Tuggers celebrating goals like they matter. 

 
 

No surprise to see the Tigers get on top here.  If you're watching it carefully, the mistakes are coming from the depth players who are being given a run today.  It also means that our work from the kick outs, and even the run from defence, isn't working how we'd like.  

That's what JLT is for, though.

    I want Salem to be a midfielder - but he just isn't. He is far more effective down back.

    Yep agree King. He's just not quick enough instinct/reaction-wise. Nothing wrong with being a good disposer coming off HB though.

    I’d seriously play Petty or Frost over OMac. He’s getting outrun by Nankervis for god sake.

    Petty has been one positive in our backline so far today.  Has already taken three good grabs and has used it quite well.  Positive signs for him.

    13 scoring shots to 10... hm....

    He's slow in the head and slow in general play. He reminds me so much like Garland in their seemingly lackadaisical approach.

    spargo... 65% gametime for 1 possession

    He’s been rubbish. He was poor last match too. He doesn’t get involved a lot, so he needs to make the most of his opportunities and currently isn’t. Jeffy however has been good the past few marches and should be in the team round 1 on form.

    Pruess has been a big disappointment today. Someone his size getting tackled and pinged by small rejects like Mac Weller is an embarrassment. He’d wanna turn his form around or he won’t be playing much senior footy this year. Very uncompetitive today.

    Stands out when our defence is butchering the delivery

    • 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.
