No credit for Moloney? Not exactly down hill skiing when you perform against the 2nd place side on their homeground...

I try not to think about how well Moloney is playing, it's too depressing that he isn't doing it for us

And the drugs have worn off............nnnnnnnnnnnnnnow!

The come down is harsh.

That was brilliant by the Lions, Essendon turned up as though they just expected to win, Lions would have none of that and hit them hard from the first bounce. Hurley subbed off concussed within 10 minutes, another player copped a big charge from behind, Brown slammed into someone. This is what I want from the Demons tomorrow, you don't have to be the most skilled side but if you hit them harder than they hit you you're always in with a chance.

Merrett ought to get suspended for his sling tackle on Hurley (edit: based on Trengove's suspension a few years back, anyway). Clarke ought to get suspended for his charge of Kavanagh.

This is similar to the reaction to Jetta's suspension a couple of weeks ago - some people view that as the type of aggression/intent we need to show, others view it as a 'cheap shot' and don't like it.

"Can't talk...Coming down"

Top effort by the Bears. I wonder if the MFC could play like that?

Do they want Neeld?

Brisbane obviously want Voss to continue, they were stiff last week.

Essendrug back in form.

Great.

15 disposals and not mentioned in the team bests on the AFL website is hardly "performing" Stuie. How many threads do you want to put this misinformation on? I've counted two so far. Get over it, you're turning into Rangey Mk 2 in that you think the more times you post something the more it will be true. Lol!

Yup, apologies there, I was following the stats online and added up the wrong columns. 15 touches, 7 tackles, and a goal still a pretty good game though.

Not quite enough though. Same thing he was guilty of with MFC.

What are you talking about? He was accused of not getting it enough in our loses and too much in our wins? They won today. Do the math.

It's exactly what he would have done at Melbourne. He continues to substantiate his down-hill ski work. Very, very, very rarely does he get it done against good opposition.

Every good game Beamer plays for the Lions is an indictment on both him and Mark Neeld.

Have to give credit to the Lions though, they did play well.

As a Bomber supporter we have been playing like this since the GWS game. Obviously against Geelong we didn't take our opportunies kicking 1.9 in the 3rd Q. If the GWS were more experienced and converted missed opportunies they might have beaten us. ATM we lack intensity at the start of the game and as others had pointed out we think we just need to turn up to win.

Michael Voss is safe atm and he hasn't lost the players at all. Don't forget they were good against the WCE and could have won that game as well. Voss may still get the arse if they decide to go in another direction at the end of the season.

If you think the Dees and Neeld are under pressure look at the Bulldogs they escape the media attention all the time.

Do you think the interviews have finally made his scandal really weigh on the playes minds?

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
