Grumble, grumble, grumble

6 - Viney - again tagged and beat out Stevens. Just getting the job done.

5 - Gawn - dominated all day. Wish we could capitalise more

4 - N. Jones - wasnt going to give him votes but his 4th quarter effort was huge to try and will us to something

3 - Grimes - Still needs to get back up to speed but he offers so much off half back

2 - Howe - trade value going up, up

1 - Watts - big first half and tried to get involved in the second. Getting better.

1 - Dunn( was rarely beaten)

5. Dawes. For getting us off to a great start with the clever tactic of putting his shoes on back-to-front.

4. Watts. Claiming a 2-meter mark - all class today. Almost Pendles-like with the time and space he thinks he has.

3. Roos. Garland on Nick a curve-ball they surely weren’t expecting.

2. Lamumba. Never afraid to play on and take the first option whatever that may be.

1. Tyson. Seamlessly adapting to the Melbourne blue-print after a troubled first year.

6 - Viney. Rapidly becoming an elite mid.

5 - Gawn. Rapidly becoming a real ruck.

4 - Nev. If nothing else for that monumentally late hit and then claiming that the ball had been touched. Genius.

3 - Vince. Was involved and was one of the few who did something productive when they had the chance to hit a forward.

2 - Garland. Had his work cut out against Saint Nick. Was beaten but not shamed.

1 - Brayshaw. I was amazed that he was listed as having only two tackles until I remembered that most would have been listed as effective (non) disposals or frees against due to the most influential player on the ground.

Speaking of which...

Most influential Player: Umpire Wallace, closely followed by Mollison.

Couldn't give votes to Hogan Because he missed an absolute sitter and in a low-scoring game that kills us. Likewise Garlett. Dawes both missed a sitter and shanked passes to open forwards twice in the first quarter, so he's out. Tyson cost Harmes a chance at his first AFL goal by passing behind him. Cross and Dunn ruled themselves out with loose marking which cost us goals. Jones played on when he shouldn't have repeatedly, cost us multiple goals. Watts kept trying to pinpoint passes into the corridor and missing. Once I got through all the players I couldn't vote for it was getting really hard to find someone I could.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    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

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
