    can't argue with that.

    Maybe add:

    Roos- needs 10 years.

    Dawes- get over it.

    Clark- please come back.

    Hogan- Great White Hope.

    Prendergast- won't brake car.*

    *joking.

    You often go over the top, but I think that's pretty spot on joeboy.

    N.Jones - absolute super star

    Grimes - rattled and weak

    Watts - soft and weak

    Toumpas - skillful but slow

    Frawley - tough, mistake riddled

    Trengove - opposition ran past him.

    Byrnes - worked bloody hard

    Tyson - reduced by turnovers

    Dunn - another great game

    Cross - kick it sometimes

    Pederson - Casey Fields beckons

    Michie - very poor game

    Vince - not effective enough

    Kennedy -Harris - provided some energy

    McDonald - useful at times

    Howe - zing has disappeared

    Spencer - workhorse was murdered

    Bail - really shocking game

    M.Jones - horrible decision making

    Terlich - man up sometimes

    Fitzpatrick - really poor game

    Georgiou - bring Garland back.

    I've seen a lot of people mention Toumpas' lack of pace but for me it's not that big a concern. He modelled his game as a junior on Bryce Gibbs and Leigh Montagna, neither of whom are what you'd call quick. For him to take the next step I'd like to see him get more involved. 25, 30 possession games I'm talking. He would rival Watts, Dunn, Tyson or Vince as best kick in the team. If he gets his numbers up he'll be a gun.

    Long decade ahead

    without distinct improvement there is NO decade !!!

    I agree mostly with the analysis except for a couple of ratings. I thought Pederson tried very hard. I like Gergiou's endeavour, he is listed in the footy record as 187 cm's the same height as Grimes and stood Dean Cox at times and gave a decent contest. I think he's got the spirit we need.

    Again I thought Dunn was one of our better players and Jones continues to lead by example but doesn't get enough followers.

    Most Melbourne players barring Jones are happy to let the opposition get first hands on the ball. Is this lack of courage or confidence?

    I'm okay with Roosy's game plan however if we continue to move the ball in to the forward line as slowly as we have been we will be lucky to get more than 5 -10 goals every game.

    Hard to have a plan B with D grade players

    maybe a plan F ?

    we'd have that nailed surely !!!

    Fitzpatrick - was still concussed

    In the few minutes I saw before Fitz was subbed he appeared to be beating NicNat in the ruck pretty handily. You have to give him points for that.

    Byrnes - Quick but useless

    Problem is he seems to run so slowly that his opponents just run the ball out of defence and he doesn't gain a singe bit of ground on them. They literally could run from one end to the other if Toumpas doesn't get a chop out. Usually you see the bloke with the ball in hand getting caught up to by chasers from behind but Toumpas rarely seems to be able to make any ground!

    I don't mind the look of Georgiou because he is a 1 on 1 competitor. We would have to have the least number of people capable of competing 1 on 1 in the competition so every person we find who can do this should be playing.

    You people should watch more closely. Nathan Jones was involved (and central to) at least 3 turnover goals.

    Surely the team total of 11 goals from turnovers is the new AFL record?

    Dom Tyson will be a star - our only current candidate for "elite midfielder".

    Toumpas is still not quick, nor is Trenners. But both can play. Cross is a dead set Barry-battler.

    Pederson and Spencer should never play again for MFC once we have a viable alternatives.

    Re Jones - The poor bastard is entitled to make mistakes. He carries the side.

    Agree about Pedo but Spencer busts a gut. He was in a no win today trying to take those two big bastards on his own.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
