    This is the team we should run with

    B. Tapscott. Rivers. Martin

    HB. Strauss. Garland Blease

    C. Bail. Trengove. Gysberts

    HF. Cook. Dunn. Petterd

    F. Green. Watts. Maric

    FOLL. Spencer. Moloney. Scully

    I/C. Jones. Howe. Bennell. Nicholson. Jetta. Evans

    Tapscott can share the kickins with Strauss. Blease to create run out of back line. Gysberts to provide extra skill in midfield

    Petterd to assist with defensive pressure in fed line.

    Hopefully the last practice match we get a stronger opponent, wouldn't mind a hitout against a Carlton or Hawthorn...

    Uhh... guys, they may be in the stink at the moment but Brisbane are still an AFL side.

    lol, nah.

    Then again, who cares, play the kids and anyone who needs a bit of conditioning.

    If we lose, well, that just proves pre-season isn't worth a sneeze, and we'll see them again in, when is it, round three?

    That's when I'd be looking for the killing. :)

    Whilst it would be nice to give as many kids a run as possible, it has to be within reason. We do want most of our best 21/2 out there to develop the synergy and continuity that comes with a settled side. Obviously some guys need a freshener and some guys deserve a chance to press a claim for round 1 selection. But the extended interchange bench and 3or 4 rested players provides enough scope for that. Whilst I'd love to see Blease, Tapscott, Wonna, Petterd, Gysberts et al., all have all been in the rehab group quite recently and might be best started back at Casey in their pre-season practice games, which likely start this weekend. There they can be nursed through and find their feet. Either way I'm not too fussed which direction we go, but I think we'll see most players who played last Thursday back on the park.

    BTW, anyone know about Garland's calf? Sorry if that has been posted elsewhere.

    The club would have a targeted game time per player for preseason, our key players don't need 4 games leading into the season. You will not see Green, Sylvia, Jurrah, Davey, Jamar, Rivers, Garland, Trengove and Grimes expect Watts and Moloney to be subbed of at Half time. These guys only need 1 more run before the season starts it is a very long year you need to manage your players.

    Whats parking like at Visy Park?

    There i susually no parking withing the park grounds. Given we are playing an interstate side you should be able to find a park in the surrounding streets. Be prepared for a slight walk depending on what time you arrive and look out for parking limit/permit signage.

    one of the traditions of going to games there when it was still an AFL ground would be the walk back to your car and seeing every single car having a fine on the windshield, nice little earner for the council it was

    I parked in the ground last year against the bombers, cost about $5, but it was pretty limited

    At the very least, you could be right with Syliva. Tweeted that he has a cold or flu or something:

    "Not feeling the best, just grabbed some panadol & vitamin c tablets. Any suggestions!?? Laying on the couch hope I can shake it..."

    • 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.
