    Bate - weak,weak,weak

    Didn't win a single one on one competition.

    Only goal was a gimme which Jetta should of kicked.

    He had a bad day like most of his team mates. He also did the most courageous act of the day backing into Waite and getting poleaxed, marked the ball and won the contest. Did you miss that, or was it a weak effort??

    Bate didn't back into it just went for the ball but it was a good effort. he is more weak in a contest. Dropped a easy chest mark that cost us a goal early. Is very slow and not a clever player. Should have gone for a mark but he just left it trying to run on it but is to slow. Is unbelievably over rated. He is just a plodder.

    Not sure what contest Miller provided with his one kick? He will be replaced by Dunn or Hughes

    If that's the same incident I think it is he took quite a few short steps, he would have taken that easily if he kept going.

    I have supported Bruce for most of the time he has been with the club but today he showed that he is slowing up and quite quickly. He seems to take an eternity to pick up the ball and then just as long deciding what to do with it, it's like watching the game in slow motion at times.

    Is it just me or has anyone else noted his habit of trailing behind the ball as it goes over the line?

    Why is it that these posts are always titled with ridiculously embarrassing puns on the opposition team name? The Booze? What is this? Creative writing hour at creche?

    Like missing sitters (marks & goals)

    Trengove - was relatively quiet

    Do you think holding them back last week was a hindrance (maybe their confidence was growing each week they played, and not playing has set them back in that regard)?

    In which case, they should be up for blinders next week!

    How much did we miss Frawley?

    how much do we miss anybody not named Rivers?

    Can't keep up with his man, can't catch or punch the ball

    The guy next to me was convinced they play him as trade bait for the Gold Coast so Petterd doesn't leave

    Oh yeah, good one - offer them Miller and Rivers. What a coup for the Gold Coast......

    Bartram - didn't see much

    Bate - pretty damn crap

    Bennell - rarely got it

    Bruce - great rebounding work

    Davey - maybe the worst

    Garland - very solid game

    Green - great marking

    Grimes - fairly good game

    Gysberts - rising star nomination

    Jamar - yet another ripper

    Jetta - pretty quiet game

    Jones - 1 great quarter

    McDonald - tagged Judd brilliantly

    Miller - out for Dunn/Hughes

    Moloney - great contested play

    Morton - more like it

    Rivers - possibly trade bait?

    Scully - first quiet game

    Sylvia - possibly regaining form

    Trengove - see Scully

    Warnock - check O'hAiLpin's stats

    Watts - one's not enough

    In the first part so was I.

    I then got on to Bruce.

    Pretty generous this week. Especially compared to last week, although this week was arguably a far worse performance.

    give rivers a break, i thought he was one of our better defenders yesterday. couple of mishaps, but he's getting the ball quite a fair bit

    watts needs to be played in the ruck...he needs to run around...

    Watts needs to play forward/on ball at Casey.

    • 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.
