NO FIRE IN THE BELLY

I'm not sure what pederson has done to be selected at all, and Nicholson the only thing i can think of is he may have the pace to go with the smalls of carlton, Strauss and kent i can see being in the next top 8 Dees side so it will be awesome to get some game time into them

Not much use having the pace to go with the Carlton smalls ...He needs the ability to RUN at them and maybe beat them occasionally !!

 

good luck Dean Kent, give them hell son

Do AFL rules allow him to wear the cape, and his underpants on the outside? Or does he have to wear the suit and the glasses?

Surely Pederson is an out!

He was woeful last week. Barely got a touch. He needs to learn how to get to more contests.

IC: Strauss, Tapscott, Evans

Sub: Davey

It was between Blease and Davey for the sub. Davey is a better sub player.

Blease to get form at Casey and come back to play full games.

 

Not sure I would want to drop Pederson in the absence of Clark, Dawes and to a lesser extent, Watts.

Wrong Kent. Unfortunately Clark's out of the side. Coincidence . . . or something else?

Commentators everywhere will have a field day if Clark ever takes a hanger on Kent's shoulders.

"A Clark Kent special! Is he a bird or a plane?!" etc.

I would. He can't get a kick !

Jamar... Groin ????? Really ?? The usual "injury" excuse to drop an out of form player.

No, just the usual negative Demonland response to an injured player. Got nothing to say? Not a problem just Make Stuff Up.

He hasn't even trained this week.

Good Evans! Watts Clark Kent Dunn to the Flash? He's Gawn! Blease help him!

Whoa !!! If it's just the usuall Demonland negative response to an injured player then why bother highlighting it ?? Everybody must be commenting similarly to every injured Demon player if that's the case... !! He has played his best games with the Dees , I believe.. Loved him when he was capable but sadly those days could have passed him by.. We just need to move on as we do with several others... There are other ruckmen we need to concentrate on and groom NOW !! Jamar will not be part of our future...Hardly ever marks aroud the ground or kicks goals anymore.. I am not picking on him just seems coincidental that when some of our players are performing even worse than others they seem to find an injury which didn't appear to happen during a game ????

Call me crazy, but I actually really like those outs. The ins are a bit of an unknown quantity, but they're all goers and relatively hard runners.

The "outs" all distinguish themselves by (low) output, application and intensity.

The "ins" would appear to offer a lot more.

Might have a modest wager after all.

Interesting they tweeted Watts out as he was never in.

We cant afford amy passengers, need players to keep up with Carltons smalls.

Ins & Outs relate to the previous week rjay, not the squads named Thursday night.

As to the changes, I can't argue but I despair over the misuse of Blease. He should be playing inside the F50 at this stage since his ball use is not good enough to play elsewhere. He has shown he knows where the goals are and we will clearly struggle to score this weekend given the opposition and side we've picked.

I watched him closely last week and when he was chasingback through the centre twice taling Ash Mcgrath he was blowing very hard and struggling, that is what it takes to make it at this level, having speed is one thing but digging deep and gut running when your tired is what makes players

Quite happy with this week's selections [from what was offering] with the exception of dropping Davey for Nicholson. Davey has been good off-the-bench this year and is more likely to produce a couple of freak goals than Nicholson is!


I'm gonna call it now.

I reckon we'll get up this weekend.

Hehe, nice one Mac. Someone has to be able to say they called it should the miraculous happen.

Personally I am feeling a sense of inevitability about this weekend. Moreso than usual. Not a pleasant feeling.

Thanks 'diesel', I thought they were relating to the squads. Didn't notice Jamar there as well.

 

Pederson and the coaching panel need to realise that he is the missing tall from the backline. Once that decision is made, Pederson has a future!

Good Evans! Watts Clark Kent Dunn to the Flash? He's Gawn! Blease help him!

that is classic! its pretty much spot on for a south london accent!

  • 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.
