Not the first time this season I've heard of players being very ill during the week and still playing on the weekend.

You'd think we're racing for a flag.

Ridiculously and needlessly careless at this stage of the season.

    Shocked Gary Lyon didn’t put Ashton Moir in his AFL 360 MVP 3-2-1 votes for the round, given the over compensating his done against his own side for the entire year.

    The club is taking the [censored] at this point

    Their refusal to use any different midfielders - even when one is SICK WITH THE FLU - is becoming a joke

    Why couldn’t Rivers take his role for that game? Why couldn’t Langford get some CBA exposure? Hell I’d even take bringing Laurie in for a game to give him a go

    For anyone who can’t see how stubborn Goodwin is, this should show them exactly the kind of mindset he has

    And it’s going to run the club into the ground next year if he’s still our coach

    What's even more funny is that even though he was bed ridden with the flu we still played him majority of the midfield minutes 🤣

    Poor Trent Rivers thinking to himself what more doe he need to do to get a look in..

    I reckon I can be convinced on lots of outwardly counterintuitive things as they relate to footy. This is one that not even the strongest argument would turn me around on.

    Yes, footy careers are short. Yes, you need to make every game count. No, you don't need to play when very unwell or seriously affected by injured.

    A half-fit X is better than a fully fit Y is one of the stupidest cliches in all of top level team sport - far stupider in an 18-person game.

    I mean that's not totally true, because even when sick some players are simply still better than the alternative.

    If this was a final, or we had to win this game to make finals, you take a risk and back in your best players. We did that with May in the GF and it worked.

    But the season is so dead it's cold, and this is when these types of arguments are irrelevant.

    We had a golden opportunity to rest Trac and mix things up, and we chose not to. Instead we pushed him through illness, and we still lost. Great work.

    I thought our average age for our premiership team was quite young.

    Apart from our fwd line collapsing, what happened?

    Do they just lose their appetite? And if so, why?

    We never replaced Jackson Brayshaw ANB or Hibberd . Each had a specialrole.

    Remember the other plays like that mark not paid to JVR right in front of goal. Then the ball goes to their fwd 50 and goal.

    12 point swing in under a minute.

    Geez we are amateurs. Reeks of desperation and Goody trying to eek out a win at all costs.

    At least he played better than Brent Moloney in THAT game.

    • 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.

      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.
