    Carroll - excellent all day? He played very well, but was terrible in the first quarter. Think Robbo did well when the opportunity arose, so his review was harsh. As far as PJ goes, why did we take him off in the last quarter?

    happy to be corrected but wasnt it Carrol who simply moved aqway from the mark allowing grant the easy run around goal?

    Bell - dashing but loose

    Loose? How many goals did his various opponents kick?

    His forward thrust was brilliant today.

    As for Robbo, he had as much influence as he possibly could have given the ball got nowhere near our forwards for 3 quarters. It was a good return match.

    Ward and Brown are symptomatic of Melbourne at the moment. Lots of possessions for no return.

    a lady in front of us was saying brown was one of our best at 3/4 time and then they showed he was leading possestion getter on the ground and was a little smug until we said how many of his disposals have HURT the opposition??

    bizzel and carrol were fantastic today.

    conceding only 8 goals to 3/4 time considering the amount of times the ball went inside 50 was fantastic.

    carrol's marking is strong

    Dont know why brown gets bagged so much

    Thought Miller played ok must get out of habit to h/ball first option.

  • Quote

    im now convinced Miller has amongst the teams worst football brains. takes too long to decide...and then invariably wrong.

    Game thoughts:

    Number one: DO NOT play on when you are under pressure or your teammates are not in the position u will kick the ball to. Too many times players played on and there was noone to mark the ball

    Number 2: DO NOT put other players under pressure. Too many of our experienced guys did this

    Number 3: Tackle

    Number 4: Buzz to line up each week till Bartram returns

    because he doesnt offer anything to the side, cant kick, always takes the bad option and never does anything damaging with the ball

    cant blame Robbo too much...delivery to him was woeful!! bordering on disgusting really.

    we need to go back to basics and learn some fundamental skills of this game.

    Some drongo dees supporter called up MMM after the game to single out players that weren't going to take Melbourne foward to win a flag, and he managed to single out N.Carroll, P.Johnson and S.Grodfrey.

    Not sure what game he was watching, or if he has been watching any lately, but if you visit these boards and are reading this. YOU ARE AN IDIOT!

  • Quote

    Johnson did a good job in the ruck in the last quarter

  • Quote

    Bell wasnt loose and kept the abysmal (on the day) dwards reasonably quiet, though Edwards had chances to kick a few. Wouldnt say that was Godfrey's best game - his man Harvey was influential for the Roos.

  • Quote

    Miller - Oh my God!

    or

    Miller - Please debut Newton!!!

  • Quote

    Miller - Stop handballing it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every time he got the ball he would look around to handball it off and if there wasn't an option he would waste even more time looking for someone to kick too :huh:

    I recon Carroll was best of the defenders...even better than biz

    Bizzell was sensational.

    Bruce played a ripping game, and only made one mistake by foot which is a nice change.

    Neita showed he is still a force.

    McLean will be better for the run.

    Paul Johnson is now miles ahead of Jamar, his tapwork was good today and his impact around the ground absolutely shits all over what Jamar can do.

    Godfrey kept Harvey semi-quiet.

    Jones is just an unreal talent.

    The most ironic thing that happened today was that it was pretty obvious that Frawley needs some time at Sandy to get his game back up to the level it was before he got injured

    Brad Miller - AFL's worst player

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
