Sometimes I think MFC has shares in a medical practice specialising in thoracic surgery and depression. 
 

Well my doctor is a melbourne member and said we spend a $$$$ on depression pills?

    I'll obviously take the word of some on here over that, so going by someone like titan, whose view on a game I trust, he gave us nothing. 

    Not quite true. I generally agree with @titan_uranus on Smith in that he's not a footballer, but he actually made a number of good spoils and rebounded off his man a number of times in the first three quarters. I wouldn't have him in my team, but he probably played his best defensive game ever today.

    Put the cue stick in the rack at 3rd qtr time and pulled it back out for the last 5 mins.

    Thanks again to the AFL for making us play 15 games straight without a bye and scheduling 2 games cramned in Cairns in abhorrent conditions.

    Wouldn't happen to a Geelong, Collingwood, Carlton, Richmond would it. 

    Phark you'se where it hurts.

    Mitch brown 20 disposals and 13 marks..  this is the guy who was out of the side all season when we have been crying out for a big forward.

    Our selection committee is pure rubbish.

    It could be worse. You could be Essendon watching a player they delisted play like that against them.

    Melksham nowhere. What is his role? What happened since 2018?? Very lazy

    Really needs to be addressed Im afraid.

    To think the bloke was given a captains birth in one game.

    Had more chances than Tmac.

    Don't leave out his perfect hand pass to the Essendon player in that last quarter.

    We need a Power Forward desperately.

    As many problems as Hogan had he was a Powerhouse in the forward line who took all the pressure off by crashing packs and taking clunk marks.

    Eddie McGuire has to be the worst commentator of all time.

    His job is to call the play.

    Instead we get a combination of cheering for the underdog, umpire bashing, expert analysis, lame Collingwood references, and snide remarks to an entire supporter base. Every time he's on.

    He can [censored] right off.

    You can add in self congratulation

    If Freo get up I hope we bring Jackson in to provide some X-factor and a foil for Weideman up forward.

    It'd be great too to see May play his first ever final.

    Our second tier players  in Hunt, ANB, Brown, and the youngy's in Rivers and Kossi  kept us in it.

    Petrac, Clarry, , Langdon and Gawn   stood up as usual.  However  Lever had a great game IMO he steadied the ship all day.  Held the backline together while May was his usual best defending stoutly.

    That really was The Salem that we all loved.

    Made a big difference.

    I think he and Jetta not like they used to be has been a big difference since 2018.

    Them and Hogan, Tmac and Garlett  scoring a bag load of goals.

    On the positive we now have AA  May, Langdon, young and young Rivers.

    Fix Frittas kicking and pick up a proven 40 plus goaler and we could be in business next season.

    As I said, I wouldn't have him in my team, but I don't think it's fair to say he didn't do his job in the first three quarters. For the most part, he did.

    If we make finals Weideman should be dropped for LJ.

    so SAY we qualify and play away to Weagles

    Smith stays in due to their height unless we role the ball on Hore?

    vandenberg makes way for Harmes who trains the house down?

    ANB makes way for the Jones fairytail?

    Melky did not do enough to keep out Jackson to match their aerial power?

    theyre the calls we have to make

    It was a decent win in a must-win game.  Essendon have talent and they've gone 12-10 the last 3 years.  Notable that we've gone 6-4 since the compressed fixture while they've gone 1-1-8.  They were going to get momentum at some stage and to play the all out attack they needed gave us opportunities out the back which we took.  We won 68-49.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
