    Stretch's pass to Hogan who then kicks a goal. I'd say that that hurt the opposition.

    Redleg and I bumped into Joeboy at Tommy Ruff's fish place in Elsternwick during the week.

    Can we have a three word assessment of the tucker that night?

    I'd go again

    Absolutely boring game.

    We won but I am not convinced we are advancing in our gameplay nor standards. Turnovers were shocking AGAIN!!!!

    time to end your life we won.

    Howe- Probably our best

    Probably cop some flack for this but Howe was close to our best today. He was everywhere and laid some important tackles.

    By no means does it make up for his poor season so far, but credit where credit is due, Howe was very good today.

    Brian Taylor - clearly no idea

    "Jeremy Howe has had a fantastic season"

    "No velvet trumpeter today. Usually for Melbourne home games you see him at the start of the match"

    It's ignoramuses like him overrating Howe that will help us get overs during trade week.

    The new trumpeter was there yesterday. He was just starting up when the siren sounded - short quarter - so he held back and started again in sync with the PA.

    Surely club recruiters are a little bit more with it than some of the buffoons in the media.

    One would hope but then we have had some shockers not so long ago.

    Dunn outstanding season? Bollocks!

    To be fair to Joeboy, Dunn has spent most of his career out standing in the field somewhere, usually pointing. But I'm with you. I think Dunn was outstanding last year whereas this year I think he's been a bit hot and cold.

    VandenBerg : had kicking yips.

    Harmes - showed a bit.

    What I liked about him was his clean hands and his ability to kick with both feet. 15 disposals and 3 tackles isn't bad for his second game.

    His kick to advantage to Vandenberg in the first quarter was also good.

    I thought he was great. Stood up well in the contest for a second gamer. Liked his patience and ball use.

    Its the small things you look for in these early games for the younger guys. Saw similar things from Brayshaw in the first few games from tackling to battling hard in a contest and eventually breaking out with good ball use and decision making. Harmes is on the right track.

    I also think Stretch does a lot of the small things really well. Runs well and positions himself well. The defensive side of his game is great. Layed some terrific tackles. Look forward to seeing him develop.

    • 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.
