The ‘frost is the answer’ crowd are back. He has not been playing well for casey before today. I’d like to see Him dominate at vfl level for a few weeks before him playing. He gets outsmarted easily at afl level so has some stuff to work on before players seniors imo

You must have not watched the game to closely if you think melksham was rarely sighted. He was one of our best

We are still mentally weak. The first 15 mins of the last quarter we looked like scared kids hoping not to stuff up. Aside from a few. Port out tackled and went in harder than us in the last. We got the rough end of the stick with umpires but we lost this game. Im sick of the excuses. I don’t want to be like a St Kilda fan whinging about umpiring. We lost that game ourselves. Hogan and Trac should be ashamed of that effort tonight

Port are going in harder and tackling more than us. This is why they are leading. Almost all free kicks have been there im sick of the excuses, just win the games melbourne!

what is the change for Port? cant open the link at work

hehe you said Diction

id go with no change. back the team in that won 6 in a row. It'll be dry and Port are tall so I think we keep Pedo in. he had weeks of excellent form at Casey so deserves a game as no other fwds are knocking the door down at Casey Tyson a chance to come in but not sure for who

does that make us unofficial MFC supporters???

a piece of trivia: did you know Melksham has had more scoring shots on goal than T Mac this season? Melk 14 goals - T Mac 25 goals. Plugger Mac really is so accurate. also with Hogan on 31, I reckon we will have our highest goal scorer in many years this year if they stay fit. maybe 15 years? when did Robbo kick 60-70?

Only 10 more season defining games to go!

You're a legend DZ, thanks for the report! much needed footy chat after the last week (how has it only be 8 days since QB??)

dont think the MCG is an issue at all. we play the better teams there. poorer team either at Etihad or we sell them to NT

Marc should have left 2 years ago if he wanted to go. only desperate team will go from him - St Kilda, north.

Mick is still so bitter about the Buckley succession deal. you signed off on Mick! I think Pert will do very well, he oversaw a period of success on and off the field for Collingwood. they made a mistake with the buckley move but stuff happens. That young 2010 team really should have won 1-2 more flags but Buckley decided a re-build was in order, hilarious! they are only now recovering 6 years later

That’s the bad news. Good news is he sold 10 pairs of shorts today

I'm just relieved I don't have to stick up for him anymore. After 9 years I was exhausted!

I surprised he wasn't dropped a few weeks back. He has been poor. He played a lot better for us over the past 2 years. Hopefully he does well at SANFL and plays against us the next week. Be good to see him play against us

A wise man once said unless you get 9/9 in your footy tips each week, the ladder predictor makes as much sense as cows wearing pants

what a joke of a thread

Be crazy to play him if he has soreness his the same foot even if the scans are clear. He has become critical to our set up and can’t really be replaced. Bring in Pedo to ruck/fwd role and have hogan play more wing and roaming role. If it has flared up again he just lost himself a lot of money on his next contract

interesting when you take into account that there is competition for Cripps in getting the hard ball and Clarry has Viney etc to compete with, his acheivement is better than Cripps

Any reason to assume he would not join Hawks or Cats like usual? the Cats may not have that much cap space but I'd imagine he would go there for less if needed

Cant think of many if any A graders that have gone to bottom of the table teams. although they get more money when they leave they always go to a team with at least decent change of a flag in the next few years

That for real Chelly? Kent another 4 weeks??

Thanks for the warning
