A crucial game for Goodwin in my opinion. He’s 7-9 since the North win in round 10 last year and coming up against a team and coach he ostensibly can’t beat. This despite every man and his dog co

C’mon guys… where’s the positivity???  I woke this morning (earlier than I wanted thanks to Langers crowing at the top of his voice. Langers of the feathered variety, that is 😁). I was brimming w

We actually won the clearances in the 2nd but got smashed with our ball use.

Sparrow's the one for me in the middle that needs to get going.

Jv looks a little off, agreed.

Yes forgot about Sparrow.  His reaction time looks pedestrian against the best clubs at times under heat.

Needs to speed things up and drive those legs out of congestion more.

Petty needs a block of games to see if he can settle in.  Switching him back now is pointless as you're admitting defeat before you've given it a decent go.

Ok so if we're up by 15 plus with 3 minutes to go that's diff.  Then you might throw him (among others) behind the ball

I think throwing him back for match ups is ok.

They have 3 tall forwards, although only started with two on field. If we put him back to cover the third, I've no problem with that change, wouldn't think it was admitting defeat.

Its nothing to do with that its the clearance battle and the cleaner ball theyre getting into forward 50 vs our spasmodic clearances and dirtty ball going in thereafter.

The day we can spread from a clearance then drive it forward finding a leading forward almost directly in front on occasions will be a refreshing change.

Chandler, Spargo & Tracc really need to get on their bikes big time in this second half.

JV's in pretty bad form so far.  Looks sluggish, trying to do too much and getting caught....alot.

P.S. Kozzy out is such a killer. 

 He should go back to late season 21 where his first option was pass it off he has gone back to captain tackled he doesn't have good footy IQ.

Death, taxes and the person that wants to tell everyone if you read the gameday thread you wouldn't know we're in front. 

And people complaining about Clarry not being damaging enough despite having heaps of it, leading our metres gained and contested possessions and scored involvements including kicking a couple of goals.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
