    He'll be fine next year and beyond, but at the moment he does one good tackle a game, misses plenty, gets pushed off the ball too easily and can barely kick over 35m. He's young, a good decision maker and will be fine in time.

    Today we should have won and clinched a finals spot, but failed as we always do.   Changes must be ruthless.

    In -              Melksham, Hibberd, Kent, Hannan,  Keilty, Wagner

    Out  -           Hunt, Garlett, ANB, JKH, Pedersen, Spargo

    the only good player who is that short was boomer Harvey. just don't see anything in spargo that suggests he will make it, I mean the kid hasn't even learnt a set shot routine!!

    Out: Hunt (drop even if injured), Pedersen, Spargo/Garlett

    In: Hibberd, Melksham, Hannan/Kent

    Assuming Hibberd and Melksham are both fit, the first two changes seem obvious to me. We need to drop one of Spargo/Garlett (leaning towards Spargo at the moment, not because Garlett was any better but because Garlett's upside exceeds Spargo's at this point) and I'd try whichever of Kent/Hannan the FD thinks is best-placed to make an impact.

    If we want to drop a fourth I'd drop JKH, who's reached his AFL ceiling and it just isn't good enough. Bring in both Hannan and Kent. Leave the other of Spargo/Garlett in as we need a crumbing forward.

    ANB was useless but we have to back in our core players, of which he is one, and put the onus on them to improve.

    Garlett had 16 pressure acts, equal 6th for us. Tackle count isn’t everything 

    Did he poke his tongue at them on the way past.

    Hogan kicked badly today but to say he should be dropped is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. 

    Someone mentioned he is low on confidence??! He kicked 4.1 last week.

    Hogan was pretty much worst on ground today

    If he'd kicked the 2 sitters he missed, we win and play finals - massive let down from a bloke who is well overdue to deliver

    Play Petracca at Full Fwd next week and Jesse at Casey

    Jeez . . . you don't like him do you GYM? This would be the same Hogan that finished with 19 disposals and 15 percent of our score I take it?

    MacDonald, Spargo, Oliver, Tyson and Brayshaw all missed sitters.  

    Well over due??? He is 22

    19 disposals at 42% efficiency

    (9 pts also not 15% btw)

    If he could kick, we win and play finals

    • 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.
