This was a crunch game that Melbourne lost after a strong start when it kicked 3 early goals against the wind at UNSW Canberra Oval but it then conceded the next eight goals in the blink of an eye and the game was all over at quarter time.

    The fixture is seriously messed up that this is the first time we play them this year, same as West Coast last week. All teams should play each other before there are any repeats.

    They will get Kelly and Williams back, has Greene been ruled out? with a couple touch and go. Davis is one to watch.

    This is going to be the single biggest game of the year for us. Make a statement and we will roll though September. Back the boys in this week no changes unless injured. We can do some real damage if we get on a roll.

    I seriously doubt that. Even if you don't count yesterday, I feel like we'll play at least 1 bigger game than GWS this year.

    Not sure if Williams will come straight back in. only played 1 game in 12 months. I think they will build him up for finals . 

    Greene the same I think. Kelly will most likely play.

    Kelly will play. Greene won't. They may have to bring in Williams due to having no other options following injury.

    Davis would be a massive out, but he's probably more likely than unlikely

    I can’t wait for this game. To be able to watch a game where a loss doesn’t bring doomsday tidings will be fantastic, and there’s a nice juicy carrot for us if we win.

    The players will feel the same pressure relief we all do. I’m hoping with the shackles off they may lift further. They may also flop - I hope not, but it would be understandable.

    Just looking forward to enjoying footy again.

    I’ll enjoy it even more if the Dockers beat Collingwood (propelling us into fourth place)!

    MCC predicting 37,000 on Sunday. Let’s get there and make it over 40,000.

    • 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.
