trying and Gawn again showed something, but that was about it.

AFL standard
Howe - Our best. If he could kick straight he would bag 5-6.

Gawn - liked his game. Big man. Has the edge.

N.Jones - tagged again. No one cuts out his tagger to help.

Sylvia - showed why he is in our top 5 players. Frustration let him down.
Viney - tried but flawed

M.Jones - classy disposal. Our best rookie this year.
Strauss - showed some run and carry. Nice goal. A keeper.

Terlich - trier

Tapscott - showed some grunt. but also fumbled too much

Frawley - was he playing !!
McKenzie - hmmm - bereft of skills
Dunn – trier.
Garland - holding back a tidal wave. trier.
Sellar - trier
Evans - trier
Kent - overwhelmed. trier. leave in to get some games into.
Dawes - no one at magpieland cried when he left. One effort player.

To be omitted:
Spencer – 2nd rate. VFL Dev squad.
Bail – ohhh. Back to vfl. Fell over. Missed tackles etc etc
Nicholson - dumb and dumber and dumb and dumber 2
Byrnes - VFL standard (drop)
Davey - limited and flawed. Missed 2 easy goals

Dawes ?? pushed off the footy. One effort. Poor elbow swing. Tried to mark on chest not hands. he was poor.

Thought for limited opportunities Dawes kicked some nice passes that had the forwards leading to the the ball. He took a couple of marks, contested a bit, and fluffed a few. For first game back, I'd give him a 'pass'. Lots of room for him to improve. Nice if players could kick to his advantage.

Call me crazy, but I've found myself agreeing with Bluey on one point tonight.

Howe plays like an absolute millionaire; best player in the U-7's.

If he could bring some variety to his game, it'd be a breath of fresh air.

His one 'screamer' today: made it look harder than it was.

    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
