    Will be a tough game, good to have stability.

    English stays in, Bruce brought back, Johannisen too.

    If Preuss can hold his own against Grundy last week, then I'll back him in to do the same against English.

    Bruce doesn't worry me at all, although he has that 'Kent Kinglsey' vibe about him.

    Johannisen will give them some dash, so he is the pick of their 'ins'.

    Love the fact we made no change and I think, on paper, that we should be knocking them off by 3-4 goals.

    Good selection. Looking at the emergencies, it shows me that we have a very fit list at the moment with a lot of depth. Any of those four could have been slotted in and there would be little argument.

    Crozier is also a pretty good in for them.

    That’s fine, good to test ourselves against a full strength side. To borrow a modern footy term - football audit.

    Doggies close to full strength, looking pretty solid across all lines.

    A credit to the club to have the list in such great shape after 3 months off and then all the short turnarounds 

    most teams making 3+ changes

    TMac is a little lucky ... hope he hits the game hard and successfully.

    What was the question mark on English? Any way we can exploit it?

    I felt that Preuss held his own against Grundy (with Grundy clearly the classier player) so hopefully that may give him some confidence going into this match. 

    Settled teams are usually good teams, happy to take the same group from the Pies game. I feel like we win this week finals are well and truly in sight, and we can push further up the ladder. A loss and we’re back to the pack again, back to fighting.

    I thought he was starting to gain a little confidence over the last couple of weeks, he’s getting to more contests and bringing it to ground he just isn’t clunking marks. His hands just don’t seem to being coming up in a confident way, it’s more like he’s swatting. 

    But through his contested work we got a few goals last week, steps ahead.

    Bruce in worries me.. he kicked 4 last year when he played us and ragdolled Omac.. how will Lever go one on one.

    That's some handy ins for them. Crozier and Johannison are good inclusions also.

    Unfortunately not as confident.

    I love it!  Both teams at near full strength.  Should be a good contest and go some way towards sorting the real contenders from the pretenders.  I think we are the former!

    English likes to drift fwd to create a miss match , something to keep an eye on

    The main area exposed last week v Grundy was the pies ease at getting it out of the centre clearance, if Preuss can halve that this week we should be fine

    • 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.
