    Don't forget about Ben Holland - has Rocca's measure.

    Well done ND - you deserve that big smile

    Very good win although it was disappointing we didn't give them an absolute hiding after that dominant 1st term.

    Couple of observations -

    Ward - his disposal is crap and I think its a travesty that he gets a game in front of CJ. To his credit though, in the 2nd half he played some good man-on-man footy and didn't turn it over quite so much

    Frawley - doesn't offer the team really aything at all at this stage and should be developed at Sandy. He's not up to AFL standard by a long shot. Lost count of the number of times he was run down from behind. He appears slow both in pace and his decision making.

    Bruce - Where do I start, the guy is a Flake of the highest order and despite his BOG antics of last week, turns in such a shocking effort today that it boggles the mind. If this guy is made captain in front of McLean I'll be livid.

    McLean - a gun pure and simple and so important to the team.

    Jones - a future superstar

    McDonald - the cosumate pro, very valuable to the team.

    Robbo - a star and a showman

    Petterd - doesn't have enough penetration in his kicking yet, but looks the goods at AFL level (unlike Frawley at this stage)

    Davey - becoming a close runner-up to Bruce in flakiness. Had a down day.

    PJ - good luck trying to win your spot back in the team Jamar.

    and finally

    Wheatley - more of that for the rest of your career please. Played fantastically.

    A great win. I reckon we've got a chance at winning the next 2 at least and setting up for a tilt at 8th spot by season's end.

    Holland- made rocca look like a clown

    That he did....awesome job but lucky not to give away about 4 frees.

    The Melbourne Football Club- Proud owners of Collingwood since 2004! :D

    There is nothing better than beating those filthy, whingy Pies.

    McLean, Bell, Jones, Sylvia, Ricky and Bate. They are the future of this club, and they leave me very very confident of the future.

    Brock McLean is just.... words cannot describe his awesomeness!!!

    I actually thought Frawley was quite good today, I'm happy for him to stay in the team

    Bruce's disposal was absolutely shocking, embarassing. Why the hell would play him forward? I'd trust my grandmother more in front of goal

    Bate was terrific, can't see Miller getting that CHF position back any time

    Of course Robbo was a star and I love him. :wub:

    Godfrey's right foot goal was the highlight, can someone please put it on youtube?

    It sure was sweet looking at the filth's faces after the game :D

    I really like Jone's style of play. No I love it. He's hard at the footy and has a good footy brain.

  • Quote

    I thought Frawley did well and we must persist with him.

    It's a shame that Petterd's kicking today was poor, because he does everything else so well.

    Jonesy and Brock are the perfect midfield duo. Nothing better than seeing Jonesy dive onto a pack and feed it out to McLean.

    But my favourite goal of the day was when Sylvia took them on and kicked it to Bater who kicked the long goal. That was awesome.

  • Quote

    people should understand....

    Frawley will not be good next season unless he plays this season. tall defenders need experience!

    we know he is tall and quick...he will get stronger and make better decisions by playing games!

    keep him in the side.

    first right foot goal for him according to walls

    :lol: I'm sure he just made that up.

    It's probably true though, if Matthew Lloyd can kick one on his right anything is possible...

  • Quote

    Nup! Wrong again Walls, second right footer by Godders this year. Just like the Bozo was wrong when analysing frees against Rocca after the delayed replay. It was obvious in two of the 'contentious' frees against Rocca that he had a fist full of Holland's jumper trying to hold him off when in front, but Walls is blind to the bleeding obvious!

    you read my mind waynewussell. maybe its time wallsy hangs up his boots as a commentator cause he is crap a tateer as he was a coach. Why don't you have a crack at it next year. It would be great to have some sensible comments during a match

    mclean = Melbourne Football Club

    bate was awesome

    robbo a star (but it should have been 8 :P )

    neitz was influencial

    so many good points

    we won when we butchered the ball quite a bit

    bruce's kicking was poor, green was quietish today but stood up in the last quarter when it was required

    ward is still terrible with his kicking

    davey had a shocking day with his kicking

    but we beat the filth and we can do it again come round 21!

    who was on thomas, it was bell wasnt it ?

    cos thomas was barely seen

    I think Bell was on Didak most of the day and did pretty well on him to. Don't know who was on Thomas. I don't want to sound pedantic, but to the guy who said we need to play Frawley the rest of the season so he's primed for next year, by the same logic do you believe we should play Newton as well?

    I think its grossly unfair on Newton that Frawley can get a run in the team when he clearly isn't ready and Newton has been in good form at Sandy and done plenty of development.

    Danners baffles me at times.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
