O'Mac punched it through... probably the right thing according to the commentators

Omac didn't punch it through. He was flying for the mark but a dark haired casey player punched it through. Can't remember the name.

    Spargo no goals and wasted kicking. He has a long way to go.

    Unlike him - usually it’s the other way around with very few possessions but good decision making. Probably lacking confidence. Still think he will be ok long term. He needs to develop some upper body strength to be able to stick tackles

    Doesn’t sound like the right thing to do given the scores and the time. But sounds very OMac

    The old backmans curse- damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

    have doubts on Petty, not sure he is quick enough (pace and decision making)

    Maybe Petty is just still thinking his way thru footy... and not yet playing on instinct.  Lets give him time. 

    Oscar is the one who needs his finger surgically removed from an orifice...  someone give him a rattle,  so he can move along to its beat.

    Sparrows performance was pleasing to read about. Seems to be a likely inclusion for Viney next week.

    Was hoping to read a bit about Sparrow’s game in the VFL match report. Nothing on him, not even named in the best.

    Saw Sparrow was an emergency for the Richmond game which suggests he’s still in the coach’s mind for a call-up.  Seems a likely inclusion at this point.

    Maybe he can be put in the forward line to add a bit of pressure

    Yeah- would have to be a half forward role.  

    Petracca to the midfield for Viney, Sparrow to half-forward for Petracca.

    Kielty WILL play VS Hawks, Mark it down. 

    Chance Oscar replaces him but I hope not - think we need potential of someone taking grabs up forward or going back. Could both come in to replace Weid but unlikely. Really need Smith, VB, May, Lever back and I think Baker will play in 2-3. So annoyed we put smith back on field to make groin worse he was PRIMED for marking fwd pressure dual role!!!

    Kielty, Sparrow in for Viney & Weideman.

    Thats the risk you take.  You dont rush a behind with scores level that late in the game.

    Yes you do as it gives you clean possession and the chance to move it 70 metres toward goal with one kick

    Although it’s not really ‘we’. It’s a VFL team.

    Think it’s we to most of us

    Preuss will come in for Weid. Keilty has done very little, only 10 touches he doesn't get the ball enough. ANB is injured too isn't he Corey will come in for him.

    I would wait on baker. No pre season remember. 

    Didn't really look the goods before he was injured..

    How the hell could you tell that about bedford yet.

    As a junior he didn't get a lot of the ball and was not a goal kicker.

    At his size he has to do more than just tackle, run fast...and get a couple of kicks

    He's following a similar path to another couple of kids that have been on the list, Dom Barry & Dion Johnstone. They looked ok but couldn't find enough of the ball.

    So...just a feeling I have. Hope I'm proved wrong...

    On today’s form, Sparrow and Keilty could come in.  Add Preuss back as well. 

    Think Viney out injured, with Weideman and Hunt to be likely omissions.

    Why are we drafting these types, small forwards who don’t kick goals and don’t have too many tricks, that is X factor?

    • 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.
