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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
