    I like Jack Viney but it neatly sums our forward woes when the coaches think our most reliable set shot is a dodgy left footer who struggles from 40m+. 
    He has kicked 32.29 from his 120 games

    Around 40m or closer i’d go T Mac. Over 40 I’ll choose Hunt, he holds the clutch award from 2019.

    I'm going Salem within 45m.

    Outside 45m I'd go a bit of a roughy and say Steven May who has a beautiful and long kick.

    My future up and comer however is Trent Rivers and I think he could quickly become the best kick in our side.

    For set shots he’s one of our worst.

    He is a bit like Maxy in so far as you put him within 15 - 20m straight in front and he gets the yips.  Further out than that, or hard up against the boundry right in the pocket, I think they go all right.

    If it's from the boundary, then Maxy is Da Man.

    I can't work out if this clip shows a replay or the second of these goals that Max kicked from the same spot in the space of about 5mins.

    The spray he gives the Bombers fan afterwards is gold and would be worth while setting up Max to kick for goal just to get up opposition supporters.

    Those stats say Weideman and so do i. If he gets a go this year it will become obvious....

    • 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.
