I'll be very disappointed if Dunn is a regular this year. I believe he can't get any better than what we've already seen, so if he's getting a game we either have too many injuries or the new talent (newbies, recycled players and those who have been around for just a year or two, such as Tynan) aren't as good as we need them to be.

And I suspect Jamar will be overtaken by Spencer by the end of the year. No disgrace there - the Russian is just nearing his use by date.

    Or it could mean Dunn has improved.

    What a weird thing to say.

    I understand your point but watching him at training I think he has improved, he looks in good shape and looks like he should be there. Those positions down back are going to be very, very competitive.

    Jamar is looking good on the track and marking well, injury interrupted his last season and I would expect him to hold down the number one spot with Spencer and Gawn keeping him honest.

    I think our midfield is our biggest problem but there has been a bit of grunt and a bit of class added and that will take time.

    Our foward line looks solid with 2 monsters and now a few experienced crumbers.

    Our backline is solid also with 2 key position players and a few versatile defenders.

    The thing I think that could help us is a run and carry defender with a long kick accurate kick.

    Strauss.

    I think he can cement his spot of a half back flank with this kind of attacking play, if he cant what else can he do?

    Big improver this year?

    Seen a bit at training, so my pick is Luke Tapscott. Hope to see him as a big impact player.

    • 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.
