Reality time folks - we've got what we've got - move on.

    EDIT*: Thanks for the reminder of Gillies, obviously a shocker and likely a rushed decision after the loss of Rivers. I wish time was taken to recruit a quality VFL (or equivalent) mature key defender.

    Gillies is just that - a quality VFL, mature key defender. Was very good last game at Casey (for example). Whether or not he's a quality AFL mature key defender is another question!

    Just to add:

    Pedersen: I wouldn't be writing him off yet. A couple of very good/BOG games for Casey, and got plenty of it against the Pies. Is too good for the VFL (B&F last year), but whether he can take the step up on a consistent basis? Time will tell.

    Sellar. Hmm. Would need a better second half of the year than what we've seen so far. Disappointing, he was far from our worst last year.

    Compared to what happened under BP, drafting has been stellar, especially this year. With 14 players coming in, clearly there will be some who won't make it, but that's always the case. The draftees all seem keepers, which is more than we can say for the last few years' crop.

    For what it's worth, the drafting during Neeld's time has been good. How much involvement he actually had we'll never really know.

    Agreed. There were some misses, but they are not costly misses like we've had, and certainly not in a way that we've seen under previous set ups. Some people around here start crying if freeby hopeful at # 60 something isn't any good, I care when pick # 10 or so turns out to be a ballerina in disguise.

    As far as I can tell MN best recruits to the MFC either are not allowed to play at this time or spend more time injured then they do actually playing.

    Mind you give me millions of dollars to waste and even I would come up with a few winners.

    History will show that MN was one of the worst VFL/AFL senior coaches ever. He is so lucky the AFL had allowed the two new expansion teams at the time he become a senior coach as this has made his win/lose statistics much better then it otherwise would have been.

    He had taken the MFC from eight win in a season to where it will be lucky to win two.

    People can sugar coat MN time as much as they like but in my opinion he was a dangerous virus that the MFC needed to get rid of and the more I am hearing of his coaching style the firm this belief becomes.

    But what really upsets me is the fact he gets paid $600K by the MFC when in fact he should be paid the Club this money for what he has don or not done..

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
