Two who i thought showed a bit today especially couch who seems to have added a bit of pace about him. Looked much better then Magner who was unsighted but Couch got a couple of clearences and his kicking wasn't that bad at all. Will be watching his progress with intrest over the Nab Cup.

Matt Jones showed a bit of poise and pace and i thought his kicking was quite good. Was trying to pick up the tempo of the game but couple of games and id have him Round 1 on the wing.

    Jones needs to lower his kicks a bit, probably something that comes with adjusting to AFL. Seems ok though.

    Couch did show a bit, but he was a fresh in the second game. All we know based on last year is that Magner has the edge on Couch but that could change.

    I think it comes down to injuries as to whether Couch or Magner get upgraded and a spot in the team for round 1.

    I didn't notice Jones that much.

    I thought Couch showed a bit aswell, certainly looks to have Magner well and truly covered.

    But at least having blokes like Magner and Couch fighting hard for spots will set the benchmark.

    Magner locks the ball up .

    Can't get it on cleanly ever .

    I hope he is only used sparingly because he hasn't got the skills for AFL.

    Great attitude but hey call it Football for a reason .

    I spoke to Couchy at Family Day and mentioned he seemed to have picked up a yard of pace, he puts it down to a no miised session pre season, feeling really good

    Also spoke to Matt Jones, asked him about the step up and Dean Terlich, said it was only NAB Cup but difference in speed of game hit them both, but both really enjoyed it

    • 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.
