    Thanks Gouga. About time someone recognised the performance of some of our defenders tonight. I thought Ferguson was fantastic and Carroll was also very good.

    Rhino: I need some clarification on the Bate vote. I thought he continually jibbed contests and in a side that was throwing itself in and trying really hard, it was painfully obvious to see.

    Scoop-- Bate did his ankle earlier in the game and could not run but he epitomised the fighting spirit and played on and made the best contest he could. THe last vote you could have split between a number of players.

    Admire the effort to play on but head over the footy and eyes on the ball are non-negotiables and he let his teammates down. It's frustrating - he's got a lot of ability but he won't make it if he doesn't get harder.

    Agreed.

    Ferguson was very good tonight. He played with a lot of heart - he was courageous, spoiled strongly and really helped out Carroll when he was forced to play on Rocca. I know often people question his skill, but never can one question his character on the field.

    Agreed.

    Bate shows so much promise in most aspects of his game but can't seem to bring it all together. Needs to know he belongs at AFL level and find the tenacity missing from his game.

    (also: i know he was reknowed for his athletisicm as a junior, but is it just me or does he have a massive turning circle? is it his agility or something else?)

    6- jones

    3-Dun (won almost every contest involved in)

    1- pickett

    Brown could have got 50 possessions and he still would have been useless.

    If you need proof that stats mean nothing, that was it. Collingwood let him play loose because they knew he wasn't damaging.

    Apologies to Dunn who, whilst not being in my top 6, really played above himself tonight and stood up when needed. Promising signs.

    BIG RED SIGNING IN:

    Was I at the same game tonight. James McDonald is the most over rated player in our side. Yes he tries hard, runs hard and he puts his body on the line. Time and time again though once he gets the ball we are in a worse position once he disposes of it than we were before hand in nearly all occasions. How many of his disposals tonight put us to advantage? He bombs to a contest, handballs to players under pressure and continually misses targets. His tackle count is always high because he is usually second to the contest. He would not get a game in any half decent side and we talk up his performances like he is a champion.

    That's what I thought about last night; didn't think he had much of a night at all. I'm stunned that he's getting all the 6s.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • 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.
