Matt Jones' disposal gets found out even at this level.

    Pretty lacklustre game so far, Oliver in everything but Casey just lacking class.

    Trengove's footspeed has improved but he still lacks explosiveness.

    Quarter Time and that was the Doggies quarter. However, their poor kicking is keeping Casey in the game. Bullies 2.7.19 to Scorps 2.1.13.

    We need Matt Jones' run, by my god, we cannot delist him quick enough. At this level there is no excuse for turnovers like that, but yet he consistently makes them.

    If you come back from a broken collar bone after 2 weeks then every player should be testing it out anyway they can.

    Exactly what I thought. Can be used to rev them up but that was completely over the top

  • Quote

    Dunn is an okay defender but his ability to rebound is almost zero.

    Time they played smart and put a small near him that could take the handpass and run.

    The days of the big kick from the back line are well and truly gone

    Footscray way too fast with their outside run.

     

    The same lack of speed and transitional thinking that affects the Dees afflicts the Scorps too.

     

    Dunn is a lovely long kick but he gets caught between pushing up to the contest and dropping back all the time, and the less said about Garland the better.

     

    Footscray look way better after one quarter.

    Why not? Didn't lose anything in that scuffle, but maybe regained some ascendency. Gotta spark the troops somehow.

    Im all for testing it out but Dunn ran towards him, grabbed him and completely threw him to the ground for no particular reason.

    Stupid.

    Depends. If It makes Fottscray want to hunt heads instead of the ball then it's a good move. If it makes us want to keep going with it then it was a bad one.

    Far far too predictable & easy for the dogs to defend. Long kick or switch, nothing short and no run then kick to get over the zone.

    Yeah, it was quarter time and obviously planned. Can't give away a free so why not. Nothing wrong with it in my mind.

    Just letting Jong know he missed an easy shot and testing out his shoulder. Hopefully it fired the boys up a bit. Dunn was good that quarter. Unfortunately the midfield didn't work hard enough and got found out for speed. Going to need to close down the corridor and start getting some decent link up and actually hit targets.

    Run and gun and pressure at the breakdown will always beat the kind of waffley predictable sideways nonsense Casey are playing. Oliver knows how, otherwise it's gonna get very ugly.

    Oliver is so clean and dynamic. Man crush is growing!

    • 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.
