    Wow. Did not expect Warnock to get the chop. Especially given Rivers holds his spot (ridiculous really).

    Wonna unlucky. Thought he was tackling and applying good pressure in the forward line. MacDonald was to be expected.

    The ins are good, Scully Trengove and Bate all make us better and we're better adapted to Carlton. I just wish it was Rivers out instead of Warnock.

    good changes, Warnock a bit stiff but he did get pantsed by the POD last week and carlton's midget forward line mean no match up

    bring on the bluescum

    whats going on with warnock? dropped because of carlton's pace in the forward line? would that thought rivers would have been the first to get chopped.

  • Quote

    Looks like Garland is fit considering neither Warnock or Macdonald were named in the emergencies!

    I think Cheney might get a deserved call up if Garland does not come up

  • Quote

    Would love to see McKenzie & Cheney squeezed into that side!

    Don't forget Cheney is named and can play tall as well

  • Quote

    Reckon it's strange that both Warnock and Macdonald got the flick ahead of Rivers, and neither are emergencies. Oh well, not too shabby all the same.

    Agreed. I think we almost look a little stretched down back without him there - who plays on Kreuzer or Jacobs while they're forward?

  • Quote

    I have a feeling they are giving Rivers every chance to prove that he still has a spot in the side, and that they'll stick with him for the rest of the season before making a call.

    Very surprised about Warnock though. He had a shocker last week, but I definitely see him as part of a our future.

    So happy to see Scully and Trengove back.

    Good team!

    Disappointed about Brock, and I reckon the boys will be too. It was a bit of an added incentive to win.

    Rivers is still in because of his leadership ability, I'd say. They really talk him up in that regard, so I'm not surprised he's still in. Similar to Bruce, there must be things he does that we simply can't see.

    Well said Rivers very, very lucky

    Cheney is definitely an option and seriously deserves it as he has been starring with the Scorps.

    Does he bring a stool!!

    Can he play small to start with?

    Not fast enough for the smalls. Not strong enough for the talls.

    He would really want to do better than rely on that. Dropping marks and poor disposal are not the hallmarks of a leader.

    Agree.

    He's pushed Warnock out of the team. He's going to have to give a heck of a lot more than what he's been giving to make that a good move.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
