WTF How does Oscar Mc Donald get a game on very average form at Casey and not playing last week?? Beggars belief!!

ANB double WTF sheeeit we Must be tanking? shocking!

Tim Smith did little last week and I was there!!

If Hore, Dunkley and Weeds are fit and named as Emergencies

FRIGGEN PLAY THEM!!

This is absolute Garbage MFC 

Sheesh, Just ....Unbelievable really!

Thank Heavens I can't go , but we will be Flogged!

The Club decision-makers are obviously hell-bent on mediocrity. Something is very stupid about these selections and the circumstances with May on the ground late in the last game. The 'Ins' should be 'Outs' and the gaps in the team are widening. Is Goodwin (and Coy.) the right guy/s?

    In-form Oscar?? When was that??

    Truth! I'm sorry I missed in-form Oscar, he sounds pretty handy, unlike the spud who is never anywhere near his opponent/the ball.

    I'll be sure to look out for him this week.

    Yay. Another game, another loss. I will say right up until game time that I won't watch but I will.  Just like a rubberneck at a car crash.  I know I shouldn't look but I can't stop that morbid curiosity that we as MFC fans succumb to at our own peril.

    Disappointing to lose May for this game as l was looking forward to him playing However never mind as Tim Smith will play his game and end up injured which will be no surprise. We will welcome back May next week for T Smith. One or the other is in or out.

    Why can't Marty get back into the side? That is Bizarre!

    This year can't  end quick enough. SPARE ME..............

    Relax everyone. Omac is going to have his best month of his career and then help net us Ed Langdon for pick 20

    I'm still stunned by this team (not in a good way).

    Why are we doing the same things? I would have thought OMac is in the pile of 'tried, but didn't work out' decisions?

    At this juncture of the season, being second last, we should be doing different things! Hell, play the mascot out back, I don't care, at least it's not the same cycle of crap. 

    It must be me, but I see a loss, the same guys go out, Wagners, ANB, etc, then we lose again, and they're brought back, like we've forgotten how poorly they played just a fortnight ago.

    To be fair, at very rare times this year one of the Wagners did ok, but I can't tell which is which.

    We should be trying things, and sticking with the kids, we can't expect them to play well after a game (like Dunkley). Hell, most of their mates aren't even playing well!

    With Lever, Frost, Hibberd and Jetta in the side, you would like to think OMac will be a non-factor.  He can play the second or third tall role for us which will keep him, generally, out of harms way.  We know he is okay at most things so hopefully he can do that for us this weekend.

    The other two outs aren't surprising, and I'm excited to see Baker back in the side, and I think Tim Smith straightens us up a little going forward more than a Preuss would.  I think Smith, Petty and Fritsch can work well down there together.

    Hope that Oskar can gives us something as the performance at Marrara was about as convincing as Paul Rowland v Peter Hudson back in the dark dark ages...

    Oh joy Omac is back. 

    Preuss still should be in the side to develop the chemistry with Max. I know Preuss form wasn’t great last week but most of team has been pathetic for the season so it makes no difference  

    Our season is dead so I don’t  see the point in not playing them together this season so that next season they can hit the ground running.

    This season has been abysmal and an absolute waste of a season. 

    I cant wait for it to end. That’s how much fun our team is to follow. 

    He’s too slow to play against the saints, we need a smaller more agile team to match up correctly, they cut us to ribbons early this year,  dropping Pruess is the right call. Amazing JKH isn’t a call up, clearly his papers are stamped.

    Get ready for a king [censored] whuppin from The Aints. Pick 2 is all but ours unless the AFL donate it to the Suns.

    Which looks like it will head that way according to reports.

    We have to delist a few players at the end of the year.  JKH, who is out of contract, makes sense as being one of those.  If that decision has been made then there is zero sense in playing him.  That's why they'll go with the likes of Baker instead.

    Oscar back = put Membry down for minimum 5 goals. 

     

    Again...

    I would say 10 for Membry. What a ridiculous decision to have Omac in the side. I am not being anti him but he has done nothing to warrant selection. Would have kept Lockhart in the side.

    Mate the way this season has gone and team selection I am struggling to have any faith in the coaches and their choices.

    Posters said that last week, too.  

    We generally play Marvel well and the Saints, apart from getting a 'dead coach bounce' last week, aren't all that flash.  I can't see them smashing us or even getting close to doing that.

    Nah .... just be changed on the MFC website to 4 - 6 weeks.

    Incredibly Sportsbet have Demons as favourites. I've put a little something on the Saints.

    I've backed against Demons most weeks. Needless to say I'm way, way ahead. Money for old rope!! (I hope I lose my money, but virtually never do.)

    The hyperbole here is next-level ridiculous.  Save the bemoaning our loss until after the match.

    Dees by 20.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • 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?
