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.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
