Love it. Maybe the club can come out with a 'lurker's membership pass', where you are allowed to go as far as the inside race of the G and peep through the gate :)

Respect

I have been lucky in that I have been in the rooms at MFC. I can say that the players feel everything supporters do when they lose. And they have been out there playing and getting crunched. Me I get hot dogs.

 

If a song were to sum up the end of an MFC season it would be this.

Long, drawn out and melancholy.

Lost in a Roman Wilderness of Pain

All the Children are insane

Waiting for the summer rain

 

Cmon Baby

Thank God it's over,out of our misery now!!!

Seeya Chip you Spud,thanks for 1 good season

Anyone seen the broom?


Why did Barry replace young Salem ?

Is it just me, or does anyone else really, really, REALLY want to punch Ben Brown in the face?

I know what you mean Lamashtu, but I'd prefer to give it to Brad Scott.

Well, it could've been worse. We got to see some decent play here and there. Dawes got himself suspended which is nice. Shows a little intent. Watts would be fine if he had a force field so nobody could touch him. He never has a problem as long as they don't put their hands on him. Kent played his best quarter ever. McDonald kicked his first two goals in the AFL. We may have topped our "worst pass for the year" board.

As I say, could've been worse.

Salem had been feeling a bit 'off' and was ill during the warm up.

Thank the Creator of the Solar System this Painful year is over.

Please get some players who are mentally ready for 23 weeks next year. Not 10-12.

Feel numb. But glad its over.

Whats that 13 straight losses to Nought??


We won the contested positions, is50's and possession count (I think) it's just our turnovers which kill us.

Once we clean that up we r on our way.

When that is, is anyone's guess.

Thanks DOF.

I thought we were playing tomorrow.

Mitchie and Kent were good tonight.

Liked the way Kent looked for an option in the f50 instead of blazing away.

Said it twice cause he did it twice in the last qrt and congrats Macca for kicking your first two goals.

I thought we were playing tomorrow.

U can always watch a replay tomorrow and pretend!

Who knows we might even win!


So, looking forward...

Next year we may well see the debut of a hard-at-it young mid by the name of Harmes, and possibly even a lightning quick winger called Hunt. Both have shown god signs playing for Casey and with the benefit of a full pre-season and a few more kilo's of muscle should be ready to show their stuff.

We should also see the debut of an highly anticipated Hulk in round 1.

Coupled with this, there is every chance that we'll be seeing the return of a few quality ball-users who have had injury issues his year, so with luck the delivery to Hogan will be better than the crud we saw this year.

There will be a number of new faces around the club, hopefully a couple of experienced playmakers to balance the inside mids we seem to have stockpiled.

With a bit of luck Salem will have the legs to impact games and JKH will improve on a stellar first season.

Let's hope that next year things start to turn a bit more in our favour.

No need for any positives for next season thanks!

But I'm looking forward to next year!

I expect we may say two trade shocks this off season - the unthinkable will be thought.

and thanks for keeping your seat warm frawley...

WHO ya talkin about NSC?

i was told we would have a brand of footy to identify with, Roos lied, he failed as a coach terribly, what he allowed to happen will prove to be much more damaging than our tanking dramas, to allow Frawley & Watts to play out the season with that i don't give a sh!t attitude just so they can hold there value has damaged our brand even further & will set us back for years to come, luckily they will never wear our colours again but i have lost a lot of respect for Roos, Shame.

all but 2 senior players

 

Thought we played ok too....we just need to clean up those turnovers from skill errors.

Loved Jetta and Fitzys game.

Shame we are going to start next season without Dawes, but Hogan and Fitzy in the forward line will do nicely.....and maybe Mitch Clark by some miracle.

Add another three or four better skilled recruits ala, Vince, Tyson and Cross, and give Viney,Michie, Kent , Toumpas, Salem and JKh another preseason, and we should improve more next year.

only took 23 rounds for Roos to get them to attack

$1.7 million ............

Weren't you just last week saying you were fully supportive of where Roos has this club going..

  • 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?
