'He was taken off the ground at three quarter time due to some stuff at AFL level that we just needed him to be ready for but we were really happy with Grimesy.'

 

I reckon he was on standby for Jetta, who looked out of sorts on Monday. Injured? Sick?

    In: Grimes, Michie, Harmes.

    Out: None

     

    We could potentially see an unchanged team on Sunday, it depends on how everyone pulls up after the 6 day break.

    Surprised Hunt is not mentioned as a possible candidate for omission . Whilst he is intermittently spectacular , he surprises on  a weekly basis with his low disposal numbers .  I would love to see Grimes get an opportunity .

    Watch the game and have a look at his impact. I wouldn't have thought it needed saying that its not about disposal numbers. Josh Gibson regularly gets low disposal numbers. Do you think the Hawks would omit him for it? Or Cyril....

    Last time we had a 6 day break Roos say they erred by not changing the team, can't see him not changing it....

    True, but the weekend before the players had a nine day break which would pretty similar to having a week's rest so the players shouldn't be nearly as tired this time around.

    Agreed.  Also, I thought Hunt was very good in damp conditions vs Hawks.  He thru himself at everything and kept the ball on the ground.  That doesn't count in his stats as he attacked the ball not (tackled) a player.  Think he knows how to play on a damp surface.  Keep him in.

    Talking of the Hawks game, hope our guys remember to not bounce the ball - it doesn't bounce on damp surface!  The poor bounce Hogan got in the goal square while comical would have been tragic had Kent (I think) not come along and kicked it through.

    • 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.
