Besides Ryan and Kelly, anyone else think that looked more like rugby? Great win WCE. Dees, Giants, Saints choking it up

    Extraordinarily poor loss by St Kilda.

    Were gifted the win at the selection table with all those West Coast outs, AND McGovern pulling a hammy before half time.

    St Kilda, Essendon and Melbourne kind of remind me of each other.

    Clean players that can kick and a ruck that hits the ball to dangerous spots, that was the difference

    Great pressure goal by Kennedy in the last quarter. Can't help but like him. Honest no bull****e old fashioned full forward- should get more accolades than he does.

    Fantastic result for our #Bradbury2020 plan. If Saints lose to GWS after we beat them then we’ll take their spot.

    Yes i don’t understand why Max can’t play the same way. Can’t these guys work out set plays during the week. 
    I don’t understand Training at all anymore,  so much theory now.

    Credit where credit is due. The resilience and work ethic of the eagles is something MFC must learn and develop ge I admire them. With so  many injuries and lose McGovern early headed by the saints and they fight back. That is the culture I want to see at Melbourne.

    Nic Nat threatens to take the ball and kick it.

    Makes it much harder to predict and defend. Gives their mids just that little more space

    Gawn in the ruck tends to be traditional and predictable.

    Jackson rucks Nic Nat style so fingers crossed

    A question.

    If we were missing the equivalent players that WC were tonight, could we have produced a come from behind win in ****ty conditions, in a clutch game?

    Mids coach: now gather round and we'll work through some scenarios. Now pretend I'm Max, and say I tap the ball to--

    Viney: Ball? Someone say ball? GIVE ME BALL (he dives on the ball)

    Oliver: NO GIVE ME BALL

    Harmes: NO GIVE ME BALL

    Viney: NO GIVE ME BALL

    Jones: NO GIVE ME BALL

    Brayshaw: NO GIVE ME BALL

    Mids coach: *sigh*

    I refuse to answer such a hypothetical question ?

    Not necessarily,  there is currently a 57 point differential in our percentage. Depending on how much Gws beat them we'd need to win both games by around 9 goals  combined currently.

    Surely the money has to be a dead-eye 55m Daniher bomb after the siren relegating us to 9th after we knock GWS off by 15 goals Sat night.

    Wouldn’t it be nice if we could somehow draft a player like Kelly with a pick in the twenties.

    How far off is our list compared to West Coast, they have a heap of good players on the injury list but I still think they would thrash us.

    I think the real question is why can’t we instead of could we

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
