    Someone had to say it

    Very happy with that selection - great to see Fitzy there.

    Yes, good on Fitzy.

    dee-luded would be spitting chips, no doubt.

    Good to see Fitz debut.

    Joel Mac has come in for Scully, apparently.

    he came into the squad of 25 to be an emergency.

    Great to see Fitzy Debut, all the best. Bate should be sub.

    Pick 4 & Wooden spoon or Pick 6 ? hrmmm. I think they'd rather win myself.

    I think they're gonna have to settle for pick 4.

    Tom Scully general soreness. Whatever. We should make him play and if he hurts himself further its not our problem. Let GWS and there brilliant medical team deal with him.

    I guess that will have people talking. Anyway glad to see Fitzpatrick debut.

    Yeah thats the spirit. Lets get him.

    I'd start Bate and have Bail as sub. Stick Bate in the midfield and put him on notice that there is a nice red vest waiting for him the moment he is not contributing strongly. Give Bail a shorter game time after his layoff and Casey ressies x1 - Casey seniors x1 return. Let him add speed when we need it.

    That's what I mean.

    Port coming off a near miss against Essendon. Playing in Adelaide, albeit at Adelaide Oval. Sending off Dean Brogan. Desperate to get off the bottom, since draft picks are compromised by GWS.

    Melbourne struggled to beat the Gold Coast at the MCG. Playing without much confidence. Haven't won in Adelaide for 10 years.

    If Melbourne starts favourite, the footy punters will have gone mad.

    They HAVE gone mad. I don't think the broader footy world understand just how bad Melbourne are at the moment. Port Adelaide by 6 goals minimum, and in a canter.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • 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.
