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: 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.
