    We lose by a point and that ends our flag chances? You give in easily not like the team you support.

    joeboy - hatchet out tonight

    jack billings - added some class

    Given the startled deer in the headlights first quarter and the persistence with dry weather tactics in the wet. The club will employ a Maasai dietitian, add blodplatter onto the luncheon menu and use hermatogen as a gameday snack. Tom McDonald can fire up the barbecue but the steaks will be strictly rare. Ben Brown will of course be excused.

    The Waverley Park irrigation technician will bought out of retirement to manage Casey Fields during future training sessions.

    I thought Howes had some good moments, despite being part of a backline that was well beaten in the first. He seems very calm under pressure

    Interesting that a lot of the players who had big games last week were flat.

    Kozzie, Langdon, Lever, Fritta, Petty and Oliver in particular.

    The number of times in the rounds so far that we have scored zero or one or two goals for the quarter Ā  Tells you we have serious attack problems ( as if we did not know) that have not been addressed.

    no finals team with a chance can afford this error we need a dedicated forward coach with ability and expertise in the forward line. This is not to denigrate existing coaches Ā but it is not good enough.

    it is wasting the talents of Gawn Viney Petrarca and Oliver not to mention Salem

    May and Lever Ā  These players were too hard to get to waste. Ā One flag is not enough itā€™s a fail !

    Stafford has had the forward line gig for a while now and has not delivered IMV

    Petracca: Play angry more

    It made me think a bit about the 2002 preseason when Daniher threw Neitz into the ruck and he played physical and angry. From that point onward he was a beast.

    Stafford shouldv have bee delisted after last year even though injuries were a mitigating circumstance.Ā 
    Thought Mini might have turned it around although our entry and some aspects are a lot better than last season. Individual training on forward skills is necessary to get that aspect up to scratch. Itā€™s also the consistency aspect of being ON and able to kick straight.Ā

    21 years old. FFS! Name another key forward his age we had access to averaging more than a goal game. Give the kid a break.

    I thought he was ok last night.Ā  Would love for Fullarton to come in so JVR can actually play a whole game up forward.Ā  From being at the game, seems to start either deep forward or on the bench, about 8 min mark goes into the ruck, does 8 odd minutes in the ruck heads off the ground then gets back on for the last 5 odd minutes each qtr as a forward.

    Never plays our deepest forward, that seems to be Fritsch, which didn't work last night

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, itā€™s no coincidence. Iā€™ll be mirroring the Demonsā€™ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
