MELBOURNE v COLLINGWOOD

Melbourne

B: Clint Bartram, Matthew Warnock, James Frawley

HB: Nathan Jones, Jared Rivers, Jack Grimes

C: Cameron Bruce, Jack Trengove, Tom Scully

HF: Neville Jetta, Matthew Bate, Lynden Dunn

F: Brad Green, Brad Miller, Aaron Davey

Foll: Mark Jamar, Brent Moloney, Jordie McKenzie

I/C: Colin Garland, Cale Morton, Jordan Gysberts, Jack Watts

EMG: Jamie Bennell, Paul Johnson, Kyle Cheney*

In: Dunn, Frawley, McKenzie

Out: James McDonald (hamstring), Colin Sylvia (toe), Jamie Bennell

Cheney comes in for Sylvia but doesn't make the 22. I expect he will play if Jones is forced to withdraw.

Watts and Miller both keep their spots. I wonder if this means Dunn will play a forward defensive role instead (e.g. shutting down Shaw or O'Brien, like Petterd did in Round 2)

    Cheney won't be playing -he is played for Casey today - and doing very well!

    Poor guy. I wonder how many times he's been an emergency in 2010.

    Is PJ playing too? Surely he wouldn't be the one who is left to come if Jones doesn't get up.

    Edit: According to the Casey board PJ and Cheney are playing for Casey, which leaves Bennell as the match-day emergency I guess.

    Yep, PJ at casey too. If Jones doesn't play it'll be Bennell back in.

    No point risking him if he is not 100%. Does anyone know if he was playing hurt the last few weeks? Col has been ordinary since his 5 goal effort earlier this year.

    It was reported he has been playing in pain for 6 weeks.

    pretty good ins tho... 3 bigger bodies to throw in.. mckenzies tackling has been missed..... bit harsh on Bennell but you have to be consistent i guess.. wish he was given a chance to show the pies players his improved efforts since round 2 when he backed out of a contest

    I didn't think he's play with that issue on his right foot, his kicking foot. That bleeding has to be caused by something to clot? He kicks the ball hard & long. There are lots of foot issues in the AFL lately.

    I not surprised that he's got at least a week off. (The Bye)...

    According to KC from Casey, PJ played for Casey today so he wont be an emergency on Monday.

    Thank god

    Bennell didn't play for Casey while all others were there....BTW Strauss was excellent and hopeful to see him soon.

    Expect Bennell to play.....for probably Jones, possibly even Gysberts I've heard a few things after he only played 5 mins of last qtr against Blues. Heard Chip around the place too but am sure he will be there.

    Didak is out... will that effect out setup in a big way?

    i wouldn't have thought so, they are replacing him with a similar type player

    Getting smashed. 2 goals to the pies already in the first 3 minutes. This has a smell of Geelong about it.

    4 times inside 50 to nil. 13 touches to 3.

    Oh dear.

    • 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.
