hard task today.

 

Disappointing game overall - very little run and not the pressure we have seen them apply over the last month. Nevertheless, here are my votes:

6: Bruce (He was one of the few who attacked the ball and attempted to run out of defence)

5: Bartram (would have been the best but I was annoyed by him letting Harvey run around him and kick a goal)

4: Dunn (just needs to be more consistent within a game)

3: Grimes (for his 2nd half)

2: Scully (great dash and commitment)

1: Green (was a target but needed to be moved on the ball)

Very disappointed in Joel MacDonald, Stefan Martin, Jared Rivers, Colin Sylvia

 

6. Green

5. Grimes

4. Dunn

3. Bruce

2. Scully

1. Bartram

6. Grimes (only player to give them run out of an overly tall backline)

5. Green (presented well and helped get them back in the game up forward)

4. Jamar (battled well against one of the 3 best ruckmen in the comp and probably took the points, just!)

3. Scully (after the richmond game his best for the red and blue)

2. Davey (very good in patches, didn't do enough however)

1. Bennell (gave them a lot of run, impressive outing)

Please explain.

I thought he was just OK. Nothing very special, and needs to overcome his habit of doing nothing in the first half.

He was very good in the third quarter when Melbourne got a run on.

I didn't think he was that good. And playing one quarter out of four isn't good enough.

Needs to lift to keep his spot over Wonaeamirri, Jetta and Maric. As well as Cheney, Strauss, McNamara, Bail, McKenzie, and the upcoming return of Morton and Jurrah.

There's no reason to think Jetta is ahead of Bennell, Maric doesn't seem too likely to come in and Aussie will need to build a lot of fitness up before he'll be promoted.

Cheney, Strauss, Bail, Mckenzie and Jurrah all play different positions to Bennell.

Jetta played better last year as a forward than Bennell has over the last few weeks (on average).

Aussie will take Bennell's spot in a canter if Bennell doesn't improve.

I think it will be hard to justify keeping Bennell in the side when those other players return from injury (the later ones, not McKenzie and Bail) or get in decent form. Unless Bennell improves. Which is the point of my first post I guess. He's not giving enough over 4 quarters atm.

5 Moloney

Please tell me you're joking

  • 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.
