Couldn't believe fitzy was unmanned for periods of the game. Insulting.

They didn't have to worry. nobody could kick to him. One of the few times someone spotted him in space they lobbed a high up-and-under on his head and allowed three Hawks to close in and smash him.

ranked in order

Dawes – tough. Marked well. Gave a target. Can move between FF & CHF. 21 disposals, 12 marks and a goal
Frawley – great game. Nullified and chased down Franklin
N.Jones – only AFL top quality midfielder on our list. 28 disposals and 11 clearances.
Garland – held Roughhead. Good game.

Howe – not enough but is good AFL standard
Watts – must play in Forward 50
Jamar – up to standard. Needs more around the ground.
Davey - classy and must play Forward 50
Pederson – solid CHB. Must keep building
Trengove - improving
Dunn – battled.
Terlich – settled in.
Strauss – some good. Some bad. Needs to learn to tackle.
Evans – hmmm. Battles.
Kent – yes some glimpses. Keep in.
Tapscott – sub. Got involved.
M.Jones – quiet.
Fitzpatrick - cause for optimism

Rodan – up/down, circles, fumbles, good tackles. Missed sitter of a goal.Hmmm.
Macdonald – battled.
McKenzie -below required standard (casey??)
Bail - was the worst

Agree with that

Surprisingly upbeat from you Joeboy. Not that I disagree. As I keep saying, that was about the best 95 point loss I've ever seen.

Good call Ralphius.

I agree with that. Never thought I would feel that way after a 16 goal loss, but there you go.

I hope Neeld stays, and is given a chance with an improved midfield list.

Great effort by J Mac. Kept an inform Mitchell who has been over the past 3 games averaging 15 kicks, 34 disposals, and a goal to a relatively quiet 8 kicks, 24 disposals and nothing on the score board.

One of the highlights for me today. Good on him.

His kicking and decision making can be poor but you always know you are going to get 100% from J Mac.

I love Joely Mac just for his attack on the pill and have been saying for a while he should be played as a defensive half forward.

The reasons being not only he works his backside off to beat his man one on one but his kicking and decision making won't hurt us so much if he is putting it forward rather than clearing from defence.

I think he offers a lot more there than Dunn and his wannabe agro.

JMac is really important to our list because he sets an example on the field for competitiveness. With Dawes, Garland and N Jones setting benchmarks for competitiveness, players like Terlich, Howe, M Jones and Evans improving and with Silvia, Grimes, Byrnes and Clark coming back Im feeling much better about our team for the second half of the season.

The inclusion of each AFL standard player will have a massive impact to our onfield performance.

It was a great effort but how sad is it that 3 or 4 of our players are playing "shut down/run with" roles every week. Jones is the only bloke opposition teams have to tag and honestly Sewell showed today that it's just as affective going head to head.

Untill we have at least 3 or 4 players for other teams to worry about we will be chasing tail from the first bounce.

I am finally starting to see the game plan of the MFC.It is to get toally smashed in the first two quarters so as to catch the other team off guard in the second half. Just need a little more fitness in the four quarter and we should have them.

I so loved the 51 point comeback against Fremantle in 2008 and just know they team can do better given the chance.

Loved how Buddy was contained. Also there are a few players who did show they can play, but its always hard to judge when the team gets totally outplayed in so many positions.

Thought Fitzy was terrible, for a bloke trying to prove himself, fumbly, couldnt take a mark, turned the ball over, shocking.

    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

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
