Whilst he is soft he has talent though, but the reality is he's a third forward not a main guy, if you can improve the forward line he will be more dangerous. 

Agree but boy has he been useless the past few weeks. No effort to run fast to the contest, half-hearted tackles, pathetic! 

 

Just call it off. There's only about 10 minutes left. This doesn't affect anything.

I'm sick of hearing Maynard being booed, kozzie being booed, then we don't have to hear the pies song.

    This season has really done a number on me.. 

     

    We would have to be the softest AFL side.. it’s actually comical watching us sometimes.. how the f$$& Goodwin can keep this sh$t game plan is anyones guess😡😡

    Why? He has been a good player for a long time. Maybe not as good as Jimma but give him a break he has kept at it. Stop having a go at these players who have performed consistently for a long time without injuries.

    Coz he wears the black and white…

     

    Seesh.😳


    Pathetic spineless team. No heart, very little passion and barely any teamwork. Just about the whole lot of them outside of Turner. 

    Extremely disappointed in Viney. 

    I've been saying since it was first flagged on this site that McVee is not a midfielder. It's very easy to understand why.

    Honestly some of our coaching department have no more of a clue than the fools on here that have been asking for it. If anyone should be getting trialled through the midfield it should be Woewoedin. 

    It honestly looked like a VFL vs an AFL side the entire night. One team had skill and understands how to kick to advantage, the other did not and goes out of its way to make scoring more difficult. 

    Terrible way to end a terrible year.

    Trade Salem, soft and overated the last couple of years.

    Come off the grass Mc Donald was extremely competitive. I have bagged Lever , but his organisation skills would have been very handy tonight.

    However I think this was treated as a practice matcxh to try out a new style of play. Unfortunately we were undermanned and unprepared. Collingwood play this running game so it was really difficult for our blokes to be trying something so different. Firstly in this game style you need to be moving more ,not letting using delaying tactics which lets the next level setup properly.

    You have got to have the right personnel to play a particular game style. Collingwood have got it with Daicos 1 & 2 etc.

    There was a game this year where Crisp was sub. Ie 23rd man. So he has not really had the consecutive games under the same rules as Jimmy.

    Well, unlike I suspect many of the people on this thread, I have been at the game. All our best midfielders were out. Lever and May were not playing. Free kicks were 3 to one in their favour. We made some terrible errors, but I think our players did their best and I'm not going to criticise them.

    I’d do it but I seriously doubt Port would.

    Port probably would just to [censored] over the crows.

    McDonald has been fine, I just think why not look to the future in the KEY DEFENCE part of the ground as well, so we don't get to the middle of next year and again be swinging a defender like Petty or Turner back into defence, because 1 or 2 of our 3 X 32/33 YEAR OLD KPD's are injured. Then we're on the backfoot again reshuffling our forward line and defence.

    Look to the future NOW

    Well, him and most of the rest of the black and white are showing how far we are away with the skills side of things. Nothing has improved with our disposals. The kids need a big off season and show some improvement next year. Kolt runs around like a chook with his head off and I see no skills, pace in the team at all. BIG off season required.

    Fritsch and ANB for Rachele and a second rounder

    completely agree we should throw away our most prolific goal scorer over the past 5 years. Also our most skilled played along side Kozzi

    He is never going to be a hard man. He is our finisher. When we play well he looks great like the 6 he kicked in the GF

    Surely the lightning would find the highest point, in which case Max would be in grave danger.

    It wouldn’t be Mason, can’t stand tall sinking the knees in.

    Doesn't matter if the security people get hit by lightning apparently.  They're all standing out on the ground.

    I was there as well. No issue with endeavour but our skills are terrible.

    Imagine if GC and St Kilda both lose.

    We lose dismally tonight.

    They’ll suspend Kozzie for 4.

    We don’t go up in the draft order.

    We get a 7-12 fixture as opposed to 13-18.

    Happy days.


     

    Even I have not got the mental fortitude to stay to the end of this

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      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.
