I think he's still in the top 22, or bottom 6 - either way, there's not much excitement at Casey coming through.

Not true - casey smashed port and Michie and Riley had monster games. Done enough imo.

Dawes is behind Pedo - he's best is behind him

    Michie and Riley are good VFL players who struggle to make the jump to AFL level.

    They were worth recruiting but IMO they will always be depth players at best.

    why not Dawes out for Spencer in?

    And Spencer and Gawn can swap as the second tall forward

    Personally I would like to see Fitzy brought back in and try Tommy Mac up forward for another week. It cannot do any harm especially as they are both of a similar age and have potential to play in our spine going forward.

    Dawes will play....no other choice.

    Sadly I suspect that you will be proven correct.

    However Spencer as a deep forward could hardly offer less. Can mark. Can and will ruck. Can kick goals (when his foot actually contacts the ball). Can and does tackle - CD#6 had zero tackles last week. Zero tackles from "an imposing big man" is far too few.

    T Mac stays down back. He has to go back to playing in front and taking those intercept marks. It smells of Frawley putting him forwards. And Frawley smells of [censored] and [censored].

    Would be happy with that

    I like Spencer, he gave us plenty when he was in the team.

    Yep Dawes definitely Out

    Garland or Howe out for Grimes. Not sure about ANB

    That will do!

    Can you define can kick goals? And can mark, is that can mark inside 50 as well?

    Different type of players.

    Pedo is still injured I think?

    Out for the season. While we have a great injury list it's frustrating because it feels those that those who are out could solve some constant selection issues.

    The Lions midfield looks ominous on paper. They haven't clicked yet, lets just hope its not this week.

    Risky against a quick side like Brisbane. Only have to look at our last handful of games against GWS. Last year on the 'G, Gawn played forward. We got killed off half back. Too slow. Having said all that, I'd take the risk though and try to stretch them like we did Geelong.

    Of course! It seems funny at the time but the subs always cry after a jolly good flogging!

    I swear I just jump between threads and find you saying exactly the same thing, BBO. :P

    Is it any riskier than Dawes playing? Give Spenser a crack and I'd like to see Newton given a couple of games in a row. Outside run is great, so is moving the ball quickly by foot.

    That was Tomlinson having a field day against Dawes.

    Gawn was shown up more, IMO.

    I just remember Tomlinson having the game of his life running off Dawes.

    One things for sure 'Adam', Max is a ruckman and not a forward and if we go in too tall we get killed.

    I would prefer us to go in with Tommy Mc or Frost when available forward and pinch hitting in the ruck. Petracca will step in as a forward/mid next year but maybe another mobile forward would help if (when) Howe goes.

    • 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.
