joeboy great start to the season, agree with much of your pithy triplets. Reality is a dish best served up cold.  A trifle harsh on Judd McVee (Jekyll and Hyde). Some excellent moments with a few diabolical lapses. Ed Langdon on my viewing had a (blue colour performance).

MFC. Insipid, uninspired, sheethouse

billings/ Windsor/Howes.

Not the best/worst

Very balanced comments after a loss Joeboy. Sometimes there is nothing positive after a loss but not in this report. Good work Joeboy.

Schace - never again please

I'm not one to bag players, and was more than happy to be open to the idea schache might be OK.

But as we saw with weed, if a player hasn't got instinctive grunt and fire they rarely can develop it.

Slippery night, so the talls get a pass on marking, but his lack of second efforts and inability to hold his ground are woeful.

Both were on display in a contest where Grundy marked on the wing, on his chest. Weak effort by schache. They got a goal as a result.

And those attributes means it hard to see him making it as a second ruck.

Let's dump on Schache

Yay!! A whipping boy!!

I just did/was.

But you make a fair point.

There were plenty of others who played worse.

Langdon was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise horrid night.

Except for his kicking. 

Well I thought Shache was good vs Carlton, but a week is a long time in footy so here goes

Shache Only in emergency

Spargo 97 lucky games

Laurie Back to Casey

Chandler Back to Casey

Sadly we will see him again.

It's what happens when key fwds are out from serious injuries for several seasons and the club just sits around doing nothing about it.

Oh sorry we recruited Grundy for a season. My bad.

Really think we need more from Nibbler.

He seems to have lost a lot of his form.

As has Langdon, Lever and Rivers.

Time for Chandler to find himself at Casey and Laurie should never have left them.

I'm hearing you, but to be fair to Schache, Grundy cannonballed into him and he's much bigger and stronger

He's not a 2nd ruck

And while we're on it, Grundy ran into Gawn ALL night and Gawn did nothing to allay the tactic

Dumb play or dumb coaching?

I think this is the most glaring example of the club/coach/captain’s stubbornness I’ve ever seen.

Grundy rendered Gawn almost useless from the very first bounce and we had absolutely nothing up our sleeve to rectify it.

Dumb play

Lever - an absolute stinker

Laurie - can not execute

Viney - the umpires friend

Howes - an excellent debut

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
