It's a funny time of the day to start the game (3:15pm) but I suppose the game now belongs to the Seven Network and not the people.

Question marks on whether the two named emergencies who missed the Casey game, Sam Blease and Cale Morton will replace someone i.e do we have a mystery injury of the week?

On the other hand, will Sheedy sneak his best player this year, Chad Cornes, back into the line up after telling all and sundry that the old codger needs a rest?

 

Just heading off. Lunch with mates first. This a very important game for us. Melbourne has shown some recent turnaround in form, especially against Essendon and the filth. After a break to freshen up and reset we must continue this momentum. Anything less than a convincing win against these losers is not acceptable and would set us back.

Interesting theory re Blease & Morton. Who are they capable of replacing, and are there rumours about any of them? Can't see it being a tall or an inside mid, so are there two possible outside mid/flankers under a cloud?

Its windy with the threat of showers and our backline already looks too tall. I expect it will be a tall for one of them unless there is a late injury to be covered.

Today I wanna see some real aggression, put Sheedy back in his box.

Not that it's any great shakes, but I'm tipping Cornes will play. Sheedy's desire to beat us will overwhelm development of a youngster on this occasion.

I like the start can close shop and get home to see most of the game.

Weather miserable here so the fire the footy and a .....

victory was where I was heading

GO DEES
 

People have been expecting a slog. At 12.15 the weather looks sensational - NO EXCUSES.

A day to showcase some skill.

Yeah Im thinking the same RR...Would be typical of Sheedy to start playing funny buggers with us any way he can.......

Melbourne v Greater Western Sydney at the MCG, 3.15pm

LATE CHANGES

Melbourne: Rohan Bail replaced in selected side by Sam Blease

Greater Western Sydney: Nil

FINAL INTERCHANGES

Melbourne: Matthew Bate, Jordan McKenzie, Lynden Dunn

Substitute: Sam Blease

Greater Western Sydney: Tomas Bugg, Jonathan Giles,

Devon Smith Substitute: Luke Power

So Sam got Bailed out !

Morton gets to have another week off.

How is this supposed to improve him ?

Surely a game with Casey to try & improve his deficiencies would have been more beneficial.

the only way to improve Mortons deficiences would be a long term residence at Moloneys Boxing camp, though if that was too tough for him then perhaps season as 'enforcer' at the Lingerie Football league

Anyone else listen to triple m with the Silvani interview. Stevo pressed pretty hard regarding fatty Phil. Silvani got pretty worked up. Unfortunately the others like Carey seemed uninterested. Would have love someone to ask whether he would have been recruited if his son wasn't Tom!

Curious observation . Though our banner obviously manned by cheer squad it almost looks like the giants have to pay ppl lol.

I'm in the same boat mate. So frustrating.

 

Pathetic is a word that springs to mind. Insipid is another.

  • 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.
