    In my 100% honest opinion I'd say we are a 10th place side. A perfectly average team. Nothing more, nothing less. 

    I’d argue less.

    Surely a Bedford couldn't do worse.

    But it really is like switching witches hats at the moment.  We don't really have anyone better than ANB in the magoos right now.

    but could he play whatever ahem role Brayshaw is currently not playing very well?

    Tracc has had two times he should have kicked for goal from 55, went for the pass and stuffed both up. 
    He’s had 7 touches and I know he’s not on his own, but Dusty he ain’t. 

    He's been quiet these last couple of games.


    One of my daughters, a keen Harry Potter fan, reckons the umps are under the Imperius Curse. A few Snape-like Crows fans with wands in the crowd, shouting ‘imperio’! As good a theory as any.

    Adelaide are absolute puss. They are easily the poorest team in the competition right now and we’re just fluffing around  with it. If we don’t come out with some killer instinct in the second half and put this game to bed, this game and season is dead.

    Yep, we have the players to just run right through these soft clowns but they just aren't really interested.

    I expect no likes ...because most of you guys would be happy for the big H to fail.

    Not me

    I'm not happy to see any Melbourne player fail.

    However, the bloke looks very, very timid tonight.  He needs to lift the urgency and contribute more.

    Brayshaw is like the kid who's old man drags to play footy and he's picking the daisy's from the grass.

    Doesn't give a phark.

    Yeah the umpiring sucks.

    But let's talk about us.

    We suck more.

    We're barely up in CPs and down in clearances to the 0-9 basket case whose biggest weakness is their midfield.

    Gawn isn't dominating hit outs, so maybe that's impacted our ability to get on top in the middle. Who knows.

    I can't stand vandenBerg's OTT faux aggression. His free reversal is inexcusable.

    ANB and Bennell are giving us nothing, and without Hannan and Pickett we have no forward 50 pressure.

    And WHY is Brayshaw playing? 4 touches, spending time on the bench. I just don't get it. What is the point?

    I think most on here could play the role Gus is playing right now.  I'd be a chance of getting four touches to half time.

    And people still rate our mids? 

    Im rating JV.

    Trac having a bad night.


    We would struggle to get a third round pick for Brayshaw at the moment.

    3rd in the Brownlow two years ago. How in the...

    Goody pre match presser where improving and he has a plan for a premiership. There are more than half this side that are not AFL standard. It is so sad after seven years of a rebuild where back where we started. 

    How's this for a number:

    11 of our 'players" have had less than 5 disposals.

    Bennell 1.

    Are they actually doing any training while in these hubs? Or is it all golf and surfing? Skills are deplorable.

    We're seeing two bottom 3 or 4 teams tonight. It is depressing how terrible we've become.

    Crowns have 9 changes and multiple first gamers. Mind you we have an almost pristine injury list. This is the worst Crows side in their history and comfortably the weakest list in the league atm.

    And yet we are staring down the barrel of a loss.

    Unforgivable.

    True, but at least I won't have to watch that [censored] Ben Brown do it.  I couldn't handle that.

    • 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.
