    To both. AFL is a tough gig these days. Talent alone doesn't necassarily get you very far.

    Nine years on AFL lists is pretty impressive, even if his career didn't reach great heights. I still don't know what we were expecting from him this year.

    Selecting him over Grundy during the finals was criminal by those involved

    Grundy asked not to be selcted. He was out the door

    Sad that it didn’t work out for Josh and for us, but it didn’t. 
     

    Does that mean that FullArton will get another year (maybe he does anyway but I am unsure of his contract status)?

    Yep, he's got another year to go for his contract.

    3 AFL Clubs so clearly very close. Thank you Josh, I had high hopes we could help unlock what was needed for you to be a regular contributor. Best of luck in your future endeavours.

    No the worst mistake was not using Schacky from about 5 mins. Before 3/4 time instead of Tmac. 

    The use of the Sub rule even in the GF in 2021 was sad ( like Heppell’s goodbyes at Marvel)  and Simon has not improved in 3 years further. In fact it needs a Royal Commission!!!

    Having the all of around five gamer Laurie as the sub when Gus went down wasn't exactly a great move.

    The bloke had zero experience but chosen for a final.  Still boggles the mind.

    Not sure what Goody was thinking then.

    That was when only medical subs could be used. Harmsey tried to fake an injury to get Jordan on. Should have tried harder.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      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, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ 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.
