Can Max win a Brownlow to ease our pain?

Nah, Tom Mitchell the accumulator, with his 45 useless disposals a match will win it!

    Selecting a bloke because he is captain. Clearly u havent watched him in the finals.Given absolutely zero. Rawlings needed to make the tough call and leave him out today. Glaringly obvious.

    Wouldn't happen

    Worried about our depth now...not much from our listed players to be happy about in that match.  Garlett gone, Vince retiring, Bugg gone, White has no idea, Tim Smith not up to it, JKH showed a bit, but that's his level, pedo tries but he's not the future.  Hunt has regressed to the point that he isn't near AFL level.  We don't have much......

    What a joke of a telecast.

    Well that was devastating. We led all day until the 13 minute mark of the last term.

    We did not kick a goal in that final quarter, that will not win you a flag.

    What a crap 24 hrs

    This weekend has turned to shizen. Again the old mental weaknesses that melbourne have are at Casey. We played some dumb footy in second half and showed no poise at all.  Bugg, Garlett and JKH can all go and eff off.

    I thought Josh Wagner stunk up the joint in the 2nd half too. Looks like a lame duck final contract year for him.

    Pittonet was the difference. Gave their mids an armchair ride round the clearances

    Well the Coach played a bloke who didn’t get one possession in the Prelim and guess what, he only managed one today. Worst part is he is the Captain. 

    We can say goodbye to Garlett, Bugg, Smith, McKenna, Pedo, Filipovic and King. Vince has retired and I hate to say it, as I thought he could be anything, but Hunt must be on really shaky ground. He was terrible. We need to bring quite a few new players to improve our list.

    That was a pretty awful coaching performance by Rawlings' and co.

    Pedersen had to ruck most of the last quarter. Without winning it at the source they would never get it to him forward. Using Smith in the ruck for so long was a disaster.

    Fritsch was being dragged deep in the backline. Why not move him on to a wing? He'd help get the ball moving.

    Lockhart wasn't very effective mid/forward, he would've given some drive at half back.

    JKH didn't get thrown in to the midfield despite looking like the cleanest mid to get his hands on it. Munro, Bugg both can tackle and crack in but they could never get a clean possession.

    Not surprisingly Jeff was hopeless but where was the use of him off the back of the square to get him in the game?

    It was yet another victory for Clarko footy over the rubbish we like to play and can't seem to drag ourselves out of.

    Yep you saw it the way I did too, we need to find some depth to progress with the gains of this year, quickly....

    Bugg. Not good enough

    Fritsch. See huge potential

    Pedersen. Call it time 

    Gartlett. Totally lost interest. 

    Jkh. No more please

    Petty. Still just developing

    For those watching on TV how did Keilty look?

    Dominant. He and Petty looked fantastic together and in the second half probably a little less so. I’d want him signed up by the end of the week. 

    Dont know why the hatred for Hunt here. He broke lines, he put his head over the ball and created contests. He also hit tagets which has been one of his big problems. 

    Also Box Hill tightened up on JKH after a rampant first quarter. Didn’t give him any space so not surprising he wasn’t as influential. 

    Garlett was poor, Bugg tried but he’s not the same anymore. McKenna seems some.

    Wagner. Vfl level only - back up 

    Bugg. Not good enough - yep

    Fritsch. See huge potential - scary isn’t it 

    Pedersen. Call it time - we cannot only have 18 year olds playing, Someone goes down we need him

    Gartlett. Totally lost interest. - hoping he resets in the offseason 

    Jkh. No more please - if we don’t keep him, he will play afl somewhere else 

    Petty. Still just developing - lot to like 

    mckenna. We will delist - that is true

    You know things are going badly when your Captain plays a whole GF and has more boundary side interviews than possessions. Add to that Garletts CGAF performance and they played 2 short....at least...

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
