i reckon ppl are being a bit harsh on maric give the kid ago, id like to see the same team picked for the brisbane game, yes moloney jmac and trengove are better players then say maric wonna and bail but i think the players involved with the win against the swans should be rewarded by keeping there spots.

Might make players work harder knowing there not a walk up starter!!

Love knowing we have petterd grimes trengove moloney jmac bate warnock gysbetts tapscott jetta are waiting to come back!

Oh and the one bloke ive been AMAZED by is the junk yard dog clint bartram, my god has he improved i deadset thought this bloke was a spud but hes year has been awesome, when he tackles he hurts blokes its bloody awesome well done champ!!

    Petterd, Tapscott, Bate.

    We got depth boy.....

    Add in McDonald, Moloney, Grimes, Warnock. Based on the Casey reports Jack Fitzpatrick was good against Fraser & Wood, two seasoned ruckmen. This is a bloody good sign.

    Add in Gysberts, Blease, Strauss. Could go on & on.

    Still thinking about yesterdays game, today. Media talking finals?! Premierships. Going to be some ups & downs still, but the ride is just starting it's ascent, which is the best part!

    Go Dees!!

    Maric was the worst for a while before Watts overtook him.

    Morton was destroyed by Goodes, don't let his numbers fool you.

    Well you and others might be able to comment on the fact that during the 2nd quarter Goodes loked as` though he was picking up Sylvia in the centre bounces. Not totally surprising considering Sylvia's dominance.Without question, on a few occasions Morton was not in the centre with Goodes. Then, in the 3rd and 4th quarters it reverted to the way it started with Morton running with Goodes all the time. Morton was beaten by him--not thrashed at all and made many important plays.

    As to Maric it breaks my heart to see him kick. I recall many on this site raving about his kicking, and I think Emma Quayle described him as the best kick in the draft--or something similar. Again on Sunday whilst I thought he showed a bit, his kicking, especially for goal, was disappointing. Not as disappointing, of course, as poor Jetta [swans] with his nil/16 record

    • 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.
