    I'd say Dawes hasn't pulled up well. Neeld was adament that Clark is playing.. So I would say they are taking Clark, Sellar and Pedo as the talls for the forward line. Otherwise we will be verrrrry top heavy

    terlich has had the most impressive pre season out of all of them but wont play?

    No Kent either?

    Probably didn't want to have too many debs, but both will be in the mix early in the season if their VFL form holds.

    Tommy Mc may well miss.

    So will be something similar to this:

    FB: Garland - Gillies - Nicholson
    HB: Dunn - Frawley - Watts
    C: M.Jones - N.Jones - Blease

    HF: Howe - Pederson - Byrnes
    FF: Davey - Clark - Sellar

    R: Jamar - Grimes - Sylvia
    I: Rodan - Viney - McKenzie
    S: Toumpas

    E: MacDonald - Tapscott - Jetta

    Not sure who will get the nod over Jetta or McKenzie

    The reports I've read are that Dawes has moved well, & has been rested to keep his hammies good.

    So I think, being conservative after serious injury, that Clarke will play again @ Casey, after only completing 3/4 qtrs last week.

    Remember his injury is career threatening so one more week at Casey may be good caution.

    So I think it could be Sellar, with Pederson in the pocket, & Dawes @ CHF.

    Either Sellar or Pedro can help Jamar, so its a nice balance.

    Well Neeld said about an hour ago that Dawes didnt get up. Soooo................. this is awkward.

    There would be a fair chance of of these boys will be the sub though. Its a fair point tho.

    I wonder if the Toump would be a sub, or vica-verca.

    Either way I think he'll play a shortened game in minutes.

    Toumpas as sub makes sense to me. Eases the burden on debuting players. Viney and Matt jones have been prepared to play round 1, lets see how they go.

    Sounds like no Dawes, sensible decision.

    Hope tommy Mc plays because I think gillies can play but he's not a strong big defender he's more of a third tall. That might make us very tall but the club obviously has faith in watts, Dunn and garland having the speed to play small. That said I thought terlich was the man for the last defensive spot. Have Nicholson, Jetta or Strauss done enough?

    'Oh', OK, I didn't know that.

    Well that does make it interesting...

    ... what chances TMac chf?

    Sellar & Pedro deep, with a small mobile forward zone?

    • 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.
