Why would you drop him?

Why is he always the first one in the gun?

Has done very well with his limited ground time and possession count.

No youngster deserves to get dropped while our injury list is so long. We have nothing to gain by dropping them.

Haha I said it with tongue in cheek as he does cop a fair bit.

From what I heard on the radio he seemed to be up the ground and out of defence a fair bit.

    I hope nobody actually thinks that last qtr counts for anything. I don't want see some of our players all of a sudden looking like superstars in junk time. We want to see performance when the game is still there to be won.

    Very, very disappointing performance. I actually thought we had a chance tonight.

    Chris Johnson perhaps done enough to earn a spot next round?

    Absolutely, he ran hard, marked well, tackled strongly and his disposal was pretty good under pressure.

    He is definitely proving alot of people wrong with his performances since coming back.

    Brisbane beat West Coast at Subiaco last week. What made you think we possibly had a chance, when better Melbourne sides couldn't get a sniff in Brisbane in years? :wacko:

    You can't expect to win games with the side we're fielding at the moment. We're one kid short of a happy meal FFS.

    The fact that we made a contest of it and didn't lie down and get done by 100 points, is something to hang our hat on.

    West Coast are flying aren't they?

    I just want to see a committed team effort. I want to see us win some clerances and put our head over the ball, and dare i say it....play some good team footy. Wasn't much of that going on tonight.

    Team footy requires you to have a team. Given that we're currently a side thrown and sticky-taped together, I don't know that you can expect much more. We are basically playing the last 22 fit men we have, and most of them are no good or very very raw.

    Those who are no good will be gone shortly, those who are raw, will learn from the experience and be better for it next year.

    Gee that pisses me off when players loose there cool eg sylvia just then a davey having a swing

    i apoligise to the kid, that was the worst free ever!

    lucky you backed that up. him and the other mfc player were getting jabs and elbows, sylvia pushes him away and it gets paid against him??? the free kick count was listed as 16-22. i think it was more like 10-22...

    What was with their complete refusal to call 'play on advantage'?

    Stuffed us up at least 3 times, when we had the ball nearly inside 50!

    i thought CJ did pretty well today...17 disposal, 8 marks, not heaps of game time...his disposal was among our best.

    bate got a bit of it but i was dissapointed, he didnt do much that was damaging. and he struggles for pace those first 2-3 metres. brock and bate both need to work hard over summer on their first 3-4 steps. in fact it wouldnt hurt anyone in our team to work on early acceleration. we dont need to be fast, just need a bit of power to break the tag occasionally.

    patfull played a fantastic spoiling game for brisbane, and apart from jon brown possibly was their most influencial imo. robbo was our main target, if he was allowed a bit more space he could have had 6-7 today and patfull kept him to 1.3.

    Add in Rivers, Bruce, Neitz, Green, Johnstone, Whelan, Pickett, Yze, Bartram, Moloney and Bell and the Demons win by 130 points

    I'm not expecting huge things with a bunch of kids, but I'm not going to accept getting pasted like that, and I don't think Riley will either.

    Kudos to CJ, good to see him play well and hopefully he plays out the year.

    On Bate, deanox you're spot on about his acceleration, he is quite quick when he gets speed up but his acceleration is poor, as is McLean's.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
