Jetta turn it over after a well played and thought through move, did not need to try and thread that ball through, pull him aside and tell him he is not Davey.

    Tapscott would already have to have this week's Rising Star wrapped up, surely?

    13 or 14 touches so far... looking the goods

    Jones' lack of pace a real worry. Just can't have both him AND Moloney around the ball. One has to go.

    Better from Jetta who may have one of the best sidesteps in the game.

    Martin is turning into a player .

    Yep, we've really stepped up big time. If we can keep moving the ball, we'll get this. If they start kicking straighter we'll be in trouble though.

    Listening to the radio, there's some been quiet - Moloney, Petterd, Jurrah to some extent.

    Davey, Bail, Tapscott, Grimes, Jamar been really good by the sound of it.

    Looking at Supercoash and Tom Libratore got 127 I reckon he might get it.

    Although Tapscott might match that. But right now I would be tipping Libba.

    However well we have played, and in patches it has been very good, we do have a tendency to lapse.

    This is by no means a forgone conclusion. There have been too many games where the Hawks have eventually run over us. If we can prosper in the second half it will be a major step forward. I can't say I am confident.

    Also look like the rain is coming.

    We need to start this half with our foot to the floor and to get the first 2 goals and frustrate the Hawks, can't let them get a sniff.

    By the way, note that the Swans beat the Bombers, and at ANZ Stadium where they haven't played well in the past. Maybe last week was a better effort than it looked.

    Ricky Bobby, a nervous goal that will hopefully steady us a bit

    Petterd bends one back on the breeze from the pocket. Goal.

    Nice hands from Watts in the middle to set it up

    Franklin from the boundary on the wrong side for a left footer. Was a monty after missing everything else.

    • 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.
