So happy for Melksham. 
When he finishes up playing, I hope we keep him on in a coaching role (maybe forward coach)

    We are so Dr Jekyll and Mr Hide with our goal kicking, we either can't miss or we miss the easy ones 😅😅

    god there are some miserable [censored] on the game day thread... would you take a 50 point win? Yeah... but, I'll [censored] whinge about it not being enough, and some players haven't done enough.

    nah nah, I just expect a lot from my team and want to see consistent improvement.

    Anyway

    Youngsters keep doing well.

    We don't seem to be toooo predicitable as per the earlier thread this week.

    Battened down the hatches in the 4th.. but you can spin that narrative that because we're not in the 8, you need to continue and put the 'foot on the throat' to be deemed to be worthy by some supporters vs being in the 8, and it was a day at the office and responsible.

    Good win especially when the youngsters were the better players. Still big question marks over Oliver and Sparrow, as well as our backline.

    Bring on the Injectors next week.

    the boys did amazingly, especially the kids. Second halves could use some tidying up still but super proud of them.

    Standouts in rivers, windsor, kolt and JVR and theyre all 22 or under!

    Bring on the Dons, we've got this.

    Nice win and some great improvement in structure.

    Windsor's game was enormous and bodes well for the future.

    Next few weeks will be telling

    Loved what I saw from the young kids. Kolt, Windsor and Roo fantastic. 

    Last quarter without Max was always going to be a battle. Anyone know what’s wrong with him?

    They mentioned he tweaked his ankle. Nothing serious, more precautionary.

    We were never going to replicate the 1st quarter for the whole game. Happy with the win and form of our younger players especially. Tholstrup looking like he belongs and Windsor's best game for a while if not the year.

    Hope Gawny sub was just precautionary. Hard to see any changes for next week unless Petty is ready. Woewodin maybe the only one under consideration after 1 touch as the sub but would be a touch unfair probably.

    Has there ever been a backline that cracks the sheets and points at others more than this mob.

    Still historically they're very good

    I liked the fact we look to move the ball quicker and at times through the corridor. The fwd line seemed less congested and we delivered it a hell of a lot better than we normally do. 
     

    TMac should be offered a one year contract for next year.

    Iced the ankle, didn’t look to distraught, would think with 6 day turn around precaution. Wouldn’t be surprised to see crutches/moon boot for a few days and light week for him

    Ankle was being iced when he came off.

    JVR’s post-game interview. What a sweetheart. 

    Did you see his interview this week in the MFC social? (YouTube) 

    Looks like a very mature and down to earth bloke.

    I think we're gonna have a lot of youngsters in the B&F top 10!

    • 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.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
