Rohan Bail keeps going in reverse while Jack Grimes doesn't discount a return late in the season.

    Davey a chance for Darwin? I wouldn't think so but who knows. Hopefully we pick Aussie back up in Darwin, I thought this game would be the deciding point on whether he rejoins us or not. Fingers crossed.

    So do I, there is nothing good to be gained from coming back this year.

    He thinks so. Kids asked him yesterday at the clinic and he reckons he will be back for the Darwin game

    I think there are guys ahead of him for selection on form.

    Addam Maric (27 kicks, 6 handballs, 5 marks) - an excellent four quarter display from Maric who gave great rebound in a team that struggled for consistency all day.

    Luke Tapscott (16 kicks, 2 handballs, 6 marks) - showed great strength and is a beautiful kick of the football. A similar outing at this level next week should see him promoted back to the Melbourne side.

    Tapscott also has to his credit a "sickening head clash" which resulted in his opponent being stretchered off - credit in that he was hard at the ball (not of course that his opponent was injured - perish the thought as tempting as it is).

    They will get another game this weekend to press their case. It will be a test for selectors whether to choose two (hopefully) proven fit and in form players over someone returning from injury.

    Davey shouldn't play in Darwin, fitness and form against him. Tapscott should be a chance, MAric should definately come in for Bennell.

    Will be good to have Bail in the side. We really lacked a defensive side on friday night, something Davey will not bring.

    Aaron Davey's name is all he has at the moment. Let it NOT fool us. 2011 has been one to forget for him.

    Tappy ahead.

    It's 2011.

    Amended with thanks.

    It's not just a choice between Davey and Tapscott. I would have thought Davey might come in for Bennell and Tapscott for, say, Morton or Nicholson (although I'd keep Nicholson in if it were up to me).

  • Quote

    I'd bring in Davey for sure if available. He's had a tough year, but we know what he can do. Bring him in for Morton

    • 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.
