I don't know if this has been raised in other posts but I don't know why we only had two players with a glove on on Saturday night.

In such slippery conditions you'd think it would be a directive from the coaches to wear a glove. It seemed to be the case with the majority of Port players wearing a glove.

    Ohhhhhhhhh that's why we lost...

    Not Bailey, Morton, Moloney, Schwabb, Pendergrast, Spencer, Trengove, Scully, or one of the other million reasons that people here put up every day...

    We have played up there three years in a row. I expect that the coaches and the players would have weighed up the options and gone with what they thought was best.

    Fascinating new thread.

    Surely we just need to sack Neeld, Missen, the Board and 50 PC of our list, and buy them all gloves and the 2013 flag is a gimmee!!!!!

    I suspect he brought it up because Harford and Connolly briefly discussed it this afternoon on SEN. They seemed surprised that not many of our players wore them, but plenty of the Port players did.

    We lost because we have too many footballers with too little talent. Although I know that's a concept that some of you struggle with.

    I had a few problems getting my head round this ensemble at first, but it's got definite potential as an away strip.

    • 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.
