    I really want to see Langdon stop and prop to assess his options today. Brad Hill is someone who does this well and when you have that acceleration you don't need to just run off the moment you get the pill.

    Cue the trade-in May vs. pick King comparisons 

    There is no comparison. King will be a star for the next 10 years. May was what we needed at the time. 
     

    Tmac to toe a behind for a 4th qtr last play victory that catapults our season!

    Yep his ball use has been trash and a major disappointment. Because other than his ball use, I’ve loved his run and spread and his speed on the wing. But he lets himself down with execution and decision making time and time again. 

    Melksham needs a big game today if he wants to retain his spot. When he plays well we play well forward of the Centre so fingers crossed he can pull a finger out today.

    I'll preface this by saying yes, I know, all that stuff since 1964 and over the past 18 months. But even before the media pile-on I detected something different in the players as they walked from the field after our last match, heads hanging lower than usual, and then also in the post-match presser with Goody. They are frustrated with themselves. Relocating operations interstate is undoubtedly difficult, but I think this week is a character test. Line in the sand stuff. If they don't come out firing then I'm not sure what hope we have.  

    Carn the Demons!!

    Big games expected from Viney, Oliver and Melksham

    As long as we continue to look to draw a ‘line in the sand’ we’ll continue on with the mediocrity mentality. 
    We need to be at peak mentality at all times.

    I've got a cherry coke to keep me happy if we lose  

    Was Lockhart practicing his [censored] golf swing during the warmup? Is this under 10s?

    I miss watching the set shot kicks for goal before a game while I eat a four n twenty pie. 

    They will miss it when they count

    I feel that it's reasonable to resort to cliches while trying to amp myself up for a game I've been pretending all week not to care about.

    Can we assess, hold up when needed,  look around and pick the right options.  Then hit them up particularly up forward?

     

    Do we play that ridiculous front half zone tonight as per the Cats and last year against the Tigers?  Hopefully that's well behind us and we bring the pressure intensity on our oppenent through the corridor.

    Can the Weid take a few grabs, get involved and hit the scoreboard?

    How does Harley go?

    Do Salem and Melk finally show "SOMETHING"!??

    Good luck fellas and lets hope we pull a finger or two out.

     

    Visible change in game style so far. Let's see if it continues.

    • 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.
