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.

    Will at least stop us dump kicking into the forward line.

    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.

    I'm Sold. Milkshake is our Talisman haha

    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.

    How long does Goodwin last if he loses to Voss?

     

    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.

    The Chandler and McVee experiments are probably over.

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

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’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 season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’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.

      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.
