    How will our defensive match ups play out for the game?

    I accused the coaching staff last year of tanking early, by the fact they started Frawley on Lockyer, while Cloke ran up to the HF/Wing and continually marked whilst Rivers was on him, and of course Dick destroyed us as well.

    I think if Frawley plays he must go to Cloke. He has been their most dangerous forward this year, and when he is up and about so are the Pies. If Rivers goes to him again, and like against the Eagles with Kennedy, we will get torced again.

    It may be negative, but i would just about advocate trying to get Rivers playing as a loose man in defence from the start of the game, as i don't really see an appropraite match up for him, unless Fraser or Jolly starts down there.

    Grimes can play on either Medhurst or Davis, with Bruce going to the other, and Warnock gets Brown or Dawes.

    Didak is a worry, as Junior and Jones may have taken him. I have called for a Daniel Bell recall for this role as he as been playing it at Casey, and as he has played as a defender, he can handle himself when Didak goes forward.

    So...

    Warnock takes Fraser/Jolly/Dawes/Brown. Basically the key forward playing down there.

    Rivers to take another key, otherwise play loose

    Frawley takes Cloke

    Bruce takes Medhurst

    CHENEY takes Davis - should get called up this week

    Grimes takes Didak

    Sound good?

    I'll be there in the Northern & bought a spare reserved seat for my son, if he comes.

    It'll be a great game. Go DEES, give 'EM HELL!

    Flying down from Canberra. Havn't missed a QB match since I can't remember when. Love the 'walk to the G', and I give us an outside chance. Go Dees!

    • 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.
