Once the mark from behind has grey area attached (which is what the AFL did with the undue interference ruling) then we're going to get inconsistent outcomes.

I blame the AFL not the umpires.  Why do we keep making it harder for the umpires?  Baffling really.

Leave the ruling as it was and it's a mark every day of the week. 

Apart from all that we have been atrocious anyway.  With zero excuses.

It was technically the correct decision - you're no longer allowed to use the underside of your boot to launch off the opponent's body - the Toby Greene rule

    I am wondering how much Gawn flatters our view of our midfielder possessions and ability. Any midfielder is going to get possessions with Gawn rucking but the heat needs to go onto the way the midfielders use the ball from those possessions. Oliver has probably had 20 and has done no damage and embarrassingly Collingwood are probably content to give him those 20. I remeber in Olivers first few years he used to handball to create space for the player to run into now, being well and truly in sync with  our game plan he handballs to the first and closest target.

    T Mac needs to go Casey for his own good. Something is not right. 

    May looks very good. 

    Gawn and Salem very good.

    Job on the line Goodwin, sorry but it is....

    You will get torched for suggesting it but I think he's struggling big time.

    Stocks have plummeted.

    To all the posters blowing a fuse, it's only footy fellas.  And I've followed this mob since 1965.

    I saw 64. pretty hard to put up with this. No questioning the effort (on the whole), but we don't look like scoring

    Interesting we have used only 34 interchanges opposed to Collingwoods 44 rotations. Wonder what that’s about?

    Both key forwards are completely useless once the ball hits the deck.  It's like having two men down in our forward half when it does.

    And neither of them can take an overhead mark

    Or kick a goal!!   Why are we playing them???  ??

    still time to turn this around. we just need to improve our disposal efficiency, it is woeful at the moment.

    May up forward. 

    I have been defending Weid too long.

    Weid has attacked the contest and at least done his job. Tommy Mac need to go back to Casey...

    Along with Trac, May is probably our best.

    Without him we would be at least 6 down.

    Needs to stay down back.

    Frost concussion - one rotation down

    What's with Frost?

    He came back on from head knock...

    Went off 10 mins later for concussion test and ruled out of the match

    The coaches have to take responsibility for this rabble surely. There is something deeply wrong.

    Agree Chook. Something is wrong with the club internally. Has the coach lost some of the players? It’s just not right.

    Positives: winning centre clearance 8-2.  Gawn having the better of Grundy.  Oliver playing well.

    Negatives: skill level is deplorable.

    Petracca has been good, even very good. If others were able to take advantage of his work, would look even better.

    On the negatives, not sure how Hunt keeps being given a pass. People banging on about Spargo, but Hunt has done next to nothing today, as most days (apart from the odd cameo). Same with Hannan. OK, Hannan, benefit of the doubt for the long layoff, but if you look at what's happening with both of the H's, and you look at what's happening up the other end of the ground ... night and day.

    Again, probably our best today.

    He's been sure with his hands, taken good options and is our only forward that give the opposition 2nd thoughts.

    Why if he is so good, he cant play in the centre? .I prefer Brayshaw, Harmes and Clarry so far. They have the tank to play in the middle. Not fit enough, me thinks. look forward to your votes.

    Would this help at all?

    Braydon Preuss 1 goal 3 behinds 13 kicks 6 handballs 19 disposals 6 marks 6 tackles 40 hit outs 140 dream team points

    His one decent game for the year at Casey.

    Frost is out for the game...concussion.

    We don't have the numbers to keep interchange up.

    We should argue who is our worst. Spargo, daylight, Hannan and Hunt.

    No way rj.

    2 disposals......no marks.....no goals for a half

    Unfortunately the club culture has been busted since Norm smith left (and probably before).  We should have kept Roos and Jackson around to see the culture really evolve.  As it is we went for a bloke to run the club in Pert who tests the culture in all the wrong ways and we have a coaching staff that’s weaker than last year.  All bad decisions but the MFC is outstanding at making those.  We are reaping the benefits of those decisions now.  Send them to Tassie and put Melbourne out of its misery.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      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.
