Hey Rob, any chance you’re in town for the opening round?

I’d love to, but unfortunately haven’t visited Oz since 2016!

 Anticipating watching our hopefully grand season from LA on the “Watch AFL Live” app. 

All the best to you.

    Don’t think there’s anything ‘quick’ about Pruess. He’ll back decent ruck backup for when Gawn needs a rest or gets injured... and that’s about it.

    That was like watching an interview with a less nasty version of Kylie Mole.

    You may be right having watched him closely at Shepp.

    However, I think my expectations of him were unreasonable. 

    I expected or hoped to see a big guy that could make an immediate impact. 

    Unfortunately, you can't help but compare him to Max and the difference is huge. But one's an All Australian and the other, a bloke who has been playing in the twos for North. 

    Preuss is still young and we know that big guys can take years to mature and find their feet in the big time. 

    So we need to lower our expectations and give him time.

    He has had little experience at a senior level and was almost forgotten at North. After a period in the wilderness, he has come to a new club and new environment.  

    If he is going to develop and improve, the club will need to give him adequate game time, and not have him languishing at Casey.  

    I still think his recruitment was a good one and that he will play a role this season, and, as you say, at least be a solid backup to Max when required. And Max and the club will need a backup.

    • 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.
