Garlet comment is ridicules.

Dunn - excellent but overwhelmed... WTF Dunn was pathetic. Gave away stupid free kicks and 50m penalty. He is lucky Kennedy didn't kick straight.

Garlett's urgency and willingness to chase, harass and tackle any opposition player was nothing short of phenomenal tonight. It directly resulted in goals and scoring shots for us and he kicked 1.2 with our ball movement going inside forward 50 being terrible again. He had 10 tackles. 10!

It's [censored] tiresome reading assessments like these when they can be so wrong. It's not a matter of opinion.

You're either blind or you have no idea.

He was pretty much our best player.

Neal-Bullen- get more ball

He knows where to run to score goals, now needs to work on getting to more contests and getting more possies. Looks promising, like a Grimes but more skilful.

Stretch was solid too i thought.

And Dawes knows how to run into him when he does so.

I didn't watch the game so I can't comment on any players. Based on the end result it looks like we were beaten in most parts of the ground.

A 10 goal belting should force 3 changes.

Mind made up!

Now I'm going to go out on a limb here picket fence. It is based, however, on the 250 posts you have made on the topic. You don't rate Jimmy Toumpas. Just to reiterate, you do not rate Jimmy Toumpas. You are not a fan of the Toump. You've said it before and you'll say it again, the Toump must go. Get him out of the club. Cannot play. Kaputski. Am I right?

Pathetic isn't it the way people like RTG just beat about the bush and don't say anything definite :-))

He's been doing it most of the year, too.

Wonderful pick up for this club. Love his work.

Both bail and jones dropped chest marks in front of goal which I cant forgive

Garletts goal assists butchered pearls before swine

Beautiful ball delivery to leading forwsrds by wc - cut our defence some slack for that and our fwds would kick twice the goals with similar delivery

Stretch and anb impressed for young light players

If you could keep a tally of free kicks not paid to Melbourne players that would be helpful. Also an analysis of which of those non-frees were followed by a WC goal. You know, if you're offering... :rolleyes:

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
