Key forwards are handy, but both this VFL side and their senior side show why its far more important to have midfielders that run both ways.

If you can win the ball and move it quickly you'll get scoring shots rather slow movement and bombing to a key forward thats got 3 players on him.

Completely pounded in the ruck. Rather have Minson than Spence and if your 184 or under you need to have a tank and be quick.

We have slow moving midgets and have had them for years.

Memo to Goodwin the game is now a super quick running game.

    Is this the worst they've played all year? So much for finals experience!

    Grimes not up to VFL standard let alone AFL. 

    Spencer getting flogged. 

    Mitchie not up to it. 

    Newton not up to it  

    Ben Ken has had a shocking second half of the year

    Really sorry to say it but a number of players today signed their own delist papers at the dees and probably killed their chances of being picked up by another club.

    Game over. 10 goal loss coming up. [censored] hell what a let down. Best team all year and that get completely outplayed and not bothering to try. Work rate this quarter has been some of the worst I've seen. They've had double the amount of possessions AND double the amount off tackles. That's pure work rate and is unacceptable at any level.

    Very, very disappointing way to end the season. Feel bad for the players actually contributing.

    36 points down? [censored] me I saw this coming. Not enough casey boys who can carry the Melbourne boys who can't play at Etihad

    Casey have no run at all. Hand balling too often to stationary players only a meter away then stop prop hand ball to another stationary target.

    Apologise for everything. Newton - gone. Ben Ken - gone. Michie - gone. Jones - gone.

    Kennedy won't be gone, but Grimes, Garland and Dunn should be. Trengove's finished as well. 

    I think this says a little bit about the Bulldogs game plan and ours. We're going to need quite a few more gears. It's like watching Melbourne being opened up.

    Dogs just want the ball. Casey don't, they just want it to stop.

    Can't hit targets by foot often enough either....too many hackers

    Can't remember seeing so many missed tackles.

    Dogs have some bloody quick players on their books. 

    Agreed, but they've skew their list to one ground which is always played under one condition. 

    Lets see if it catches up with them next weekend.

    A Jong, Honeychurch or Hrovat would all add something to the Melbourne list.

    We have to many one paced midfielders, we need to nail this draft with some outside runners who aren't afraid to win their own ball.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
