    I don't agree on The Weed.  He didn't get many touches, but he chased, tackled and crashed packs all night.  He found ways to get involved.  He wasn't amazing by any means, but he did the job we needed him to do.

    Not sure how Kent justified his recall. Didn't do much. Will give him benefit of the doubt that it's his first hit-out back. Tyson didn't start well but ended up being reasonably good.

    His tackling was a big improvement and a highlight, but he was still average at best tonight. Two holding the balls when he should have easily got a disposal.

    However, he didn't let Talia have much of an impact which was also a positive considering what Hurley and Rance did to us.

    Garlett read the ball in flight like no one else on the field. His goals were a valuable and timely contribution.

    Yeah, disagree with comments on Jeffy. Watch his efforts in the last qtr, bodied the ball, caused turnover -> goal. Never gave up.

    Jack Watts - much more involved than credit given

    Tyson's tacking was immense today. Iv been a critic but he went up in my estimations this evening!

    awesome Dees!

    Did you notice him not go for the ball, in the incident where he got a free for deliberate in the last quarter?

    He is great for us, but he has his cautious moments.

    Apart from 2 obvious turnovers, Tyson was really good tonight, applied great pressure, ran to space and had very important involvements.

    Clayton Oliver has justifiably got great credit this year for his sensational play.  I want to add Christian Petracca - what an incredible talent!  He did some unbelievable things tonight.

  • Quote

    I thought Hannan had a pretty good game tonight es well. Did some nice things. Oscar got caught out on Josh Jenkins a couple of times, apart from that a great team effort and Googy had a cracker as well.

    Tyson was extremely convincing in the second half

    Weideman's tackling was so strong and effective. I can barely remember him having a disposal, but for a young player, who is clearly out of form and struggling at the level, you couldn't have asked for much more.

    Kent- brings the mongrel

    I will be the first to say I didn't think he deserved a recall, and I don't think he was outstanding. What I did notice watching the game is that kent brings aggression around every contest and even off the ball. He is for the lack of a better word a pr!ck to play against.

    He aggression was contagious, and it caught on with his team mates (Weeds tackling was impressive).

    Petracca - like Tim Watson

    Tyson - influential second half

    Frost -brilliant defensive fisting

    This + the fact that when he beat Tex to the ball, he would look at Tex and then run around & away from him as if Tex was a witches hat.

    This. If you think Kent was poor - watch the replay and look off rhe ball. All the contests when JKH was getting outmarked the last few weeks, kent actually jumps at it and brings it to ground. His off ball work was good all night and he sets the tone for aggression in an area of the field that has lacked some. 

    With the ball, 20 touches and 2 goals is a good small forward's game. If he could kick set shots he could have had 3. Not sure why he doesnt run left in run up as he has a huge hook and always hits the right behind post

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
