The AFL can't afford them to be down for much longer.

Brayshaw was pretty much a PP. I don't have a problem with Brisbane getting assistance. I just hope they don't interrupt our window. Rockliff leaving and maybe even Schache would be handy.

On the surface it looks as though they've drafted well and with Beams, Christensen and a few others you reckon they will bounce back reasonably quickly.

The AFL essentially based the assistance on the mass walk-out a few years ago of Polec, Yeo, Docherty, Karnezis et al.

    Wow. That attempted 'tackle' by the Bont was unforgivable a couple of moments ago.

    Wow what a scoreline. Im in shock. Brisbane are flying. Wonder if they can sustain it. But yes straight kicking is very important. The dogs fans would be sitting there going nuts at the behinds.

    Bulldogs must lack leaders, and surely Beverage is under pressure now. Did the Bulldogs get his appointment wrong?

    Is it the fault of the fitness and Sports Science staff at clubs, that senior AFL players cannot kick goals in pristine weather conditions. 

    It is a problem getting worse...

    I am in admiration of all those on here who still have an interest in AFL outside of the MFC.

    Good work fellas I wish I was still that interested.

    I'm as serious as the meladrama on here after we don't kick straight.

    ?

    Fair enough sometimes you cannot tell on here about being serious or not. I mean look at the crap Clarko is copping and people saying they should trade Rioli. So my apologies. 

    Dogs are coming back only 13 points down. I suspect a few things were told to them at 1/2 time. I suspect the dogs will win this. But I have been a boyd defender but geez when will he impact himself on a game? Yes I know he did in last years GF but he has only taken the 2 marks and kicked the 1 goal. He needs to do a lot more.

    It must be amazing for the confidence when you know you'll never ever be pinged for incorrect disposal/throw.

    They do get a fair run don't they FITB.

    And I may well be the only one who's over the whole 'Bob Murphy the Bohemian' bit. I get it, he's a different cat. Dime a dozen in Yarraville.

    That 50 was exactly what happened to Watts last week and we got no 50.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
