Just watched the replay on fox and swear that both the Johnson non-mark and watts non-goal were not shown. Did anyone else watch the 4.30 replay and notice this or did I have two lapses in concentration?

I didn't watch the replay on Foxtel, but is it possible they take away certain non-plays to cram 2 hours and 10 minutes of footy in to just 2 hours?

    That is what I am thinking but I thought that it would be obvious that all of a sudden one minute or so was lost of the clock...

    How good to have so many favourite pieces of play from one game. This side has come so far so quickly with plenty of growing still to do.

    Great post.

    The thing I liked most in that piece from the OP was Sylvia.

    He absolutely burnt off his man and when it would have been easy to blaze away (and he probably would have kicked the goal), he instead lowered his eyes and found Aussie.

    Did you look at the game analyser link above? It'll give you the fix in the meantime.

    Just thought of another one. Leading into Jurrah's last goal, Bennell got a kind bounce and then burnt off Webberley like he was a ruckman. At that point Jamie had been moved to defence as he was just about our only player that could keep up with Hicks, who is just about as quick as I've seen in a straight line. If pace is the new must-have in the AFL, Bennell will go far.

    Not every kick & not every handpass, but early in the season he was useless.The last 5 weeks he's been great.

    I still want him to go to GC Suns.

    I know I have said it before but IMO Bruce is amongst the cleverest footballers going around and has been for a long time during his career. You have to watch him very closely to realise the effect he has on the game. Sure he makes a few mistakes but overall he is important to our team

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
