    Grimes - future A grader (More consistant game time and he will be one of the top players in the comp)

    Blease - play the percentages (Sam tries to thread the needle too much at times, tries for the impossible, with experience he could become anything)

    Watts - he can play (time for the critics to get off his back)

    Neeld - resolve under pressure (no honeymoon period for the coach, he has stood up well. Will take us a long way, hopefully to the ultimate prize)

    Grimes was doing a little more than sweeping in the final quarter - He hit every contest at 100 miles per hour.

    Overall pretty spot on wrap JoeBoy

    Welcome back JoeBoy. I have missed your excellent input. I don't always agree but most times you are spot on.

    Excellent analysis 'joeboy' . Hard to argue with any of it . Trengove was much better - his last quarter was terrific . Howe picked up 24 possessions in another solid performance . All our players made contributions .

    Has no doubt been told to take the game on. Doesn't yet have the confidence. He will get better and better. Is only 5 or 6 games into a career.

    THE TEAM- hard at it

    That quote reminds me of Travis Johsntone. Hopefully Blease will turn out to be more consistent than TJ.

    Trav won many games for our team . If Blease wins half as many games for our team in his career as Johnno we'll have done very well .

    Judging a player on his draft number is wrong IMO . Travis didn't ask to be picked no.1 . Same as Watts . These blokes are 18 years old when drafted and totally under-developed .

    If you went through every draft since it's inception you would put all the players in a totally different order . Every single time . The draft always turns out to be a guide only - it's miles away from being an exact science .

    If you had TJ at pick 15 or 20 we'd all be falling over ourselves at how much of a bargain we got .

    Melbourne Football Club - Played finals-like football.

    Neeld was spot on when he said contested, hard football wins you finals. We saw a brand of football on Saturday night that will win finals...one day!

    Blease effective? 6/12 disposals were clangers

    This was his worst game of his career sorry.

    He won't be writing to his grandparents about it but he was bold and brave for a quarter and racked up the touches until Dustin Flecther remembered how much of a [censored] he likes to be and kneed him while he was on the ground.

    And he has been a ghost at times, Sam. It was good to see him be bold and brave - we need that.

    Noddy (our nickname, Nephew of (our) Dentist) was so nearly brilliant IF ONLY his kicks had travelled just that little bit further!

    Haven't seen the clumsy nasty Fletcher for a while, thought he was playing out his career nicely.

    • 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.
