Pretty good summary YM. The tackling is symptomatic of a team of kids, but even so, it's pretty awful.

Who played on Hawkins?

Who didn't play on Johnson?

All today proves is what we already know; if we have the injuries we had last year, which incidentally is pretty much everyone who missed today (Anyone else concerned?) we will struggle to make the finals!

This is the first time in years I've felt we haven't had depth. A lot of talented but extremely inexperienced youngsters fighting it out against easily the best team in the country.

I do think in 3 years time, our depth will be sensational.

Couldn't tell you who played on Hawkins because he never got near it. Couldn't tell you who didn't play on Johnson because they never got near HIM.

Much of our injury list is a week or two away. Precautionary really.

Shane Valenti - gun

Stef Martin - potential to be a very good, mobile, smart key defender

Aussie - not too bad

Garland - has improved a lot since last year

Buckley - will give us what we have lacked for years. Speed through the midfield

Meesen - will play 22 games this year

McNamara - showed a bit, great stuff for a 17 year old

Sylvia - was a force in the 3rd quarter. This is his year

Jones - the usual great game

Every senior player that played thats not named James McDonald - all complete rubbish (White, Yze, Green, Holland)

I've barracked for the Dees for 40 years and pay for premier membership every year.

I travel interstate at leat 3 times every year. I go to ever Club function (B&Fs, the lot).

I live in Torquay and have to put up with the crap I read about the Handbaggers every day.

But I'll tell you all something for nothing - being equal favourites for the wooden spoon is dead right,

We were flogged today by a team missing their best 4 - Ablett, Scarlett, Chapman and Harley.

Three winners today only - Bell, Meesan and Buckley.

The rest were crap. Don't be conned by what other posters might say.

How Yze can be elected leader is beyond me. He's only interested in kicking 'miracle' goals'.

We were made to look stupid today and if you believe any different you're living in gaga land.

You forgot to mention that we were missing 15 of our best 25, plus our 2 first round draft choices. If you thought that we would be competitive with the side we had, you are delusional.

And by the way, Harley is not in the Cats best 10, let alone top 4.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
