i'm sorry but Oscar Mcdonald just isn't ready for AFL footy yet. Give him time in the VFL. Why we don't have Dunn in, i'm not sure.

Either Roos is looking forward or he doesnt rate Dunn. I feel for Dunn hes.... better than Omac and garland.

Jeez OMac is a very ordinary player.. 

Dont rate him at all.

He might become decent but he's clearly not ready, baffling selection.

Petracca doesn't have the best footy instincts at the moment, he's physically capable but just needs to improve the finer points of the game.

I really wish our forwards would just be more selfish sometimes and pepper on goals. There's a time and a place for selfless footy, and it's not against this mob.

If you have a shot, back yourself!

We're over-sharing the bloody pill when it should be obvious to attack the goals. Should've kicked at least 4 more goals due to this in that qtr alone.

So all I know is the score, and the Demonland commentary. I gather we're terrible, no hope of making the finals ever again, and this will go down as the worst 10 goal victory of all time. Does that about sum it up?

Who is responsible for telling him to play on at all costs no matter what?

Matheison loves to throw his head back feigning for a free doesn't he.

Just a bloody cheat.....but it takes gullible maggots for him to do it

You missed "Roos is being out-coached again".

Your sarcasm can wear thin.

Uninspiring but scoreboard is about right. Wind makes kicking tough and you can tell. We're a 14-15 goal better side but in these conditions anywhere between 5-10 goals.

We seem to play according to our opposition levels.

Imagine if we played this rabble of a team with the game we brought against the dogs last week

or the Roo's at the start .We would be 10 goals in front by now.

As a team we are so poor with our decision making from a mark.

I've mentioned this many times but we drift off the line too easily and don't get far enough behind the mark. Often we are forced to kick under pressure from a free kick which is just incredible.

Well 2 years ago it was us playing like Brisbane.

A lot of players out today

Fix our defence and get a second ruck who can play up fwd and we will be definate finals players.

If you listen to the usual's then, yes, but you know better Nasher.

Believe it or not, it is possible to win easily and not play well...

We are clearly a class or two above Brisbane but some of the decision making has been nothing short of baffling. Skills are up a bit on last week though.

    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

    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
