why is everyone so downbeat??? We will win this week to get everyone's hopes up again then crush them all again by losing to whoever we play the week after. Its the MFC emotional rollercoaster, get on board.

    I'm surprised people still care so much. I am interested but don't see wins as a stepping stone to consistent wins anymore, not for this season anyway. This season is shot. My interest would be to see Hunt and King perhaps get game/s sometime this year, if allowable. I'm not sure if King is allowed to play a game, as he is still rookied ? I've seen enough of most of the other young players, so would like to see what these guys can offer. Most of the young guys appear to show they have some talent to work with.

    So true.

    We beat collingwood - MFC has turned a corner and will be going deep into the finals in 2016.

    We lose to carlton - MFC will now fold and become the New Zealand Demons in 2016.

    Now there is an idea New Zealand!

    MFC will have to learn the Harka (excuse the ignorant spelling)

    Can't be that hard for our lot.

    Then again they seem to struggle with some simple things now.

    Good news, Cloke and Blair have been ruled out this weekend

    This should help us keep the margin to 50 instead of 80

    Good that's 10 goals we don't need to worry about.

    I get the feeling Toumpas has played his last game for the club. I believe he will be traded out at years end and it doesn't seem like the FD have much patience with him in the seniors this season.

    How did he go in the VFL?

    Concussed.

    Dawes out... King in.

    Why not? King comes in and does nothing then he's as good as Dawes, King comes in and does something then he's better than Dawes.

  • Quote

    Dawes does worse than nothing. He kicks underground, muffs hand passes, drops marks, misses targets, misses easy goals. A dead cat could do better.

    Good to see that Neal-Bullen, off an interrupted pre-season, is already too good for VFL with 40 possessions. Funny that we weren't going to use that pick if Dom Barry and Evans stuck around, who couldn't get 40 possessions between them in 3 weeks at Casey.

    All the more reason to pay out a guy like Terlich and draft in another kid.

    We know that Riley, McKenzie, Bail etc aren't up to AFL level so I'm not too interested in seeing them recalled, but I would like to see Hunt play as sub, because aside from Garlett he's the only player on the list with genuine pace and we are screaming out for anyone that can break a line and take the game on. It would be so refreshing to see a Melbourne player evade an opponent and take a bounce.

    It would also be great if they could give King and White a taste before the end of the year to let them know the level they need to get to in pre-season.

    Wow! You wouldn't have heard that comment around these here parts 18 months ago..... :)

    LOL...I am desperate to see Dawes out of the team so Pedersen coming back this season was exciting!!

    IN: Jamar, ANB, Newton, Hunt (sub)
    OUT: VB, Stretch, Harmes, Michie

    Here's what I'm thinking...

    Play Jamar as ruck until we do the sub, play Gawn forward, play Dawes high on the wing. Jamar is our most known ruckman by the mids, we are winning hitouts but losing clearances, so let's try the Russian in there and see if it helps.

    Gawn is killing it in contested marks, so play him forward until the sub.

    Dawes will impact the contest more playing closer to the midfield more often and throwing his weight around.

    Newton was very good for Casey, and knows where to run, we desperately need that also.

    Hunt is pretty close to a shot, reckon he could be a great injection of pace and attack as sub this week.

    Dawes won't get near a contest to impact it 'stuie' and he's too slow and would be run rings around by opponents.

    Give Newton a shot, I don't care if he's not a two-way runner. Just take a risk that he'll play well offensively. We didn't use to play Sam Blease and expect him to be Dane Swan, we played him because he could hit the ball at a million miles an hour and burn off opponents. (not saying Newton can do that) Nothing worse than hearing about a talented player not adhering to "standards" in a team that's bland and boring.

    I hope he hasn't but I agree it's looking more likely.. He sat out the 2nd half due to a head knock/concussion.

    In: Jamar, Neal-Bullen, Toumpas

    Out: Dawes, Lumumba, Stretch

    B: Garland Dunn Jetta

    HB: Watts McDonald Cross

    C: Tyson Michie Vince

    HF: Brayshaw Hogan Neal-Bullen

    F: Garlett Jamar Howe

    Foll: Gawn Viney Jones

    I/C: vandenBerg, Grimes, Toumpas

    Sub: Harmes

    I was almost tempted to put Dawes in there, but we need to send a message. Jamar can stand around and be tall just as well as he can.

    Grimes can't rotate through the midfield so he either starts as a defender or doesn't play.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
