Salem's smarts stand out in a team of nuffnuffs.

 

Tyson needs tighten up his disposal.

 

Watts looks good. Viney, Vanders. Hogan reads the play well 

Watts always 'looks' good :rolleyes:

Garlett has been good

 

Viney in everything.

Playing as a team, sounds as if we are just losing the shape in a game enviroment, easily fixed

Our defence is absolute SHITOUSE!

Why is it that when ever we tackle the opposition can still get off a clean handball yet when ever we get tackled .....


Butcher and Toumpas.

Two new nominations for the Kent Kingsley Award For Spuds Who Play Well Against Melbourne.

Good see that Der Wayne has lost none his vitriol for the Dees

ball movement is going to be a lot better this year, you can tell they attack with handball out of congestion, just a bit rusty and missing the final target a couple of times.

Oliver's handball technique looks a little strange. Seems to work OK.


same ol same ol crap the last min of that quarter garlands effort to spoil was phathetic

Blowing the cobwebs off. Just need to stick a couple of those handballs and we would be away

Doesn't help that this ground is enormous and any turnovers get punished with a goal over the top

He was Philthy about it too

 

Where was the outside pace I heard so much about in preseason with Kennedy, Harmes and Kent?

Backline looks very unorganised

Hope Brayshaw is ok

Oliver looks great

  • 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.
