We never will, but we should send a stern please explain to the AFL regarding the umpiring today. Absolutely [censored] disgraceful.

How can they be allowed to make so many mistakes? Pathetic.

Also please for the love of god no more Byrnes. He is useless.

Edit: Fitzy is fantastic, and Watts has had the most remarkable transformation since Neeld was sacked.

3/4 time and not one of our players has had 10 kicks.

So what IS the rule for forced behinds?

Maybe that failed Tiger and failed umpire coach Gieshen could explain it........if he or anyone else actually knows. :-)))
 

The club has a few forwards at its disposal . Mitch, Dawes, Watts, Hogan and Fitzy. Fitzy maybe good trade bait for the saints or bullies.

Fitzgerald is an Interesting one. Was touted a top 10 draft pick a year before his draft. Was diagnosed with chronic fatigue in his trade year and was poor as a result and his trade stocks diminished. It turns out he has diabetes and has improved a lot since this has been managed.

Has played well against the best defensive team in the league. He could be something good or just a flash in the pan. Play him for the rest of the season and trade him if Mitch's foot is ok

Of the five you mention, only three are on the Paddock today, and we have never had more than that available. Effectively what you are suggesting is that we trade our tallest and second youngest forward to leave us with two. What is the logic in that?

Trengove simply can't run with McVeigh. We were supposed to have drafted an 'elite' runner in Trenners.


Why would we bloody trade him?!

Coz we need mids more than forwards!!! We have too many talls in the team. You cant trade crap and get AFL players. Fitzy is showing value ATM and he may gets us a mid that is more important to the team

Simple really

People forget that as one of the lowly teams we get the most inexperienced umpires, week in week out. The good umpires get the Geelong hawthorn gigs.

Its not right, Its not fair. It is what it is.

No
 

Oh and can someone man the [censored] up on McVeigh? He is taking the [censored] out there!

It was actually the correct call. He didn't kick it to himself, can't dispose of it with a handball.


Do we really need umpires?

They are USELESS

So frustrating

I understand your logic but I think it would be ludicrous to trade out what's looking to be our one of our best big men.

Fitzy apart from Hogan is the only fwd we have who is not carrying an injury, why would we trade him? Beautiful lead, and his kicking is improving with confidence. Do not sell. Tippett is an example of why Frawley is gold dust and must be retained.

Trengove simply can't run with McVeigh. We were supposed to have drafted an 'elite' runner in Trenners.

Draft Notes:

Trengove has all the right physical attributes - height, endurance and speed. He is possibly the best marking midfielder in the draft - the way he floats across packs at times is reminiscent of James Hird. His skills are sound and, watching him play, the thing you notice is his constant involvement in what is going on. He gets to the right places and, when he's there, usually has some sort of say in what happens with the ball. He's a smart, brave, perceptive player with the skills to finish things off.

Trengove dispelled any doubt over his speed off the mark at last month's state testing session in Adelaide. He ran 2.97 seconds in the 20-metre sprint to complement his awesome endurance - he's a former state-level cross country runner.

MMM said ...the rulebook STATES if the ball is HANDBALLED through with no pressure then its a BOUNCE at the top of the square!!

Ok, as I said, trade out one of our excess tall forwards. Fitzy has the least history at AFL. He has been impressive today. Take him out and put in a very good midfielder with Hogan, Clark, Watts and Dawes in the forward line.

It's simple IMO.

As i said it depends on Clarks Injury

It was actually the correct call. He didn't kick it to himself, can't dispose of it with a handball.

My understand is that it should then be a bounce on the top of the goal line.

I hate Nicholson as a player. Absolutely hate him.

Out of interest did you hate him in the last qtr last week, where without him we would have lost ?


I understand your logic but I think it would be ludicrous to trade out what's looking to be our one of our best big men.

He's our best (along side Watts) ATM. Watts maybe having a poor game in the forward line today, but he is a very good swingman. Down back toady he's been better.

It's a good problem to have but the club needs mids. They need to look at trading for a good mid. The draft and pre season draft will help, but our whole list is un balanced with talls. Dunn is not going to get us a player

He needed to kick it to himself to restart play first. This is why the rule was bought in. CORRECT DECISION

 

Only 5 goals in it in the last q against the last years premiers is not bad!

Why was Clisby left to take the kick-out in the first place?

    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.
