Clisby thought the centre to Dawes.

Come one Dawes, put them to bed!

Thank god. I was starting to get nervous.

Byrnes has had some great hard ball gets and hit targets in traffic with his hands.
 

Dawes... Worth ever cent... Is the bloke even 100%??

Rodans been good tonight as has Fitzy...

Jacky Watts about to put it to bed

Thank god. I was starting to get nervous.

you're not the only one

Just heard on SEN that in the last 7 years out of all the Victorian teams we have only beaten the Dons and Tigers. Is this true? surely not.

btw, what a night... the Dogs would KILL for our forward line they have no one lol.

Watts has four!


Great tackle Colin Sylvia.

Must say Dawesy looks good in long sleeves. Don't mind a big key forward with long sleeves reminiscent of Schwarta he didn't mind long sleeves either. Maybe that's where we've been going wrong - after Yze can't remember the last set of long sleeves

It has taken neil craig to install belief and confidence into watts compared to what Neeld and Bailey dished up to him

Fitzy's shown a bit tonight.

Howe goals. I'm crying with joy!

Not sure, but I wouldn't have thought so when we won 8 under bailey.

Great tackle Colin Sylvia.

Was fantastic, he was held in the first half and really put the effort in the second half and got the pil a few times.

Some weeks ago I suggested that Melbourne’s player skills were not that bad and indeed would be much better if we had a different coach to Neeld or our players suddenly played for another club.

As a consequence some of this website’s members inferred or even suggested I was both an idiot and too negative about the then current administration

One needs to realise that our players came from the same VFL background as every other AFL player so their skills should not be too different from any other AFL players. Remember Port Adelaide were hopeless last year and look what has happened to them with a different coach.

Yes we still have problems and our skills could be better but watch out if we have a decent coach with a proper game strategy.

Go Melbourne!!

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
