Word.

Really?

Brown and Petrie combined kicked 3 goals and neither was ever that dominant.

Gawn was smashed by Goldstein in the first quarter but fought back after that and by the end of the game Goldstein wasn't as dominant as it looked like he was going to be.

This game wasn't lost at the selection table, it was lost in the first quarter and with the subsequent errors made by senior players.

    Plus Waite their big men provided targets all day and allowed them to move the ball quickly.

    Gawn was out on his feet in the third and got soundly beaten around the ground.

    Providing a target is one thing. Akum's post suggested they'd dominate the game - they didn't. Waite played well later in the game but Brown was subbed off and Petrie hardly influenced the game.

    Besides which, looks like Fitzpatrick would have been a late withdrawal from the seniors anyway if he'd have been picked.

    • 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.
