What was the point of getting Schache we could have just kept Weiderman, we invest in another premier ruckman & yet win the hit outs but don’t dominate the clearances… is it structure or players not working hard enough 

Weideman indicated he wanted to go, so we managed a trade for Schache to cover for Weideman.

    Which was no surprise as he got absolutely no continuity at senior level. He’s been doing well at Essendon. A change of scenery was definitely good for him. I’m not sure he was going to progress any further at Melbourne. 
     

    I am still mad that we gave up Hunt for nothing.

    So you want to replace our entire forward line with what? Casey’s forward line, so you can then complain about them?

    Seems unlikely to be a successful decision.

    Jeez pf we could have won both games with an ounce of luck or some decent umpiring you can’t write off the whole team. Also based on Casey form the only three deserving players on the weekend were Tomlinson, Schache and Brown.!!!

    Out of that lot I'd drop Spargo, rather give Chandler more opportunity, Nibbler is doing his job imo. I do agree Tmac looks cooked probably give BB one more chance.

    Pickett seems to be second guessing himself as are alot of our players not taking the first option and stopped playing on instinct.

    WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

    While we are at it let’s drop Petracca. I’m sick to death of him missing goals. Trash player. Directly to Casey and would trade for a third rounder.

    I reckon I’m just sentimental because he was one of my favorites and I feel badly for him because he was so close to winning a flag, and never wanted to leave the club. 

    I know rationally that he’s just an ok player and would make no difference to our team currently. 
    But watching him play for that abomination of a side, is very sad.

    Milkshake stared in our last gasp victory against the blues last year. 

    Our form seemed better when he was in the side early in the year.

    Out of all the players that left last year it's Hunty the one that I feel for the most. Baker or Weids I couldn't give a stuff about.

    Had he not done his ankle we would be talking about a premiership player.

    Unfortunately he's now playing for a trash WAFL club which to me just doesn't look or feel right after all the [censored] years he went through.

    Depends on  whether Melbourne again wants to look like a football version of a banana republic. Thankfully those days appear to be over.

    I really feel for Milkshake. In the finals last year he was essentially our main man down forward and his main strength - excellent kicking - just disappeared. He could have been the key.

    Carlton love to attack through the corridor and quickly, they also like to switch the play (our Achilles’ heels).

    We need to study the Blues vs Lions game earlier in the year. Brisbane denied them the corridor at all costs and so must we.

    I've read this four times. I might be misunderstanding your point, but don't these two statements contradict each other?

    An additional tall defender must come in. I guess it has to be one of Tomlinson (most likely) or Smith or Schache. I'm not a huge fan of any of those gents, but Lever can't play on McKay or Curnow. As has been said repeatedly, he's not a particularly good one on one defender. He needs to be the third man up/inteceptor.

    Found myself screaming “YOU’RE NOT THAT GUY” at Harmes on too many occasions last Saturday 

    Apart from the goal that Fritta gifted him everything else was error ridden. 

    Having another look at the replay, ANB gave him a run for his money as well. Both liabilities.

    They aren’t experiments they have shown enough, maybe they need tests but both of them have had impacts across their lines

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
