Bit warmer where I'm watching from.

Imagine if the game was at Casey. The Box Hill area is not that windy except the ground is exposed on the Middleborough road side.

I am starting to favour 16 a side at VFL level for a year or so. May open it up and improve the talent base. The games have become very scrappy in recent years.

Jeffy almost unseen so far.

    @Diamond Jim you are right with Jeffy. I dont know what he does at this level. I'm not sure if he is playing deep or what is going on - he has been on the screen so I know he is there, but very rarely on the screen. 

    Johnson working his way into another year contract. His speed and kick off half back is quite nice - needs work and is still a little headless chook like, but he's had 3 so far and had a few great tackles as well. 

    Box Hill all the attack for the second quarter thus far (6:40 in). 12-10 the wind playing havoc.

    Tempo just went up with another goal from Box Hill. Felling more like the Demons are there to top up Casey rather than the other way around. Lockhart, Matchya, Lok, Wagner, Gent doing most of the heavy lifting.

    Lucky goal for Lockhart. 2 Box Hill player bang into each other and Lok picks up the loose ball and gets it to Lockhart.

    Bugg stiff with a terrible "nominated ruck" free kick against. 

    The boundary throw in,  in horrible conditions,  flew so far off target it fell into Buggs lap 15m+ away from the ruckmen. Instead of throwing it in again they paid it against him.

    Melbourne listed players to half time: 

    Garlett: Cannot see him playing for the dees again this year. 2 ineffective touches, no tackles, 0 chasing. He is very lucky that Goody isnt at the ground. Garlett was moved around the ball now, but still not having an impact. 

    Petty -  I've been really happy with his game. Used and read the ball really well and looks like he has a good future in front of him. 

    Kielty - been strong in the contest but doesnt seem to get as much of the football - seems to be more stopping. 

    Johnson - love his run and drive. Could easily see him getting another 1 year contract. I think that he is developing the part of the game Jetta struggles with - that run and carry. 

    Bugg - In and under but seems to be there at the stoppage and then you dont see him until the next stoppage. 

    McKenna - if you see him let me know. I watched today to see him and he has barely been sighted. 

    Smith - started really well, but has kicked 0.3 and really should have nailed those ones. 

    Wagner - really clean when others arent and has really shown some great skills. 

    King - Out of the 2 ruckman, he is the one I'd be keeping. Great jump, tackling hard, and showing some good signs around the ground. 

    Flip - good tap work but not as much around the ground.

    Lockhart has to be a good chance of getting picked up by someone this year

    Lockhart gets it back to 12 with really fast ball movement. Not sure who from the back 50, so it was Freeman to Matchya, to Wagner to Lockhart. Great ball movement.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
