Tyson - was actually shocked to see Carazzo come to him on Saturday, was told by coaches to just keep playing the way he has been told to, was pleased with his defenisve efforts

Pretty good compliment for a kid lining up in his 17th AFL game.

    I told him that, still think he needs convincing on how good he is

    On that note, at the end of the training, Vince, Tyson and Nate Jones had a goal kicking comp for lunch

    This is in the left pocket next to the fence so about 30 metres and a 15 degree angle, Tyson put all three of his shots through for a goal post high with his left foot...much to the other two's disgust, Jones got 2 out of 3 and Vince missed all three

    I reckon a fit Nev Jetta running through the mid field would be like having another Jack Viney.

    Seems like a great bloke. Hope he gets a go soon.

    Not surprising though, the guy is an absolute ball magnet. The first of many tags, I'd expect. Still can't believe he landed on our laps.

    Yet the "experts" still think we should've taken Kelly.

    F-wits.

    You haven't heard about Josh Kelly?

    Future brownlow medallist, that kid.

    Ask around, there's plenty of people who haven't even seen him play yet, but they still know that much...

    Oh well...that's the way it goes. Tyson looks a future Brownlow chance to me.

    I know. The concept that a high profile trade could be a win for both parties is one lost on the halfwits that comment on our game.

    Looks like it could be at this early stage.

    "Nev Jetta said he hasn't had anything about being elevated"

    He's the obvious candidate. As far as selection goes, he and Clisby must be neck and neck.

    sounds like he's banging the door down on the seniors. Good reports on his casey performances.

    What is the "Watts" goal kicking approach? Walking in slowly or something?

    They both explained it to me, part of it is the 'relaxing', Roh Bail was worried about it the second he picked up the ball to go back and prepare, basically Watts has told him to just do the routine like Watts does, he counts the steps backwards, relaxes his shoulders and drops his arms and takes a long slow breath, sights the goal, starts slowly and then tries to just make it one smooth flowing action coming in.......the main point is not to worry about anything just concentrate on following the simple routine...seemed to work for both of them on Saturday, if you watch you will see the similarity.......watch Dunn if you want to see something completely different

    I switched off when you quoted Damian Barrett.

    Yeah that's how I got good at golf after being a hacker most of my life...

    Your routine controls your thoughts so anxiety can't.

    I hope Nev gets elevated , he is hard and with full fitness will be valuable . More of a footballer and around the same size as Swan Ablett senior and junior . Allthough god would give him trouble

    I thought I noticed him & Jack saying something to each other after he nailed that goal.

    Great initiative by Roh Bail to seek out the best set shot in the club & ask him how he goes about it.

    From all reports Salem played well last week. How did he train? Any idea how soon before we see a debut?

    • 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.
