    He is swimming in quicksand. No future.

    Any selection inferences to be drawn, ie who did and didn’t play?

    Bugg played today, as did Hannan and Pedersen.

    The ones who didn't who were named on the Casey interchange on Friday were Hunt, Wagner, Fritsch, Garlett, Vince and Weideman.  I think I've got that right.

    You would expect that Tyson is one inclusion while a few of the ones who didn't play today would be held over as emergencies for Tuesday night.

    Pedo should have been playing for the MFC. Stupid non selection will cost us Tues night.

     We will see how Weed goes. 

    I have it on good authority taht we will make 3 or 4 changes this week.

    If today was a good example of the game plan we are trying to instill across the list then i hope he has a plan B.

    And i'm not saying it was BZ....just saying

    There is NO 'B' .. in MFC :rolleyes:

    Other than Pedo and Spargo, none of the Melbourne listed players showed much. JKH and some of the others who have been around a few years are pure list cloggers who are being kept around for contractual and emergency injury situations. Further culling of the list is needed as we severely lack class. We have far too few good kicks still after all these years somehow!

    Casey seemed to try hard, but with a crowded forward line struggled to make the most of opportunities when going forward. Exactly the same as the AFL team, and it shows our gameplan does not work and needs to change.

    And speed.......

    I think Weide will play Tuesday,,, and I have the feeling TMC will play the following match against the bummers with Weide back at Casey.

    there's no 'A', yet.   experimenting.  searching for the balance;   How can we have a set plan a or b,,, when we aren't yet settled Re best 22, as regulars.

    Its too soon.

    We will make finals without a real setup.  Just not in stone, yet.

    We lost today's game because we got slaughtered n the ruck. Why we gave away Spencer for King and flip I will never know. They cannot cut it at VFL no  hope at senior level. tigers had 90% of first use. We were always trying to recover.

    Cant really say i thought King was thrashed. I couldn't really see either team getting clean hands on the pill from rucking. It just seemed to me when they got the hand-off (sts) they found more air. They took a while to get going , Toiges ....(sounding familiar ) but they got tbeir defenders eadily plucking cherries and throwing the pill back their end...where..(again...deja vu ) we seemed a tad awkwardly slow.

    Not much good to write home about. Pedersen played a good VFL forward game kicking 5 and clunking some good marks. Spargo showed a bit but thought he would have more zip than he showed today. Hannan was in and out of it. Baker did not impress me nor did any of the others. Worth noting that J Smith, T Smith and Balic as well as Hunt and Stretch did not play. That's a fair chunk of run missing from the side. Dion Johnstone looks a bust, I wonder if at some point they dont swing him back as a small defender before the season is done,

    I liked when Hannan played wing - link man, going forward as needed.  Perhaps this is a role for him to develop into?

    Not a great day at the office.

    5 or 6 unanswered goals for us to start the game and then the Tiges for the rest of that quarter and the second quarter.

    Better second half but we were unable to significantly impact the scoreboard and bridge the gap.

    Hard to say who played well but certainly Pedersen, Spargo and Hannan impacted the game. Was it enough to demand selection...maybe for Pedersen and Hannan... depends how their equivalent plays on Tuesday night.

    Although we lost it was not a thrashing. Overall they were physically stronger and taller.

    I often wonder what coaches/tacticians look for in their VFL teams. Wins are nice but in reality it can come down to where you are with your list building, injuries and how much you spend on your back up players. If there is a worrying factor other than Pedersen (and ignoring this years draftees) no one really put up their hand and said pick me. Much the same can be said about the previous games as well.

    That is spot on gents

    And a big man or two who can take a few crucial clunkers around the ground to hold up play at times and try and wrestle back momentum.

    We also lack a general up forward and down back to hit in hard, finish off some good play (up forward) and a voice out on the ground that lets our less experienced guys know we are in the contest and not going away like we did last week.

    Keilty pretty bummed out after the game, copped a fair wack from the Coach.

    He got to a lot of contests I thought, just needs to make more of an impact.

    I didn't think he had a remarkable day...but youd want to think there was a fair few in line before the coach got to him ;)

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
