Great work on the video. Also just one point .. this is why people do not rate Jack Watts. Watch the video just after the byrnes calamity (about 1:55) and watch Watts attempt to spoil in the pack. You see defenders like Ben Reid and others get up and absolutely smash the ball out of play but Watts still looks half hearted. For one I am a Jack Watts fan and believe he can become a star however with efforts like that it is a long way off.

Wow is all I can say every team has players that have the old disagreement but of course with the predicament we are in it gets reported and will now the being the rumour mill. Sylvia has had that many issues with alcohol and still never learns. I say bugger it we won't make finals make a stand and tear up his contract I am a fan of Sylvia but I am over every single year him having a dust up or issue that stems from him being intoxicated.

No Barry amongst the best in the AFL Development League? Some posters were wanting him to play AFL this year!

Maybe if you checked I actually spoke about Barry in the seniors

I have been told that Jamar has been told that once Gawn is ready he is out of the team. That would explain why it looks like he doesn't care and his hitouts do not go anywhere. He is now basically a back up to Gawn and only to come in if Gawn needs a rest/gets injured.

Gawn should play after todays game he was immense.

To casey players mostly. He was an enormous presence in this game and as I said actually gets involved in the play and runs hard.

Also Nicholson looked good today no horrible kicks from him.

Hogan dominated Gawn was brilliant in the ruck and around the ground. Was involved in a lot of link up play. Blease drifted in and out but when he has the ball he makes very good decisions. Barry was quiet and is very loose around a pack situation. Strauss ran well off the half back line and linked well but seemed rushed. Magner was solid in close but lacks the pace to get around the ground.

Hey sorry about lack of updates my phone died while I was there. Driscoll looked ok good mark above his head for his height .. Jesse Hogan .. WOW WEE I cannot wait until he plays for the Dees he was best on ground for us and it was no coincidence that Casey faded when he was rested 10 mins into the last quarter.

KC is the rover for Noet Bill Driscoll? I went to school with him, would love to hear how he goes

He is ... Good little player too very solid around goals

Watts not playing for MFC either no late changes to either team Toumpas is sub

Good team named I will be down there as its around the corner from my house cannot wait to see the lads play

I raised this topic on Woewodin last week in another thread. He is a perfect fit for us .. our midfield is shite at the moment. No doubt we have talent but we have no one who appears able to harness the talent. Woewodin has done wonders with East Fremantle in the WAFL and Brisbane now and yes he still loves the MFC I go to the Brownlow and speak to him about Melbourne and he really does love the club.

I was under the impression Nic Nat isn't ready yet ?

This story has been covered so many times. He had a debilitating back injury and they are bringing him back through the vfl 2s

Kent Gawn Jetta and Strauss.. 4 players who I want to play very well and if they do should be in the MFC lineup next week. Kent and Gawn need to be in there

There is no way on earth Brett Ratten will ever come back to us

We all talk about building a better club then why not get someone back who is good at what he does and truly loves the club

I agree with that statement but let's be honest Royal is horrible and I seriously like what Woewodin is doing with the Brisbane on ballers... minus Moloney who has been there for 4 months.

Brian Royal is a rather bad coach in my books I think we could/should try to get someone who actually knows the position properly and also has had success in the field. I am talking about my hero Shane Woewodin. Been at Brisbane for two years and look at their midfield. Rockliff Redden Zorko just to name three. Former Brownlow Medallist and still loves the MFC. In my opinion we should try and get him to help out our midfielders as our new midfield coach

That's how all of us felt last night. No matter our age.

Honestly bloody good on him if true theres nothing to say he was angry at Neeld .. He may have said something that Neeld reacted to. At least neither of them is backing down and sulking in a corner about it. Viney wants what is best for the club and Im sure Neeld does too. The fact they both fired up shows at least they both have passion which is a hell of a lot more than 19 of the 22 muppets did last week.

Dean Kent is someone who I have high hopes for without being hysterical over him. He has actual hardness at the ball not fake bravado and yet still has a skill set to match

We are tearing ourselves apart.

No we aren't the players are tearing us apart as supporters because half of us baby the team and the other half are sick of the crap and want action taken. If the bloody team won some games for a change then we wouldn't react like we do... even if we didn't win don't bend over pull down our pants and present for the opposition to stick it in. Show some bloody fight for god sake. I don't mind if we don't win every week but I do mind when he just stop and let supposedly inferior teams crap all over us.

"Supporters should get a life" etc.?? (your quote) How many Supporters do YOU think may have played AFL/VFL (pre AFL) football. Your comment is too general and totally out of context. They are not questionong how F**ng hard football is just how hard it seeems to be for many Melbourne Demons players as compared for example to players from Port Adelaide.. The Dees were a bloody disgrace on Sunday .. end of story !! IF they WERE interested and doing their best , then we seriously have to take a very very serious look at around three quarters of our current List don't you think ???? I love this Football Club but I haven't liked where it has been heading for the past few years.

Great post .. that last line is so true

It is time we as supporters stopped buying the [censored] that we are being fed. I don't care about protecting their feelings because they sure as hell don't give a rats about ours. Stop babying them they are old enough to handle criticism we have been soft, second rate, slow and lazy for the better part of 5 years and I for one am sick of it. Pull your heads out of your asses Melbourne and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT !!!

Let's recap basically every centre bounce from the weekend. Jamar/Port Adelaide ruckman tap out .. boak clearance. Seriously happened that many times me and the cheer squad would say before every bounce .. watch this go to Boak .. AND IT DID how the hell did the players not realise that. Can't blame Jamar for that.. even if he lost the tap how can one player get the clearance that many times in a row ?? That's the midfield group as a whole .. not just Jamar. As for around the ground .. well he's less than useless there.
