The 2018 Preliminary Final with its back to back goalless opening quarters was more or less a prelude to how Melbourne has been going this year.

    11 changes from that side to what will likely be named this weekend.

    That’s a huge change in the span of 9 games for a team that should be successful and stable. No wonder we’re performing poorly this year with that sort of change and instability.

    True although only Jetta, Hannan and AVB would probably walk into last week's side. Maybe Weideman. MAAAAAAYBE Tyson and JKH.

    If we must have this thread (and I guess we have to), we should agree to two rules:

    1. This weekend's game is not to be called "the Preliminary Final replay". Someone in the media will call it that. I'll accept "re-match", but only just, given the changes to playing personnel. But it's definitely not a "replay".
    2. A win will not be "revenge" for the result from the last time these two teams met. The stakes are very different.

    • 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.
