I would like to see Watts running with Goodes and Jones to tag K Jack. Would be a very good learning curve for Watts to see what it takes to be an elite player at AFL level. Jones, I would have him stick to K Jack like glue and pester the crap out of him all day. Any other thoughts?????????????

    Interesting thoughts, DemonOx. I would prefer Rivers to get a run-with role if Goodes plays forward. Watts to play a linking role, like a fat side quarterback - playing forward of centre.

    It may be a good 'learning experience'...but a better learning experience is to play the way the coach wants the team to play when they win. If we are 10 goals down at 3/4 time, then OK - switch away.

    Jones in a negating role? Sounds fine. Pester and grunt, and leave the delivery to the Rolls Royces cruising by.

    This game will be a big test of our intensity - Sydney are such pains around the ball, but if we don't win here, its over, red rover.

    keiran jack should not be tagged rather, hannebery or josh kennedy

    and garland should/will play on goodes, who is likely to start at centre half.

    would be silly to be experimenting with a forward player as a defender in round one, although learning about goodes work ethic, they would just throw him deep into the forwardline which is where watts would be destroyed.

    • 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.
