It was hard to tell watching the match on TV, but it seemed like Beamer missed most, if not all of the last quarter, and most of the 3rd? I thought he was one of our best in the first half, and couldn't figure out why he wasn't on the ground. Just wondering if anyone who was at the ground knows whether he might have picked up me sort of injury or niggle, and hence was rested for the majority of the 2nd half? This would be a major blow as he's been one of our best so far this year.

Any clues?

    It`s great to have Beamer back in the side after another good effort yesterday with 18 touches,6 marks, 5 kicks Inside 50,1 goal and 2 centre clearances. Yesterday I picked up on Moloney`s kicking accuratcy around the 50 metre mark. We should continue playing Moloney in a rotating role on the half forward flank and on the ball, because he can find the goals with that raking right boot. He uses his strength around the stoppages,Puts on good defensive pressure at times, tackles and chases, but you just got to wonder if he can use all his strengths for 4 quarters. Same with all of our players. If we are going to be a competitive team we need all our players using all their strengths for a full 4 quarters, which is part of the reason why we can`t put in a full 4 quarter effort.

    Thoughts?

    You will remember back to I think it was ROund 3 last year wheen Dean Bailey blasted him at the quarter time huddle for continually kickjing the ball long straight to the opposition. Bailey went straight for Moloney and said something like 'not once, not twice, but 3 times' and even used his fingers to count it in Moloneys face.

    Something you would never see from Neale Daniher.

    Moloneys game has now changed for the better.

    Notice now when he gets the ball he acxtually looks ahead to see whats on offer, and now instead of blazing away, a large percentage of his kicks travel less than 30 metres.

    The only thing I worry about is that he may get gun shy on occasions and not use his booming 60 metre kick even if it is the best option.

    Anyway, so far so good. A win for Bailey, the Demons and the fans.

    Yeah, remember that. If he can use his booming 60 metre kick more often when he`s in range he can be one of our midfielders who kicks some goals, he does kick a few goals already though. I remember a thread back a long time ago complaining about Melbourne midfielders not kicking enough goals.

    • 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.
