The forward experiment didn't work, we all knew he was a defender or nothing, so let's just move on.

FWIW, I felt he tried to take players on too much today, with some attempts at selling candy or sidestepping opponents resulting in turnovers or him getting tackled. But he certainly looks far more comfortable down back and with his speed and athleticism he can provide us with rebound too.

That's actually what I liked so much about his game again today. His first instinct as a defender is to attack. He is the new breed of Melbourne defender. Gets the defensive job done and turns the play into an offensive one straight away. This is clearly how our FD want our defenders playing, hence Garland and Dunn being out.

    Didn't a great capt in the club once start his career in defense and built up to become a pretty powerful tal forward (Neitz)

    Frost definitely looks suited to the roll and should stay CHB for games where we've definitely lacked height and caught out at times

    Only because the Ox, Lyon and Jackovich we not down. He was a better defender.

    We will keep seeing this from all Dees players, they have said they have been told to be bold and take the game on. We are a second from glory and a second from disaster... It will get much better as we move through the year and into next year and we will be incredibly enjoyable to watch but have some drop offs.

    • 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.
