The sub is obviously between Blease, Howe and Bennell... Bennell has never been successful, and Howe deserves a full game but I feel it may be him?

Thoughts?

    Small Ground...will make it interesting as our gameplan must be tweaked to play on this Dump.

    Blease for mine.

    As long as it's not Morton. Worst sub ever. Both games he's come on he's been dreadful.

    ....but any worse than when he gets a full game???

    I would be surprised if it was anyone except Blease, although Casey had a bye last week - so does that mean he is slightly out of touch and needs a full game to get into the swing of things, or just throw him in the end so play on adrenaline for half/quarter of a game (assuming no early injuries)?

    Blease has been named as the sub.

    Not a fan of small players getting sub duties

    IMO the perfect sub is Martin as he can play in most positions on the ground

    I hope the Sub Rule becomes extinct sooner rather than later

    Narrow-minded comment, in my opinion

    When you look at the makeup of a side, the majority of players are small-mid sized.

    If you are replacing an injured player, by the numbers, you're likely to have to replace a small running type.

    With the way the game is played today, if worst comes to worst, it's better to concede a bit of height than mobility around the ground.

    Stef doesn't need to start as the sub. In fact, if he starts as the sub we have no backup ruck, so Jamar gets no rest until Stef is subbed on.

    Just by being in the side, if need be, he can be moved into another position as the side adjusts when the sub comes on.

    Fairly straightforward, I'd have thought.

    The substitute rule will stay and has been a success so far.

    • 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.
