    Werribee have just outclassed Casey everywhere. Hulks been pushed out up the ground well and the delivery has been average going forward.

    Delivery has been average and Tigers have had numbers back.

    #27 playing on Hogan having a good game. Would be a good replacement for the current Red & Blue 27.

    Is Viney playing? Any info?

    Viney cracking in hard. Looks stuffed with no rotations in the last qtr. will be playing afl next week.

    If Viney gets through 4 quarters I would be very surprised if he didn't play Brisbane next week regardless of performance.

    Just left it was bad not one player put their hand up, Barry would be the best demon and would have been an outstanding game for him if he didn't butcher the ball

    Not easy conditions in Darwin. Trip + heat + lacking match fitness = probably suited for the sub.

    Just got back from the game. Unfortunately must have caught them on an off day because it was like watching Melbourne earlier in the season. Poor skills, poor decision making, poor work rate.

    Of the Melbourne listed players:

    Hogan - was isolated after Sellar and Davis were injured early. Seems to have a decent engine as he had to roam far and wide to get possessions. 3 goals was a good return for not his or the teams best game.

    Strauss - need not bother packing his sun screen or tropical kit. Terrible decision making - would like to have seen his kicking efficiency - doubt whether it was over 20 per cent - just coughed it up time and time again - no presence for a supposed a-lister.

    Rodan - looked lively until injured - should probably have played down south yesterday.

    Davis - looked as though he was forging a good relationship with Hogan - presented well early then rib injury - I was standing near the interchange and he couldnt breath without pain.

    Gillies - spud

    Couch - quiet then injured

    Tynan - still light framed - not sure if he will get a chance this year

    Magner - in the game all day but suffered from the team disease of poor disposal when it counted.

    Pederson - had to take over the ruck - took some good grabs but see Magner

    Barry - quiet early but after quarter time lifted his intensity and work rate - is quick and could be a good kick

    Sellar - head clash put him out of the game early - hard to assess

    Joel Mac - spud - bad disposal bad decisions gave away stupid free kicks

    Viney - fairly quiet - in and under - doesnt get much clear possession - always seems to be under pressure - will improve with a run

    Tapscott - again, quiet and struggling to impose himself on the game - not likely to get a call up on that showing

    Werribee's physical pressure told on a lot of the Casey players - this seemed to affect the decision making - became handball happy and, like the seniors, guys started to shirk the responsibility and handball to someone else without considering the position of the receiver who was more often than not in a worse position. That is what I mean by shirking responsibility, not physically shirking - it was a pretty physical game and all Casey players went in hard. The mental side of the game wasnt there today.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
