I reckon joeboy's comment on McDonald is very harsh and completely misguided. Players have poor games sometimes; he's been arguably our best player over the season, I think it's grossly unfair to accuse him of an over-inflated ego after one poor performance.

I seem to be following you around today Nasher.

Might be a little harsh but compiling that list using just three words would be a very hard job.

I sure as hell could not do it.

I forgive you joeboy

Old Dee he could have used

Lowered his colours

Beaten today

Beaten by Cloke

Etc etc

Yes he could have

But I don't mind a little emotion especially if he was [censored] about losing that game.

I think on a couple of others he was very generous.

The comments would have been more barbed from me if I had the skill in the first place.

I generally look forward to the 3 word descriptions, but this one is just too

described jack watts as a "bipolar performances" is absurd, apart from being hugely insulting about this very unfortunate condition. The Regs should censor this immediately

One of my relatives is bipolar, and I can tell you Jack Watts is so far away from bipolar that it is not funny. If this poster is determined to insult our number one draft pick, thereby ensuring he leave, then it may give him varcarious pleasure, but it makes this demon suppiorter extremely angry. All it will do is ensure he leaves. God we shoot ourselves in the foot sometimes.

Pc police alert!

I think the coaching staff might have erred too. Sometimes they don't get every matchup right. Sometimes the balance between reacting (and changing) and persisting (trust...no panic) is a fine line.

I like the 3 word analysis; but it fails to take into consideration coaching box issues.

Paul Roos said no one maned up on Oxyley and players didn't listen to the coach's intructions. I assumed he was a defender who accumulated a stack disposals and hence screwed the Dees chance of a win. Didn't both teams play an extra man in defence?How can

have someone play on Oxley when we have a spare player in defence? Can someone please make sense of it?

You are aware he is nicknamed Arro and Gancy within the club.

He was talking about the forwards competing and ensuring he was kept accountable. He didn't necessarily want a specific man on him, just that the forwards were to make sure he didn't get the easy mark, as he did over and over again.

Collingwood also did very well to subtly stop our forwards getting to him, which is against the rules, but it was well hidden.

I almost agree - I don't think our forwards were hard enough at it on the long ball (rather than them being subtly stopped)

If we bombed it long and it went to the only person in defense being the Collingwood loose player then I have problem - but Oxley took numerous marks in and around our forwards. They didn't make a contest.

It was a combination of both, in the first half he was happy to have the loose in our backline, but from half time onwards he wanted us to go to a 7 man forward line and man up the loose man.

The second point about protecting the marking space was something i was surprised about on game day, but the collingwood players did it really well and its something we need to do better in our backline when we have the loose.

Chris,Nutbean and Mad_Melbourne comments on Oxley were well explained,nothing like pointing out the obvious to a mere Deemon supporter probably should have taken the red pill.Was it a coincidence in the MATRIX there were references to BLUE and RED pills?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
