Looking forward to tomorrow nights game.

Any predictions on who will stand up or respond following last weeks uninspiring efforts? nate Jones once again? Will trenners turn it on for the first time this year? Or just more of the same from Clark?

    Clark will play as he does every game and leave everything out on the MCG, as will Jones.

    Of the players who haven't played well this season, I think (and hope) that Trengove will put in a solid performance.

    If I say Tom McDonald, James Sellar, Sam Blease and Jamie Bennell often enough, surely at least one of them will stand up and salute with a standout game??

    Tom McDonald and Sam Blease are always a chance. I wouldn't hold my breath for the other two, though.

    I would nominate the usual suspects. We all know who they are.

    FWIW Mitch Clarke is currently 6/1 to kick the most goals 2morrow. Betts and Walker his main opposition. Mmmmm might have a little flutter on that. (Well, it is the off season isnt it??)

    Yeah, I'm with Jackaub. One day, maybe today, this group will wake up to the fact that the games

    there for the taking. Get in the game early, get some early touches, back and encourage each other. Treat Carlton like the arrogant scum they are instead of so much respect accorded these sides

    Id like someone new to have a breakout game. Been saying that all season and probably the last three yeasr in many ways.

    I just can't see Melbourne kicking goals. Last week was potentially the best forward line, yet still nothing.

    This really is a problem. Apart from Clark, not only do we lack firepower but we also seem unable to bring the ball into our forward zone in a manner that gives us a chance.

    there is more chance of me doing the no-pants-dance with Katy Perry this afternoon than there is of us winning this match

  • Quote

    Howe , Watts ,Clark ,Jones as usual .

    Hoping Blease ,Tapscott ,Moloney and Jamar can lift .

    If we win 9 or ten positions/match ups we can win .

    It's a big if I'll admit .

    I don't care who stands up just hoping someone does.

    I'm at the point that being within 5 goals at the end is nearly as good as a win.

    So sad.

    • 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.
