haha YES! you can lure old dee to post whenever Bennell's name is mentioned!

He'll get a short break from games for the bump, but i dont think it was a cheap shot or blatantly reckless. Jetta needs to get involved in the game more than he does, however when he gets the ball or is part of the play he generally does good things IMO

Wonder if Moloney will shark jamars taps all game!

Byrnes, Terlich, matt jones and pederson - did pretty well today, what did you think RobbieF?! Hopefully Clark is fit for next week, he will find another gear playing against the lions

Always been a Garlo fan, been better than his mate frawley this year

And Byrnes (and pederson contributed), what did you think RobbieF?!

I'll take a win regardless of who it is against

Confidence boosting quarter, come at us Lions!

Confidence boosting quarter, come at us Lions!

Pickles Evans take a bow

He's clearly got the right attitude and is talented enough.

welcome back WYL

There once was a nutter called Dank, The work he did for the Bombers was rank The Demon's doctor called Bates, Dank and the doctor were Mates Now the Demons will face a sad fate

I'd like to believe i could stop caring but i cant. My current state of disapointment is proof! I care about the MFC, so much so that the latest news and heavy losses effect my mood generally. Unconditional

The club needs a win this week like no other week i can recall. Loosing this week would be worse than loosing rd 1 after jimma's passing

you gotta be $#%^&@ kidding me!

I bet both Toumpas and Watts will both play and both have good games. These guys believe they are good enough when they come up against kids.

Agree with that I think Kent will get a game as soon as the FD have had enough of Tappy, Byrnes or Davey

I believe signing Trengove and Grimes as co captains was for a number of reasons; 1. Both were seen as critical players to keep at the club long term - The captaincy is an additional emotional tie to 'lock them in' for the long term 2. Neither of them had played enough games to warrent giving the captaincy to just one of them, thus the co-captain route 3. There was seen to be no real leaders from the old guys who could provide the whole onfield and off field package (eg. Beamer probably ticked the onfield box only....) If Grimes and Trengove finish their careers as greats of the MFC it will have been a good move, but latley i wonder whether giving the captaincy to Brent Moloney would have been the best thing for the club in the short to medium term? PS. I still believe Trengove can become our Jimmy Bartel style player

Yes we did well but he's still a scum. I'm i was at the G i'd be trying for a seat near the GWS dug out so i could abuse him every time he was dragged for costly turnovers

Grimes does occasionally pull out a howler of a kick, but that's almost the least of our worries. I think the biggest concern for us is the growing list of players who seem to have gone backwards or stalled over the last couple of years. If these guys dont show any improvement i'm not sure how we can start getting successful; Jamar - Enough has been said Frawley - Enough has been said Garland - Seems to have changed his defensive style in one on one contests? Was trying to wrestle with Kennedy and Darling, when a couple of years ago he would have spoiled with his go-go-gadget arms! Tapscott - some promising signs on the weekend, but still dropped a few very markable balls in key passages - needs to coment himself at this level Trengove - Perhaps he isnt the midfielder we thought, says he is almost 100% fit, yet still looks down on pace, perhaps his role is more of a HFF? Nicholson - Seems to have flatlined in his form at AFL level Blease - Shows glimpses but needs to impact entire games of footy Watts - Enough has been said Dunn - Enough has been said Strauss - hasnt shown much at all at AFL level In a good team guys like Sylvia, Blease & Watts could be 'icing on the top' type players at their current stage of development . Unfortunatley at melbourne we're still trying to bake the cake....

A Jack Watts opinion piece is fast becoming the footy media's solution to a slow news day*. Nailed it in the first line!

Need McKenzie to tag Ward and we'll be fine

Hawkins was not a number 1 pick, albeit he was highly rated. Sorry to say it but if you are pick #1 your going to cop it if you arent a gun straight off the bat! Might not be fair, but its the way it is
