Iā€™m wrapped we won and great to see Rivers & Kossi give a lot!

But can we stop doing stupid things! Kick out strategy, not selecting Lockhart to pick up opposing small forward! Weideman down, so why not move him for 10 minutes!

We have some top players, Gawn, Petracca, Oliver, May, Langdon and I think Viney is a fun if used the right way, so there is potential, but. Coaching has to improve

    Should go and slap yourself for your comment re team selection wanting us to lose.

    Rate you as a poster but that was poor

    Only in hindsight.

    Brown was poor against Swans

    Disagree with both of these comments bing.

    It was a simply ridiculous decision to drop him for preuss. The fact that was wet justĀ amplified the stupidity of that decision.

    Not just becuase preuss is not a forward and is slow as wet weekĀ but alps becuase Pruess barely left inside 50 and brown gets on his bike and provides options and cover.

    ThatĀ decision was big factor in our inability to stop them crossing and not being able to stop their chains of uncontested possessions.Ā 

    mind melting decision.Ā

    So, tell me again, why did Melbourne have to play in Cairns the last two weeks? The Gabba is our ground!

    It was a nice win against a side with some class, but don't forget that they are a side that dropped their skipper and made 8 changes.Ā  Some young players showed promise.

    I look forward to next week and the bradbury plan continuing

    Proud of the composure showed by the boys in the last 3 minutes. Better than what was going on in our lounge room.

    And that 50m penalty for their first goal was a [censored] joke

    I've said this in another thread, but I don't think Weid has played poorly at all, before tonight.

    Tonight I felt he was outpositioned and unable to work his way into the contest.

    However, we will go nowhere as a club without consistency forward of centre, and we can't rely on any two of Brown, Jackson and Weideman to do it. Weideman's got runs on the board and although he was poor tonight, he goes nowhere for mine.

    Yes for the wanting us to lose, but no for the selection comment.

    Tonight showed why the likes of Melksham andĀ ANB should not be in the team. Its infuriating Melksham continues to get a game with zero defensive pressure all year. Not only that, he gives up goals through stupidity and lack of discipline.Ā 

    I'll cop the losing comment. Won't cop we continue to gift Melksham a game week in, week out.

    I owe Oskar Baker an apology. He was really good tonight.

    Two superb snaps from both sides of his body.

    I recall being in Palm CoveĀ when we drafted Rivers and I started yelling in excitement, as he was the one I wanted for our last pick. People were staring at me.Ā 
    I think I then asked you if you knew much about him as a kid, not about his footy. I said at the time that he could be the best ofĀ the 3 we got and pushed him on DL from that moment on. Yes he could be the best ofĀ the 3 and I am thrilled for him and the great game he played tonight. Pickett played his best game for us too and could have kicked 4.

    Yes great pick up, mate of mine works in development at East Freo, rates him highly

    I'm talking solely about the losing comment Dazzle, all good re issues with selection. I actually don't mind ANB he applies pressure and prevents opposition just waltzing out

    [Censored] me.

    Preuss lays one tackle (after which he tried to kick a goal he had no ability to kick and missed entirely) and gets credit.

    What is it about Demonland and Preuss?Ā 

    Ā 
    Someone gave him sheet for being lumbering and slow.
    I pointed out he was quick enough to catch the bloke who also thought he was lumbering and slow.
    Credit where it was due.
    Never said he was a star and I'm certainly not on the selection committee.
    If I was, Jones would have retired 2years ago and Rivers would have had much more game time this year than he has.

    Fork me alright.

    We cannot simply throw an 18 year in one of the most crucial game of the year straight into the side on the back of a 5 week lay off.

    Stick with Weideman,Ā  he just needs to learn how to get himself out from this rut. Dropping him won't fix that. This is all part of his development into a good power forward.

    • 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. Sundayā€™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 yearā€™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 seasonā€™s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourneā€™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?

      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.
