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.

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form
