Mind blowing that Petty is not playing VFL, dude can’t read ball drop, slow, weak, blames others when caught out of position. Drop and trade him while he’s got any trade capital in him.

    This doesn’t make sense nor does dropping him against Fremantle

    Goodwin backs his program, the problem is we are 0-5 with a totally DELUSIONAL coach that has overt grandios opinions of his ability that he has a master plan! Sorry his time has come and gone with 1 lousy flag to show for it! Nup not buying!

    “1 lousy flag” has to make it into the Demonland “hot takes” Hall of Fame.

    I’m having a good chuckle to myself imagining demons supporters crying tears of joy after waiting a lifetime to see the Dees make it to the pinnacle of the sport and you’re just like “who cares it’s one lousy flag!”

    It wouldn’t be his only entry in the hot takes, in similar fashion to Jeremy Howe regularly featuring in mark of the week. Every week he provides comedy gold

    Fritsch is gone, who to blame for this loss?

    Relax, Sparrow is still there

    Actually I wouldn’t have minded if they gave Sestan a game this week - omit Melksham. Sestan needs to be given a chance.

    Actually I wouldn’t have minded if they gave Kynan Brown a game this week - omit Spargo. (Spargo had 1 tackle and 4 missed tackles last week ). Kynan Brown knows how to tackle and needs to be given a chance.

    Both or either of these changes would have been okay by me

    You could have dropped plenty of other players. Perhaps it is a little too late. Freo to win , Goody to get sacked surely !!!!

    He probably means one “lousy” flag because most of us didn’t get to see that one flag, and won’t have the opportunity to see one anytime soon.

    It’s not always about who replaces them. Viney doesn’t warrant a game atm, that’s the statement I’d make. Give Culley a run.

    100% agree, and that was my underlying point.

    I just don't understand how after all the outrage about certain players getting a game, there is now even more discontent about who replaces them when they are dropped

    We have to field 22 players. If we are going to drop guys like Fritsch, JVR, Petty, Viney, Sparrow, Rivers or Spargo it shouldn't be a surprise that inexperienced players from the 2's will be coming in.

    I read this a lot.

    First of all, if you think the flag was "lousy", I can't help you - that's on you. It was, for me and I dare say the majority of Melbourne supporters, the complete opposite.

    But out of interest, how many of us do you think would have actually got a ticket to the G on Grand Final day?

    I personally didn’t find the flag to be “lousy” but it’s lousy to think many of us missed the flag live and at the same time cannot see any prospect of seeing one in the short to medium term.

    In answer to your question, I would say 22,000 MCC members (there is purported to be about 24,000 MFC supporters in the MCC), 1,000 AFL members, 16,000 club members and a number of supporters that would’ve scored via the corporate allocation.

    Plenty.

    I reckon he probably had just on half a match tops Roost.

    He did a few very good things but it wasn't a serious hit out and he was off and on a fair bit also.

    He needs more time imv both for his own sake and i would guess for the FD to take a good look and asses where he's at physically and in a form sense etc.

    Really hope he comes on quickly also. Could be a beauty

    What a silly call from this poster calling Fritsch a 0% chance of getting dropped this week.

    Of course he’s going to get dropped after his best game of the year and kicking a goal that electrified the side for a few rare minutes.

    Who do you put in to the midfield instead..? There’s nothing there..

    A statement was made, on players that we all acknowledge were out of form. At least the midfield will have something new to kick to, maybe it’s the spark.

    If you can't mark the ball when the midfielders do get the ball to you, then you should be dropped.

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
