Just checked back on the replay: according to McDonald it was Petracca. Makes sense really as Salem is a wee bit more reserved while Petracca has a reputation for being a bit of a card!

Salem reserved, definitely not, he is just not a bloody nuisance to all the other players like Trac is, ANB is the other pest

    I reckon our 22 is almost a lock (in red above), with only 2 of the 21 listed above "debatable in Spargo and OMac, both of which would suit us well out West. So the competition is really for 1-3 spots in our Round 1 22.

    Good spot to be in. 

    Spargo had a really good game,

    Agree. And I reckon ANB is also a lock for 22. Forward defensive pressure will feature large in 2020 I believe.

    And all the more impressive for having missed most of the pre-season, at least the match play part of it.

    Thanks DD. I am getting old but thought he mentioned Trac. In any case it does not matter who he refered to it was just good listening to Tom in commentary and I stand by that all the players seem to be really in a good space.

    Just watched the fourth quarter.

    TMac is so articulate.

    It was sad watching Daw. He was so bad.

    Pittard has one of the worst haircuts I've ever seen.

    Found it interesting that T Mac said they most wanted the ball in the hands of Fritta or Spargo when going inside 50.

    Spargo could be a dark horse to recement his spot in the 22 this year.

    His comments bout his brother were also interesting i thought, which in summary were:

    • Has bulked up, putting on 4-5 kgs of muscle
    • Much stronger through the hips and core
    • Has had a great preseason
    • His (important) role is playing the deep last line
    • If you are watching on TV or if live not watching him closely, easy to miss his positioning not grasp his role
    • Would like to see him be more offensively minded

    Mate, if Oscar ever becomes an elite defender, your bragging rights will be off the charts. Feels like you’ve been his sole defender on here at times.

    • 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.
