That score assist was good, but he did undo that with a bomb into the 50 at the other end in another quarter. When he had 2 forwards providing leads. It's just inexperience, but you would hope that someone would bring that up and show him. 

Kozzies long bomb to nobody that scorched a free Hannan I think happened early. He later lowered the eyes and gave off a beautiful pass to a leading forward. The kid learnt very quickly unlike some others.

    Ah ok, I thought it was the other way round.

    I think coaches would just mainly worried about consistency of messaging and game plan. Bit tricky bringing in an outsider for a day and having them instruct your players to do different things to what you're trying to make habitual for them.

    Different habits would be a welcome relief to supporters

    A smart coach would come up with an idea for players to trial instead of the indiscriminate bomb.  How about a 30 metre worm burner into open space if there is nothing on offer? Give the forwards half a chance instead of zero and no opposition defender would ever expect it.

    Considering we are a 'contested ball' team, you'd think that would be the play. Keep it on the deck where we can at least be competitive, rather than in the air where we are inept

    A commentator mentioned somewhere that Ken Hinkley instructed Port to do just that against West Coast to negate McGovern and Barass. It must have worked, Port flogged them.

    I still don't get why we bomb it to our forwards.   Either Goodwin says bomb it and we do, or he says don't bomb it,  but the players don't listen

    • 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.
