OK: a case to present.

One hand: Disgusted, p issed off, want to smash a window with my head after watching my team disappoint me yet again.

Other hand: Seeing in the 4th Quarter, Colin Sylvia show what he is capable of to add with Brock McLean never giving up like most of his team-mates.

Colin really did cut them up in the last 40 minutes (i.e. when he actually got given a go!). His disposal is a lot better than I thought it was.

I agree with you here. I wasn't ********ed off as I have been in the past because our young guys showed some very encouraging signs. Still, i would like to shoot Chris heffernan... hmm, maybe that's too harsh. But he has to be dropped immediately!

McLean is a star. An absolute star. Bet Colin Wisbey is loving his critiques on McLean and Jordan Lewis. :rolleyes:

I haven't thought much of Sylvia but he was good yesterday. In the past he's sprayed the ball all over the place but he kicked two very nice running goals yesterday. He actually plays in a similar style to Moloney, who was decent as well.

Unless the contract dictates, Heffernan should and will be traded at the end of this year, that Barrel he threw into the forward 50 in the 3rd quarter p issed me off majorly!!!!!

I was right behind that one, it was an absoloute shocker. About 40 out, but yes he had pressure on him but to spray it completely out on the full was shocking. Is Phil Read right to play yet?

It is disappointing that we have dropped a game against 2nd last on the ladder at the MCG, and even more so because of the way we went about it. Our midfield was smashed, just like it was against St. Kilda and Fremantle.

Bruce may have helped in the middle and there is no doubt Neitz and Miller would have been vital up forward, but perhaps the most important players missing yesterday were Whelan and Ward, our 2 quickets small defenders. They might have done a bit better than Bell and Williams did, but then again he was getting Christmas presents delivered to him so anyone would have had trouble.

Also, Heffernan is terrible and I don't want to see him play for us again! He can ******** off back to Windy Hill. Yze was very disappointing, he seemed disinterested and let his man ran off him too many times. Robertson and White also disappointed.

Positives were Brock McLean and Colin Sylvia to some extent. Brock was magnificent and is on his way to becoming a club champion in the future.

I'm pretty fed up to be honest about the Demons. They showed us so much early in the season (against Geelong in particular) and really let us down yesterday - without a fight pretty much, showing how bad we can be.

I wonder what Broady would think about that p1ss weak effort.
