Predicting a monster game from Sylvia today. He's looking great!

Dr Turf has had a word to him apparently.....

What a kick from Strauss coming out of defence. I don't think I've seen a kick come out of def 50 like that all year.

Bail repaying the faith the club has shown in him by playing him so much this year.
 

Rohan Bail just cannot kick. He's not shane edwards bad yet but he's not far off.

Did alright just then, although the kick did't look great.

great job from the dees to grab the momentum back

If you're being tackled, it appears you can simply drop the ball and you'll be fine.

Can not take a trick this year. Jamar down after Spencer showed a bit last week but not on the park. I really think that threw us out a lot in terms of forward structure without Stef forward and it showed in the 2nd quarter.

On a big positive note - Strauss! A player with foot skills.


Any idea what the go with Grimes is?

Saw him running down the race after he hobbled off.

Currently crying a little on the inside!

Nice to see Strauss back in the team. His kicking has been a highlight.

Bail is a worry. I can't remember the last time he hit a target (excluding his kick for goal).

It's the AFL's attempts at "keep the ball moving", it's not rewarding the tackler and then in a disputed ball the person who actually tried to get it and is tackled and locked up straight away gets done with no chance of getting it out.

On the game, I think we're really going to struggle with only one ruckman, Stef you can already see is doing it tough. With that in mind the mids, in particular the in and under need to be able to crum off the freo ruckmen and a few players like Sylvia and Howe may need to go third man up a few times.

Positives:

Good to see Green with two goals, we need him to kick a bag if we're any chance

Tom Mac seems to be ok after his bruised lung and is doing some great defensive things especially with dropping his man to help Chip on Pav

Nicho is doing some good runs, he just needs to have an idea of where he's going because he tends to run himself into trouble

That goal from Bail came because of his hard work to create an option, will be highlighted for sure during the week

We were able to come back and settle in the second quarter after it looked like freo would run over the top

Strauss out there

Negatives:

Our disposal still let's us down, we are our own worst enemies

Jamar down

Grimes may be down

Rivers, Howe, Garland MIA

Ankle, seemed to land awkwardly then the freo player landed on it.


Not being pushed around. Strauss with the laser boot. A lot will depend on whether Stef Martin can run the game out in the ruck. Don't want to see Col in there again. Ricky P needs to lift- they are really quick out the back.

agree re Ricky... seems to be unable to keep up

  • 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.
