He was poor today plain and simple did not mater how tall he is. I said nothing about his height.

the simple fact is he did pull his wait.

First year player who is clearly showing the signs of having played too many games. Badly in need of a rest.

Fair call od ! I reckon he was running out of petrol tickets a couple of weeks ago. And yes, size does come into it. He's only 18 and has yet to muscle up or develop core strength. I would have doubts about his current ability to withstand the rigours of a final.

Give him time though.

I thought all 22 did well.

Tyson was good, so I'll put that down to the usual tiresome sledging he cops.

Spargo wasn't bad, but wasn't good either. His spot could be up for grabs going into finals if the likes of Garlett really get going again, but I'm beginning to lose faith that could happen.

Watching Jeffy yesterday he doesn’t look interested, wouldn’t surprise if he pulls pin or we trade

Bought this up before he got selected again, take a 2nd rounder and be done with it.

A lot of us said he needed the rest and JKH should have played instead.

They ran the ball out of our forward line without any pressure and that was his role and ANB's.

Spargo as I said before will be a good player for us.

As for ANB he is a game killer for us. His turnovers and fumbles are so momentum shifting.

I don't know about his grunt work I hardly saw him lay a tackle, or get close to an opponent, except when he had the ball and then turned it over.

Anyway well done guys you deserve your finals chance after a very good year.

Win next week and we get the chance to pay back the Cats on the G.

I usually agree with your views, but you are really wrong about nibbler.

I don't want JKH back on the side & Garlett 2 they do bugger all

Harmes - MFCs most underrated 

Seriously, this guy is becoming a champion. He has been smashing top end opposition players and getting heaps of his own footy. I am a massive fan, he has taken the biggest leap of the players on our list this season.

Will Viney be fit for the 1st Final?

They say so I hope so.

I though spargo lost us the game last week against the Swans and almost this week through his inexperience. This can’t happen in finals. For me, Jesse Garret needs to come in for him.

There were 21 other players on the field against the swans with more experience who wasted the opportunity. Poor post to blame Spargo for that collective debacle.

Did you see him turn the ball over 7 times last week against the Swans and drop a crucial easy mark and have 14 possies at 50% effectiveness? Did you see him fumble a number of other possible possies? Did you see him get in the way of teammates? 

Did you watch him today turn over several possies? Did you watch him fumble several possible possies?

Look at the DL voting right alongside this post and despite playing every game, he is 19th in the voting, even behind Jeffy, who has only played a few games and been poor this year. Seems like most DL's agree about ANB. In that list of 25 players, IMO he is ahead of only Garlett. 

BTW he is a terrible set shot for goal.

IMO he is the worst player in the side. Yes someone has to be the worst and IMO he is the one. Sorry about that. Just stating an opinion.

I don't blame ANB for his play, I blame those that select him.

In the 3 years after crossing from Carlton he's kicked roughly 40, 30 and 40 goals for us

Then 2018 comes around & he's going like a busted arse - although has still kicked nearly 20 goals

He's just turned 29 and appears to still have his pace

It's be well worth doing some work to find out what the hell went wrong before firing him out of the cannon.

We're not exactly overcrowded with true small forwards

Disagree on Petracca. 0 tackles laid

Petracca is overrated around Mfc.

He gets a lot of latitude given, because of his touted talents.

 

Well I haven't seen him rip-open a game. yet.   Put up, or shut up, tracca.

 

He's more like a little quad bike, than some sort of truck.

A job for our psychologist, should we have one?

He seemed to have checked out after requesting leave to go home late last year for a personal bereivement. When he came back it seemed his heart wasn't in it any more. His only good game was against Brisbane earlier this year.

He has had personal issues for a while, that might be the cause.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
