Amazing that two hours after the game there are only two posts on this thread. I am used to two pages in the first hour after a game!

I guess Garland, Watts, Howe, Dawes and co can keep their jobs this week.

    Paul Roos made mention in his post match presser that to take the next step we need to add an A+ midfielder

    Perhaps the rumours are true about Prestia coming are true :roos:

    So Prestia's gone from a B grader to an A+ grader in a week, in your calculations, mate? ;)

    One good game from Howe isn't enough. I still hope they move him on.

    Dawes has been serviceable for a couple of weeks now. Hoping he finds his niche and can continue to work around half forward... he'll never be a deep marking forward with those hands.

    No i rate him the level below, B+. Hes an absolute gun.

    A grader is reserved for the true superstars

    Roos probably wouldn't come out and say that unless something was in the works.

    Who knows, maybe Prestia's all a sideshow?

    So how can you equate Roos talking about getting an A+ midfielder to being about Dion Prestia when you only rate him as a B+?

    Logic doesn't compute, although why I'm applying logic to your posts is anybodies guess.

    Because people have different ways/grades of rating players?

    I just want him at the MFC, hes a legit gun

    As Ricky Gervais would say:

    "Your explanation is the theological equivalent of saying 'look over there' and then running in the opposite direction."

    Agree with the last part though.

    Whilst I don't wish to 'pick' on him, can some of you watch Garland today and tell me what he's adding to the side today?

    He's already fluffed kicks. One of which was to a player less than 15 metres away on his own.

    Do people see how one-dimensional our backline is?

    Garland has value through FA. We need a different skill set in our side and in our backline.

    Watch Garland for the rest of the day and you'll see what I mean. He is insignificant. Irrelevant.

    There's lots to like about Colin Garland except for his kicking. He actually kicks floaters not dissimiliar to how Cale Morton used to and Gaspar also. If you watch him closely, he makes contact with the ball right on it's point (when the ball is vertical) as opposed to the sweet spot behind the point. Hence, too many up and unders. I used to do same in the shite leagues.

    Who GAF if Prestia's B+, A or A+. Really...

    We need quality mids badly, and have for years. If he comes to Melbourne I'll be ecstatic.

    Prestia or if that fails, OMeara. If that fails and 18 of our senior players get done for steroids, Morton...the brother.

    Wouldn't it be all so much easier if we could get our hands on the all knowing file that grades all players A through to F, would make recruiting so much easier.

    I heard today from someone who knows Cam Pedersen that Jeremy Howe is gone

    Begs the question why the f he keeps getting a game (and yes he played well today)

    Begs the question why you would believe it so blindly too.

    The club knows what it is doing.

    I'm not saying I believe it blindly

    But on form Howe should have been dropped a loooong time ago.

    Just throwing this up.

    Swans have too many mids in the same mould and need some new blood in defense. Would they be interested in Fitzy??

    Maybe, but his game today shows why he should be kept in the side. No one else at Casey can play like he can.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
