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.

No interviews or cup presentation shown

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.

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....

Vince. Retired on time

Hunt.  At the crossroads

Keilty. Promote to AFL-list

Tsmith. Vfl level only

Wagner. Vfl level only

Bugg. Not good enough

Fritsch. See huge potential

Pedersen. Call it time 

Gartlett. Totally lost interest. 

Jkh. No more please

Petty. Still just developing 

mckenna. We will delist

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.

Hunt.  At the crossroads - cannot be serious  

Keilty. Promote to AFL- agreed  

Tsmith. Vfl level only - good back up 

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...

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
