Not sure people are aware but Clarry is playing his 200th this week.

One of the best to don the red and blue i sending my warmest wishes in his milestone game. 👏❤️🏆🥇

Sorry I'm mistaken, He's played 198 as of last round against Norf.

AFL tables have Clarry down for 199 already, its actually his 199 this week sorry for the balls up.

I'm laying this squarely at the feet of AFL tables.

Apologies.

    Melk played a blinder that night!

    Kicked four goals and took that cracking mark in the final minutes to bring the margin to within a goal.

    … AND it was Melk who, from the bottom of the pack, fed the ball out to Koz for that incredible winning goal.

    This week is an away match for us. Anyone who’s looking to sit near the cheer squad please note we’ll be in Bay M33 (Ponsford Stand).

    OUT: Me - attending a concert.

    Will be checking my phone regularly, think i still have PTSD from attending the last 3 games where we lost by a combined 7 points.

    But this week IS Clarrie’s 200th. You were right the first time 👍🏽

    And barring anything unforeseen, the following week is Maysie’s 250th 🎉🥳

    Petty can come back through the reserves.

    Our talls were all serviceable and May would be next in line to get a call up potentially of the expense of Lever.

    Would be an absolute joke now if one of JVR or Jeffo lose their spot to Petty

    Slightly ahead of myself, but just saw Melk is 8 games away from 250, so hopefully he gets another contract for next year. Unfortunately, he played 114 games for Essendon, so Frankie, Teddy and Alfie would be eligible for them for Father/daughter and father/son as well as us (which was the main reason for me checking his games played stat)...

    I think the question really is does Melk wanna go around again next year? But I also think the answer is yes. I hope so, anyways.

    I reckon his beautiful kids would choose us over Essendon coz Essendon 😅

    This is not the game to drop Lever. He is suited to the Blues style of football. I’ll back him to have a solid game.

    I don't 100% agree with this. Lever has looked really slow and isn't a good man-on-man defender. The Blues are more of a contest-style team, which doesn't suit him. I'd have TMac, May and Petty ahead of him. Possibly Adams too, for a debut.

    I heard he has already asked for another contract. We should throw in forward line coach or at least kicking coach with it.

    I've changed my mind again on these team changes, before Howes concussion we trusted him to be our 3rd key tall and he deserves the same opportunity again.

    In: Howes, May, Spargo/Billings

    Out: TMAC, Lever, Sparrow

    I'm sorry but you can't drop TMac after his game last week. Would be a travesty of justice if Goody does.

    He’s also said he’s missing out on a lot of family stuff. He said his son Teddy has played 10 games of footy and he’s only been to watch two of those and that that’s something he’d like to change. But I can’t see him knocking back another contract.

    His kids would only know him as a Melbourne player and that is where their loyalties most likely lie.

    No WORSE than that... if Petty gets a game in front of our future then we are in diabolical state, both ROO and JEFFO starting to play with some synergy and starting to show something, Melky in "Stellar" form and I thought Frittas game higher up the ground a revelation... Petty is not a forwards bootlace! PREMIERSHIP defender and thats where he should play.... OR NOT AT ALL!

    Not to mention that Melksham wouldn’t have the fondest memories of his time at Essendon. Robbed him of an entire year of football and god knows what else.

    I would say he and Hibbo, while appreciating Essendon for giving them a start, are both Melbourne thru and thru.

    Petts is only 25yo. He IS our future, along with the other young players.

    • 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.
