If Vanders remains fit, and if his form in 2’s warrants it, it will be an interesting selection. As a forward, he is a bull like Petracca, but with much more heart and a bigger tank. I think either Petracca or Melksham would make way. 

As an inside mid, I think  Vanders would force Jones to a wing or half back spot, as I think he has more to offer than Jones in the middle.

Given his pace and tank, he could play a wing position successfully, but if he comes into the side, his best fit may well be down half back. An unusual position for him, but his strength, his defensive attributes and his dash from half back could well be a welcome addition.

    The club has an ex player invited to every main training session now,

    The Wizard was last week

    That is a great initiative by the club, great way to build a link between the players and former greats of our club?

    Probably why it explains Anthony McDonald was down there.

    Maybe Allan Jackovich next week??

    • 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.
