the whole club is trying to lift the tempo.

With this many injuries we can't afford to give Davey a week or so off (tribunal might do it for us though). Make him work hard to get back into form I say. Maybe chuck him at half back and get some run.

Indeed - it doesn't look like we'll have any choice in terms of him missing a couple.

Needs to give us a bit of a spark - a couple of goals in this term would be nice.

[Gorgoroth 12,916]

Can we kick a goal this quarter?

[BrownlowBruce 1]

who is the captain?

[mikeod 21]

Not likely.

[deanbarber 37]

finally davey goal

[Gorgoroth 12,916]

Davey showed why he needs to play in the F50, great crumbing.

[Gorgoroth 12,916]

I missed who captined the club today, but isnt mcdonald and mclean the only 2 from the leadership group in the side?

if so surely it would be chook as juinor captained last week.

[Gorgoroth 12,916]

2 in a row!!!!!!!!

[deanbarber 37]

GOOO DEMONS

well done robbo

[deanbarber 37]

wasnt ppl saying that brown needed to be dropped

i rest my case

[Gorgoroth 12,916]

Chooka looks like he was limping a little at that bouandary throw in.

[deanbarber 37]

half time

melb 22

bris 54

[Jarka 767]

i rest my case

His disposal hasn't been great as normal, however he will be 32 next year, I rest my case.

[Jaded No More 68,855]

Half time report:

- Junior captain

- Melbourne finally manning-up, still can't deliver the ball forward

- Robbo getting belted

- We're getting spanked in the clearances... AGAIN!

- Frawley very good

- McLean getting free and finding the ball, good signs - 17 possessions so far

- Garland is very quick for his size

- Why isn't Newton at FF?

- Carroll doing a good job on Brown, with the help of the midfield

- We are terrible!

Oh, and I love Jonathan Brown!

[Gorgoroth 12,916]

he wont be that old will he??????

[IvanBartul13 2,564]

obviously a poor scoreline but theyre having a dip - this is the worst side on paper the MFC has put on the park for a very long time

[Gorgoroth 12,916]

Agree with that all jaded, i would put bate a FF.

Buckley has found it harder this week, cneeds to lift

I'd argue our worst since 1997.

There is no experience in the vital areas. Our defence is make-shift at best, and we have no real midfield rotations.

It's a very young side, which is why it looks quite bad.

But when you think about it, the majority of these players should represent our club for years to come.

Apart from Brown, Ward, Bizzell, Junior and White, the rest of the squad has another 50-200 games left in them!

Our biggest issue is that without Bell and Rivers, we really struggle down back.

Frawley is doing a very good job so far, but Carroll is again fighting out of his weight/height division.

Id go back further...lol

I have to keep reminding myself of this!! Who does Brisbane have out? I can't think!!

Frawley doing a good job again. Looks like Danners faith was well placed.

[Gorgoroth 12,916]

there was a passage that didnt really lead anywhere but was bate, mclean, sylvia, garland and newton.

bring on 2010
