    Good on the fella, but I don’t think there has ever been a much more underwhelming form line up forward for someone to debut with. 

     

    Heres hoping he can clunk a few and kick a few, but realistically I think after dropping Weideman they’d backed themselves in to a corner with Tim Smith now being injured. 

    Keep eyes on Buxton, too. Ready to go ...

    No expectations. 

    But seriously, if he can’t bag 6 on debut he shouldn’t be on the list.

    He does have an incredible vertical jump - and good hands at this stage of his career. These two qualities can only get better, more refined and more appropriately utilised, no doubt, as experience and good development take shape.

    It is wise to remember that some of the very good - to - sublime markers and aerialists were not talls, did not run miles onfield, and had limited speed. They didn't even have Dec's physical involvement skills, either, yet proved to be dynamic forwards because of good coaching. 

    Two that come to mind:

    • Tony Modra, 188 cm, 93 kg 
    • Warwick Capper, even shorter and much lighter

    Jurrah was excellent in a short career, he came and went like lightning - he was so fast! He could run a bit as well - all day. I also think he might have been taller than suspected, over 190 cms but it was well-hidden with his 50kg frame. Overall, yep, monoccular, another forward star outside the physical profiles preferred so often, today. To ram home a point: whaddabout the Wizard, Leigh Matthews, etc., etc.

    There is something special about a debut. Some players just fit in at the top level and there is a chance Dec has a great game and will have a career. Bloody exciting. And Drunkn being open lets us in so we feel like we know him already! 

    Go Dec, smash it!!

    For once we have a debutant that has had a great apprenticeship in the VFL (60 odd games). It’s a pity our other debutantes  haven’t had such a good grounding. I wish him every success on Saturday.

    I liked Keilty’s game today. I’ve never seen him at VFL, but his ruckwork was sound and he’s pretty mobile for a big guy. Keeps his spot for mine.

    I’ve watched him quite a few times at Casey and have always felt he has something different to say Omac or Weideman in that he doesn’t drop his head if things aren’t going his way.

    Strong pack marks and excellent field kicking to the right position are his strengths at Casey

    • 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.
