    Jones is prone to brainfarts, we know that, but he shut down Danyle (rubbish spelling of a name) Pearce, which was enormous in the context of the game. Props to him for a great job.

    Garland is going to have some ups and downs, and will no doubt tire as the year goes on, given he didn't do a pre-season. Also, being punched in the stomach twice wouldn't have helped. FFS why was a free kick not awarded when he was punched right in front of the umpire? :mad:

    Of course re Jones, but even his brainfarts are a part of him doing what the coaches want - play on at all costs.

    Was McClown the officiating umpire at the time? And that was the second one! Cornes elbow to JW's throat in the first quarter - no report! Yet Moloney was the only report.

    Rivers got carved up on the lead... by a ruckman...

    *sigh*, I love him, but he is making me shitty.

    Wearing red and blue probably didn't help his case :rolleyes: !!!

    The customary safe hands and clean spoils which are the strengths of his game just are not there.

    *shakes head*

    Rivers by far tonight gave his team the most 1%'s = 11. By far. He didn't give away any free kicks. He contested well in packs. He may have spilled a mark from memory, but he wasn't the only one during the night in Darwin. Hardly "useless".

    Some may say he looked slow chasing Hitchcock, but who wouldn't ? FFS.

    Rivers: One percenter King.

    Morton - hesitant, uncomposed, slow

    Rivers - Being good at one percenters in only part of being a good player.

    Watts - Better than Natinui

    Trengove - good in clinches

    Whole team - Too loose

    Jamar - taps to opposition as much as our boys

    Jack Trengove- "FISTS OF DESTINY!"

    Correct me if i'm wrong but not only did he punch through our winning point but he also spoiled Port's last kick into their 50 in the dying seconds. Onya Jack!

    What a joke. Yes made some errors which is understandable when you have not played at this level for 2 months but look at the two perfect passes inside our forward 50m he made. He has been sorely missed. He may be laconic but he is not slow.

    Spot on! Weren't those passes superb?!!

    Cale will be better for the run. And, Melb will be better with him back in the team...

    This, the Rivers hate is crazy, he plays his role and is a team leader.

    • 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.
