With Garlett out we have very few avenues to goal. Just threw $50 on a big win for North. We are going to get done this weekend. Disappointing start to the season after so much promise!

    Dont despair, he will be back ready to go vs the FIlth and I expect to be 3-2 after 5 rounds 

    We will bat the FIlth and Ninthmond

    With the profits LD you can buy half a can of VB to celebrate/commiserate.

    It's just poor timing. We are struggling with attack at the moment. Garlett is the one constant who always gets a few goals. We really need Kent, Vandenburg and others to hit the scoreboard and spread the load. With Hogan down on form and getting double teamed due to slow ball movement it becomes really important those others chime in.

    I think it's sadly, a pretty safe bet.

    Yep - just like we were a sure bet last week.

    Possibly.  However, if you play Frost down back then I think it makes it harder for him to give Max a chop out in the ruck.  It would leave one of their tall forwards with a smaller type player and I'm not sure that's what we want.  Bringing in Wagner might mean that Frost still plays forward (if picked) and Lumumba acts as the third tall, with Wagner and Salem providing the run across half back.

    Unless they just get Frost to follow Brown around the whole time and follow him into the ruck when Goldstein has a spell?

    Just means Gawn goes head2head with Goldstein the whole match except when they're both on the bench.

    Yes I picked GWS too, I really rate them and thought we were away when we beat them.

    I still think Garlett 100% plays.  

    It wouldn't surprise to see Pedersen dropped for someone like Stretch, although I'd feel as though we were one tall short, unless they plan on playing someone like Lumumba on Waite.

    So I'm on fire this week... :wacko:

    What's with the [censored] communication? No wonder the club isn't respected when they spill [censored] like 'he will be 100% fit' then 2 days later he is ruled out

     

    Are you really silly enough to think that is what leads to a lack of respect?

    They all do it.

    That ridiculous statement from Misson is anything but good gamesmanship. Just another reason for people to laugh at us.

  • Quote

    100% playing is akin to "he has the full support of the board". Always to be taken with a grain of salt and usually means the opposite of what is said.

  • Quote

    Embarrassing form from Mission.

    Clearly overruled by the coaching group. Embarrassing.

    Look on the positive side you can get that $50 back by putting $10,000 on North to win as they have an even better chance of beating us now.

    • 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.
