    Well deserved:  22 possessions, 15 contested, 7 clearances, 2 of which in the 4th qtr set up the play for our 4th qtr comeback and did all that with just 58% game time.  Far better than other candidates when % game time is considered.

    Simply awesome!

    Edit:  Here is the AFL story http://www.afl.com.au/risingstar Interesting that Clarrie credits Macca with the performance:  "'Macca' [Demons development coach Brendan McCartney] told me to see ball, get ball – just go hard at the ball and win it, and that's it," Oliver told Fox Footy.

    His first half was staggering and was given limited time in the second half. I can't remember a more exciting debut for us. That includes Flash Davey and Sean Charles.

    Fantastic result. Hoping that either Oliver or Petracca takes out the award at the end of the year. 

    It is great to see Melbourne have a mid like Oliver who can win the game of of his own boot. 

    Bring on round 2.

    At least.

    I'm backing Oliver in. 

    Kennedy is a fair chance.

    Danger or Gray for the Brownlow

    Dogs/Eagles/Hawks/Port for the flag. 

    $80 in total for the 8 scenarios. 

    I did ok this week so happy to part with it. Stranger things have happened but if one of them gets up....

    What were you thinking?

    Dogs??

    In the back half Murphy, Boyd, Morris and Picken all 30 or older and provide most of their drive.  Stringer makes their forward line look a lot better than what it is and their rucks are still a worry.

    Geelong or West Coast I reckon.

    Did anyone see Parish play? 

    Stats read well but some commentators today hinted at 1 - the opposition and 2 - the stage of the game when he got them. 

    Obviously early days.

    It really is a simple game that many try to make complicated. 

    See ball, get ball.  ??

    And add dispose of ball cleanly and effectively, which he also did to perfection.

    Wasn't it SY. Haven't been that excited for a young fella's first up for a long time. Must watch the last quarter. Was at the game but only watched the 1st quarter replay so far.

    I think the "draft bolter" has started to justify his selection. Well done young man! 

     

    Looking forward to seeing more of him.

    • 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.
