There's no disgrace in being beaten by a few goals from a well polished, highly professional outfit, with a great history that is the Suns. Your thoughts.

    Forget about the score, the worry was the refusal to run, chase, lead, man-up and shepherd.

    The Suns should have won by more.

    Again, Watts just floats around and is so soft that it's actually embarrassing.

    We played poorly and got crucified by the umps and still only lost by 8 points. We can beat a number of teams in the comp this year.

    sucks so bad to lose

    But that would have been a 100 point ;loss last year

    baby steps

    Not all positive. Jack went back to square one. Today we got the disinterested, pea hearted version. There's no sugar coating it. Some of the chase attempts were disgusting.

    Need I say more about Jack Watts?

    Wish he'd get a long term injury

    true, but work still to be done at selection, & by the development coaches @ Casey.

    still plays like a point guard basketballer.

    Jack Watts, you can tackle, & get tackled in this game. Just in case you hadn't realised yet.

    oh, & chase; when your opponent is running off with the ball you just coughed up. 'just sayin'.

    It's really inspiring that they can give that kind of output without extracting beads of sweat for over 100mins of football...

    So 3 out of 4 is a positive result... a credit, indeed (at least it was when I was at Uni). Thank God for the AFL's standardization...

    It's currently not positive, but it can be as early as 2015. Yes, sadly my fellow supporters, it's another year over for the demons. Paul Roos, some who would truely think he answeres to 'masih', needs time. Its in my personal opinion Roos should execute a mass killing by October. The following names should be thoes who suvive this exodus: Hogan, N. Jones, Salam, Watts, Toumpass, Dawes, Viney, Trengove, Tyson, McKenzie, Dunn, Cross, Garland, Michie, Vince, JKH, McDonald, Grimes, Gawn, Howe, Fitzpatrick, M.Jones and thoes drafted in 2013.
    Simple as that. Trade players with any wealth:
    J.Frawley - 1st Round pick

    S.Blease - 4th Round pick?

    L. Tapscott - pick in 4th round?

    Finish 16?

    Pick 3: Best midfielder (inside, tough)

    Pick in 1-20 (Frawley): Forward backup for Dawes and Hogan

    Pick 27ish: Key Defender to replace Frawley's loss

    Pick 45ish: Key midfielder

    Pick 63ish: Best available

    Pick 70ish (Blease): Best available

    Pick 70ish (Tapscott): Best available

    We need to keep Frawley - if you think we should trade him you're one of the classic MFC supporters who thinks the draft is the answer; it is not. Frawley is actually a big part of the answer.

    Who would pay anything for Blease or Tapscott? They can't even develop VFL-level form.

    As for the rest, let's leave that kind of discussion until the end of the year.

    I just threw up in my mouth a bit.

    That happened right in front of me. He is alarmingly fragile in the contest. It's astonishing. And it's not through a lack of strength. He completely disregards the opponent and plays and moves like he's a man playing against under-12s. The guy needs a reality check. VFL reality check.

    absolutley pathetic chook, weak as pizz for a man his size, how he was no.1 draft pick ill never know

    I really think that video is a bit unfair and a disgrace from us supporters.

    He was really bad today, Watts, but that passage of play isn't that bad and it would have happened to 15 others today.

    At least he laid a tackle today! We had 5 players notch up a big fat 0 in the T column. People give it to Watts partly because he deserves it, but partly because they're biased. He was not the only player today to play poorly, so why is he the only one to get shamed on YouTube?

    Yeah I got that vomit taste too now that you mention it. Jesus what a joke! I am behind words right now, I need to rinse out that taste!!

    Because he comes with a higher expectation being a higher draft pick. Like it or not, high draft picks are supposed to have at least good football skills and smarts. I don't see this with Watts but we had the opportunity to trade him and we didn't.

    There are no positives. The 2nd Q was a disgrace.

    We should have won the game. Now we sit 1-4 with a full strength Swans waiting.

    With more gut running and tackles we could have been 2-3.

    But we are not.

    If you genuinely do not think there are any positives, just give up and leave us all alone WYL. Seriously.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
