Great photo.

While Pedersen is behind Ebert, Pittard is not far behind Pedersen, and could easily be Pedersen's man, but Ped is coming to pick up the loose Ebert.

Can't tell from a photo.

No excuse Lynden Dunn, and Sylvia has been comprehensively out positioned by Hartlett (who is a star, btw).

    ...but his stats show that he 'won' 35 hitouts and is 4th in the competition!!!

    Which just shows how useless is that particular stat - I don't recall even one resulting in a clearance.

    There is a stat "Hit-Outs to Advantage" recorded by Champion Data however they refuse to release this info publicly and none of the media sources seem to think analytical stats are worthwhile. Suffice to say his stats in that area would be well below 4th. When we re-signed him last year for 3 years I though it was a huge mistake and I stick by that. 3 years for a bloke who has had one passable season in his 10 year career - ridiculous.

    Just maybe the problem and the solution is the centre square setups and the midfield coach Choco Royal?

    Why didn't Jamar tap it back if our mids were behind their Port opponents? Tapping it to your feet is never going to provide clearances.

    Where were the coaches and Craig at quarter time to instruct Jamar where to tap the ball?

    Why did the defence 6 have huddle after every goal scored against them? Whatever the reason it didn't do any good.

    we don't need photos to prove that our midfield have no idea on how to position themselves at the bounce either offensively or defensively

    they have been clueless at this for years

    what does brian royal bring to the table? Nothing.

    our most important line needs the best line coach the club can get

    Jamar is the problem? Seriously, he was one of our best, at least he knew where abouts to move on the ground and provided some contests.

    there's a difference between knowing where to go and actually getting there... Every one of the 6 Dees supporters I was watching the game with were in a mix of laughter and tears at his "efforts" to get to contests...

    • 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.
