    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.

    I am comfortable with what my eyes tell me.

    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: 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.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
