    On the positive side this just adds more credence to our request to the AFL for special assistance, doesn't it?

    Mark (no need to consult others) Evans has already told us that nothing short of the Black Death running through the club will get us a pick.

    Still on the cards then.

    Thanks for the good news.

    I know he's not the most popular player for opposition fans, but Brent Harvey in the AA-40 at age 36 is pretty good going.

    I'm afraid that's too far the other way. Priddis is a fantastic player.

    Are you [censored] kidding me? Not even in the squad? second for total disposals and fourth for clearances, and that's in our team what a joke

    Having just read through this thread I am surprised and it takes a lot to surprise me these days were the MFC is concerned.

    Jones has had a reasonable year as the captain of the worst side in the competition.

    We are a side that had four wins and finished second last. we only missed last becuase we had a couple of percentage points better the Saints.

    I dont remember Jones getting a best on ground nomination in any of the games this year.

    He had some good games but also had some ordinary games.

    He stands out at the MFC because he surrounded by a large number of poor footballers that does not make A Class just makes him the best of a bad lot.

    The simple fact is that he is not in the AA 40 because he is not in the top 40 players.

    its fully understandable, no one other then MFC supporters watch our games, if they put him in they would be just guessing, thats not professional.

  • Quote

    Said a while back, we overrate all our players due to our familiarity with the names.

    Reality is, our list is THAT bad.

  • Quote

    He is ranked 20th for supercoach points per game which is a far better representation than the AFL site's ranking system

  • Quote

    Unfair but not unexpected with tossers like Bartlett, Evans and Darcy on the panel.

    The experts and the score board agrees with me budge.

    he is playing in a very poor side and as a result looks better than he really is.

  • Quote

    Jonesy is great but needs to kick more goals

    But I dont blame him for that since hes doling so much of everything else to try and lift his rabble team

  • Quote

    Just saw the panel had Bartlett, Richo and Frawley on it.

    What a shock that Ellis gets a nod ahead of Jones.

    Oh please. What a load of garbage. I thought people stopped trotting that line out 2 years ago. Apparently not.

    it works the other way IMO, it is harder to look good in a shyzen side because nobody with any skill is helping you out and you get all the opposition attention

    its not his teammates he runs rings around its the opposition, under your selection criteria Ablett has been very lucky to have been considered over the years with so many duds around him.

    He doesn't kick more goals because he does all the hard running to help out the backline, then runs hard again to set up another option.

    Reality check needed Nathan Jones ( clearly our best, aint near the top echelon) which really is what a few of us have been saying ........ Fabulous player but playing in a Sheeeeeeit team means just a tick under "A" grade

    Dunn, Jetta very good but not as good as those whom they would replace.

    REALITY CHECK !

    • 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?

      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?
