Fitzgerald....

My apologies Fitzpatrick.

Can't blame me, not like I actually saw him on Friday to be reminded...

    Possible ins and outs for me, on a like for like (or at least similar roles/positions) basis ...

    Green vs Sylvia (Sylvia has had a few games back and shown nothing, he needs to be dropped. Such a shame he won't have a chance to play in the VFL.)

    Martin vs Fitzpatrick (No brainer, if fit)

    Jurrah vs Petterd (I'd pick Jurrah as the designated sub-off, and move Petterd to sub, to give him another small chance to show something after last week's poor showing.)

    Watts vs Bail (We need Bail's run. Notice that our form has mirrored his form over the last month. He provides us what we need; run! He has runs on the board from a few weeks ago, and should have another chance. Also, with Clarke and Howe in good form, and Jurrah back, we can live without Watts up forward for now.)

    Blease vs Bennell (I'd give Bennell another chance, we desperately need run and carry through half back and the middle, and he was showing this recently at VFL level. He needs to get his AFL confidence back. That said, Blease will give us run and carry too. We will definitely look a better side if one or both of these guys can find form and confidence.)

    So Clarke to do backup ruckwork? Not great.

    Also, a bit harsh on Bate, I think, whilst leaving Sylvia in!

    Have to keep Bennell in for a few weeks imo. He's still a potential player in my book and a player with pace which we lack. Selecting him one week dropping him the next is counterproductive. Its not like ANYONE bar Clarke and jones is playing that well at the mo . Whether by game plan, confidence or talent, Bennell is far from on his own. Give him a few weeks.

    Couldn't be much happier with those changes.

    Three disposals against WC and 4 last week speaks for itself. Pace and skill mean nothing with no ball in hand. He tackles feebly.

    • 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.
