    Not often I agree with , but you were pretty close this week ( or was I ).

    ANB and Hannan have been the surprise packets for me this year.

    I am officially on the Hannan bandwagon. Love his ability to throw it on the boot quickly around goal.

    And I agree ANB has been great the last few weeks. I also think JKH has looked at home since coming back, although a little quieter today.

    If someone said Jones and Vince were available next week, i'd find it hard to find 2 names to drop from that side.

    Can't believe this but I agree with you on Tyson. Got heaps of, was important, but gee he was wasteful.

    27,000 is pretty ordinary considering all the obvious good reasons to go. How much more incentive do you need?

    Oscar- what is with that. Thought he was quite steady and although no damage done,  what is with spoiling into the most dangerous spot possible ?

    I'm a Tyson fan and the good news is, he gets to good positions and attracts the ball  but yes, prolific but wasteful.

    Jetta. Bluey in my book. Just a great story and a damn good  bloke. Well done Nev.

    Has always been his problem, poor disposal. It needs to get sorted out.

    Actually I don't think it's a hard call.

    Vince replaces Trengove whom wouldn't have played had Bernie not been a turkey last week.

    Jones replaces JKH.

    I hope Trenners is being judged on merit rather than group think, or bias???

    I was watching him for signs of slowness today and was actually pleasantly surprised.  I didn't see any concerns in his speed other than fatigue during a chase nearing the end of the game

    I dunno, Vince is averaging just the 20 touches this season, and with that comes the semi-regular brain fades in defence and occasional stray elbow. He has slaughtered Sloane twice but most other mids aren't tagged out so easily. If Trenners can lift his output a little next week (20+ touches), then I'd have no qualms with Bernie coming back through Casey.

    The ground level MCC members nearly made up for it . They heartily boo-ed the umpires  and that naughty " Number 22 " .

    ANB- becoming a weapon

    Hannan- draft day steal

    Average crowd for a Port Adelaide game at the MCG is 25.5k. Nothing wrong with 27k today.

    Tbh, I think it's the opposite, the same as his return last year. Few posters were willing to admit he was poor prior to the bye, but then he was dropped. We all feel for him with what he has been through.

    I'll get shot down for being negative, but he added very little today. He made a good tackle early which the umpire incorrectly called against him but other than that, was a bit out of place. I'm OK with giving him another game to make sure but he was a long way off today. 

    He doesn't have a get out move in defence. Hunt and Hibberd can run, Jetta is extremely evasive, Trengove lacks a move with front on pressure.

    Good turnout imo.  Considering we struggled to crack 20k against the likes of Port and Freo during our finals years in the 00s yet have managed 27k against both this year despite not playing finals for a decade says we're doing okay. Collingwood a so called powerhouse managed 35k against them. I'd say that's a good ratio relative to membership and support numbers.

    Seven turnovers.

    A lot of those were under very little pressure too.

    • 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.
