PJ looked like he can really play.

Bate, Sylvia and Dunn should be in next week. Wheels, Bartam and Rivers not far away now.

Yze should not play again - his contract ends this year anyway. We have the most over 30's on our list in the AFL.

Play the young players.

White getting close to the end.

    The positives r that the kids got another game....the negative is Green got another one as well.

    PJ was a positive in every way. White desperately needs to reinvent himself.

    Bring on Meeson.

    i thought wheatley and beamer had a real crack...

    robbo was dangerous when he had the delivery...

    weetra can find the footy, just needs a little more composure...

    cale's kick to green in the last quarter was a gem, shows he knows how to use the ball...

    i don't think it would've mattered who played on Buddy Franklin, no one could've stopped him...

    Robbo got four possessions, but kicked three goals. I'd call that dangerous, wouldn't you?

    yeah, when he had the delivery, the pressure was off our midfield and they finally delivered to him... the midfield was under too much pressure throughout most of the game and they didn't give him a chance...

    What about the incident about a min. before that pass, when Cale was caught in a shocking position running back into the pack, and showed he was prepared to take the crash. With THAT body, it took real guts. Weetra stood his ground under immense pressure once, too.

    Brock came into form in Q 4.

    Johnson did a hell of a lot better than White.

    Garland strove hard. Jones tried his guts out.

    It ended.

    ahhh yes.... but not nearly soon enough !! lol :lol:

    Positives- The game wasn't on tv here in Tassie.

  • Quote

    One huge positive - there are enough passionate supporters writing about this effort being crap - there were also supporters at the game and on the radio who felt the same.

  • Quote

    J.J.C. We got an absolute flogging.

    I admire your attitude but we got belted in every position.

    Enough of this 'there were a couple of shining lights'.

    No, they're weren't.

    Yep, those two pieces of play from Cale Morton were standouts for me.

    Thought Paul Johnson showed a lot (one of the few that looked like he wanted to be out there). Moloney had a bit fight about him and kept battling till the end. Buckley took them on a few times, and tried hard and Miller wasn't too bad down back. Not too much else that I could take from all of that. Greeny and McLean only came good in the second half.

    no id call that getting a kick when the game is well and truely over , like he usually does............. let the tanking begin!!

    Just got home from the game after drowing my sorrows with 5 or 6 (more like 15 :wacko: ) too many beers afterwards. I dont even want to get started on the negatives or i'll be here all night...

    So, i decided to post in the positves thread. I'm far too [censored] to coherently comprehend my agonising memories of what transpired a few hours ago.

    PJ's workrate today was phenomenal. Was one of only a select few who looked like they were willing to put in the hard gut-running yards. A few of his fellow midfielders around him could learn a thing or two from his defensive efforts. On todays performance, he should be ready to take over White's spot very soon. And we need him to. White was just not up to standard today. For a 'mobile ruckman' whose forte is supposedly his ability to win the ball around the ground, 8 soft disposals is just not good enough.

    Other positives... ??

    Moloney had a pretty good comeback. Jones tried hard as always though his disposal let him down. Buckley was encouraging again, but like Jones lacked polish by foot, and also made some poor decisions. Morton showed some signs, but is still a long way off physically. Not ready for '08 IMO. Weetra took a contested mark early in the game.... Umm, what else? Ummm....

    Not much else to write home about. Even the positives have negatives in them.

    to be fair to be robbo the ball only got down there in the last quarter. very disappointing effort. why was i optimistic about 08

    A positive...ok

    The MFC Marquis seemed to be doing a brisk business in signing up memebers.. well it looked like it to me !!. I thought that was encouraging.. Clever of them to not be there after the game too....might have been a few wanting refunds !!! :lol: :D :lol:

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      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.
