    Good summation again.

    Thought Garland was ok.

    You've got a thing about Kent and awareness, I think it's more concentration.

    Howe - Park Footballer. Take a specy and snap a goal. That's about it.

    Toump - Very good. Getting better by the week.

    Gawn - Will be great for the experience.

    Kent - less said the better

    Interesting to look at Watts' stats. 10 disposals, 9 contested is a good sign, but 60% efficiency is not what we expect from him even in the wet.

    Better that Davey I guess.

    Howe was a forward in a team that scored the least ever inside 50s, a bit hard to critique a player like him especially when everyone's been screaming when he's played in the midfield/defense.

    Frankly this was just a tough week to judge full stop, they went in as hard as we've ever asked of them and competed in clearances but just didn't have the poise or polish the cats do. And to make matters worse defense was something the cats were focusing on. The goals were always going to come, but they really wanted to restrict us and they are a team that usually gets what they want.

    Melbourne Team - Went in hard

    Many overrate Howe, but that is over correcting it just a tad don't you think. We could have had Wayne Carey or Jesus Christ himself playing forward today and they would have struggled.

    I've got a feeling the time is fast approaching to move Howe full time into the mids, & Watts to take Howes role, wing/half-forward flank.... with Fitz in the pocket & I'd play Dawes at CHF... this year.... Sylvia on the flank, changing onball.

    • 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.
