Presumably the VFL have rules about how many and who can be dropped to the Reserves when the Seniors have a bye.

The likes of Bennell, Blease, Cook, Martin, Davis, Tynan will be just spectators then.

A pretty poorly organised competition to have a bye year after year. If they are to be taken seriously as an AFL feeder / support competition they need to get an even number of teams so that byes aren't regularly stuffing up preparations.

It'll be fixed next year, Essendon fielding their own team.

Nicho's back!

 

The bye is disappointing, the players in the reserves not so much. Lawrence doesn't appear up to it, but Nicho is there for game time, Williams is just starting out and Spencer is obviously returning from a long term injury. Let's hope they all play well.

It's great to see MFC listed players playing well in a Mickey Mouse comp (2nds). There is hope yet.

 

If Kelvin Lawrence is any good, and I wouldn't have a clue whether he is or not, there is a huge space in the side waiting for him. If he can't force his way in this year he never will.

I agree. If there's any list you'd want to be on at the moment as a small, fast, crumbing forward trying to break into the seniors, it'd be ours.

In respect to the Senior players playing in a 'mickey mouse' competition, it can actually sometimes be harder for a forward as the delivery is often up and under.

  • 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.
