Was it that or the "tad too wide" kick from Pedo?

I've seen enough of Grimes, Garland and Matt Jones.

Kennedy and Bugg very underwhelming so far.

I've seen enough from Dunn as well.
Plays with self preservation foremost in his mind.

Does anyone know much about Brayshaws injury? Any chance he did an ACL?

Crutches aren't a good sign. 


We look like we're playing our first competitive hit out for the season. Haven't been very impressed with the defending when they are in transition from defense (very loose). Tyson gets it a lot but is the new Brock McLean (running in treacle). Kennedy and Hunt look lost out there. Salem, Jetta, Gawn, Watts, Viney all look pretty solid. Have liked the few touches of Stretch as well. Vanders looks rusty but that tackle! Lets see how they run out the 2nd half.

Good point Rusty but he did get two hands to it and didn't look in Pedos direction. 

 

Disappointed with key backs inability to body-up... Oscar needs to make body contact when trying to spoil. It was always going to be an easy shot for goal, what has he got to lose if he gets pinged for a free? Kennedy has been disappointing, as has Hunt, but I'll cut all of them some slack this early in proceedings. Frost has got his hands on it but disposal and decision making has been untidy. Jetta was good in first quarter but was outsmarted a few times in second. I know this is negative but these are my observations to date. In the second half I would like to see better decision making, less panic!

halftime;

after Jordie ver1.04beta testing went nowhere I think Jordie 2.0 is AFL certified.

We are at least 5% better having Kent out there.

Gawn monstering.

Lay off Tyson he probably has some mild concussion.


Too early to call for the team, but the Demonland gameday thread ... business as usual.

If it's a sprained ankle they'd have him on crutches.

no ACL otherwise he would have swelling and a massive bag of ice on his knee ;)

Agree For Grimes and Matt Jones to get a game even in an extended bench is an indictment of our depth.

FWIW Throw Tom Mc Donald up forward, move Frost down back. I also agree with the opinion already expressed that Oscar Mc Donald hasn't and nevr will have it!

From what I've heard on the radio Watts is having a crack and playing well??

 

Good to hear.

He started off as his timid usual self but has been solid since then.


Just showing Brayshaw sitting with cruches in the rooms and getting no attention from trainers. Could be precautionary hopefully. Scans will determine what if any damage has occurred. 

For the love of God pls don't let it be anything serious. We need all our good midfielders on deck. 

Half Time stats Gawn has 31 hit outs, need to be to advantage, and if so we need to CAPITALISE

Took a terrific, gutsy mark on the hb under a tonne of pressure. 


Brayshaw with a medial strain no biggy

Goodwin just said "slight medial strain and won't be risked" with Brayshaw.

 

Why the hate for Oscar McDonald? Firstly, The kid has played 2 AFL games and is now only in his second season. Secondly, key talls take a while to fully develop. Don't count him out just yet, I thought showed some good signs at the end of last year.

Need to fix the kick into our fwd 50

  • 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.
