A couple of observations from the game today (from the TV coverage).

Bate clearly put his hand up for a recall to the seniors and really wanted it.

Nicholson really impressed especially in the 1st half.

Spencer pushed off the ball sometimes by much smaller opponents.??? Maybe needs to build up his his leg strength.

Blease if he can bring it more often could be a very good asset off half back.Intensity for the full game the key.

Petterd a bit too good for VFL although disposal not that great at times.Great mark for his size.

Gawn very mobile for his size and far better prospect than Spencer IMO.

Blond haired fella up back, cant recall his name(please help me out here).Was it Mcdonald? Good mark.Looks a decent prospect for 2012.

Liked the look of Cook and not as skinny as I thought he might be.Looks a real prospect and maybe the power forward we are looking for down the track.Also like his kicking at goal.

I desperately wanted to get down there today but was forced to watch it on the telly. Just a few takes I noticed:

Really surprised with some comments about Jetta. I thought he was great! Played on the ball all day and has shown he is not a small forward but certainly a midfielder, people need to realise that. On the TV its easier to notice how good players are in close and Jetta's contested ball and use of handball in stoppages was first class. Also found the ball in space on many occasions and had some damaging runs. Always tackles hard and besides a couple of mistakes he used it really well.

Nicholson was superb, especially early on. Great acceleration and I love it how he backs himself. Certainly worth watching, could be a rookie promotion at some point in the season

Evans was also impressive, I really liked the look of him in pre season and he backed it up today.

Howe took some great marks and is a nice user of the footy. Was quiet in patches so I still think he's a while off AFL level but another player worth watching

I was a little disappointed with Blease, I've always thought he's an exciting prospect. Today he did some really exciting things with his trademark run and pace but really butchered it when he disposed of it. Also went missing quite alot, don't write him off but he's a mile off AFL standard right now.

Petterd, Maric and Bate all showed alot and deserve another call up. Bate was easily BOG and Maric and Jetta were our best through the middle. Petterd after a scare early on worked hard like always, a few mistakes but did well

For mine next week:

IN: Petterd, Maric, Bate, Jetta

OUT: Morton, Wonaeamirri, Bennell, Dunn

Also consider Warnock for Rivers

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
