Dean Kent is someone who I have high hopes for without being hysterical over him. He has actual hardness at the ball not fake bravado and yet still has a skill set to match

    Kent wants to model himself on another tough and skillful left footer - Luke Hodge.

    What summed it up for me about this bloke (and by extension, the rest of his team) came with about 30 seconds to go in the game.

    After Byrnes (don't get me started) slipped and turned the ball over, the footy fell to Cale Hooker who is 19 cm and 16 kg heavier than Viney.

    Hooker looked at him with contempt - no doubt bought from his smaller stature and (more importantly) the fact that 90% of Melbourne players seem incapable of sticking a tackle.

    Viney wouldn't relent. He put his head down, tackled (hard) and brought him to ground.

    Didn't win a free or anything, obviously didn't influence the result, but this is what I would point out to the players as my first and main point to the players at the review.

    A bloke with a crook ankle in his second game showing up a bunch of much more experienced players.

    You don't have to be good to run. You don't have to be good to shepherd. You don't have to be good to tackle.

    • 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.
