Can't believe Watts is getting votes. He was as infuriating as ever.

He was better today than he has been in a long time. Plenty of ball, did some damage with it, took players on with his pace and I think he even tried to put a block on at one point. Of course, he was also [censored]-poor whenever someone put a hand on him, but it was still an improvement.

Don't agree. I have been on the anti-Watts bandwagon for years but I thought his game tonight was the best I've seen him play (at least until 3/4 time). I actually saw some endeavour, chase, tackling and something that resembled urgency at times. Yes once or twice he reverted to type but nowhere near as often or as bad as usual. And his use of the ball and decision making was by far superior to any one else on the field - and boy, don't we need that! I didn't know whether to be happy (turned the corner) or sad because it was an aberration and so he won't be considered for trading. I so hope it's the former, but I fear not. Anyway:

6 Nathan Jones

6.Tyson - he has only just begun, going to be a very very good player when he hits the 50-70 game range

5.TMac - good game and good to see him kick 2 goals, I have a lot of faith in this kid

4.Vince - been a good pick up and continued his good form tonight

3.Kent - showed what he is capable of, if he can develop a tank look out

2.Cross - I love him and the way he goes about it, can play another 2 years he is that professional in his approach

1.Watts - again some bad point with keeping his feet and one on ones but used it well and took the game on a bit

Michie and Nate Jones are unlucky to miss out on votes

The fall off in the number of posts in post match threads compared to a few years ago correlates with our game day attendances and is indicative of the extreme apathy gripping supporters 8 years in to a catastrophic era for the MFC.

I wish we could sue Schwab and Connolly. Seriously

Me too...I would add a few more to the list.

6 - Vince ( a class ahead of anyone else in our team this game)

5 - Tyson ( intelligent footballer who amassed heaps of possessions , but infuriatingly seems to encounter mental blocks)

4 - McDonald ( hates to lose , has passion, but needs to master his foot skills)

3 - Kent ( a break out game too late to build momentum on )

2 - N.Jones ( workhorse, who was prolific but not a standout )

1 - Cross ( sad we have to play him, but age hasn't wearied)

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
