     , Rosman roved well off the pack and snaps our first, followed quickly by a smart Farmer goal. 

    More of this please DZ  :)

    Gus a lot more involved this quarter, accumulating some possessions and delivering forward. Hasn’t moved from the centre corridor. 

    Petty going well, has taken a few intercept marks and read the play well. He’s on Schache and has only got away from Petty once this quarter.

    Is Laurie playing? saw mentioned he was warming up but haven't heard any mention of him in the game so far.

    Laurie started half forward and to be honest he hasn’t been involved a lot. Declase I haven’t noticed much either, I think he’s playing on the wing.

    Yes he's out there,  to be honest i hadn't noticed him but he's pretty short so blends in a bit. 

    Anyone know what number,  if they're playing,  Deakyn Smith and Declase are for those others that are here? Wouldn't know them if the bumped into me. 

     

    Pickett got involved a bit that quarter,  took on Johannisen twice with mixed results but looked busy.

    As mentioned by Dee Zephyr Petty took some very nice intercept marks down back against a decent opponent. 

    Ugle-haden went for a huge speccy on the members wing and in the excitement the umpires missed the push in the back he did to make it happen

    Declase is #45. Big unit with orange/yellow boots.

    Smith not sure, but they've been calling #40 "Deaks" so that could be him.

    Brayshaw said on his podcast thing with Max during the week that he'll only be playing a half, so don't think we'll be seeing any more of him today

    Haven’t seen Daw this half so far and he’s not on the bench,  possibly rested along with Gus as I didn’t notice he was sore or anything like that. 

    Score 85-21 and rain settling in.

    98-28 at the final break. Not much else to report, Petty solid all day, Kozzie still buzzing around. If this was the game to choose between Declase or Daw I’d be going Daw for a list spot. 

    Thanks for tuning in, I’m following Goody and Yze out the door.

    Final change scores 14.14.98 to 4.4.28

    Being completely outclassed here,  unsurprisingly.  

    Daw and Gus just played a half.  Pickett on the bench to start the last may also be done for the day. 

    Good to see the Wizard here to support his boy.

    Jesus, they did look to have a good side on paper, but I was not expecting a 100 point demolition.

    Well that’s it the bulldogs slaughted us 133 to 34 number 65 kicked the last goal disappointing day Pickett was rested in the last quarter Rosman played forward pocket would have preferred to see him on a wing like DeClasae was

    As expected.  Injuries and AFL listed players rested.  Dogs have a full list right now. Somehow teams seem to go through the preseason with minimal injuries but others like the Demons have key players out even before round 1 starts.

    Other teams don't have the burden of the Norm Smith curse ...... no offense.

    Can someone give a player to player run down on how the fared yesterday?

    Cheers.

    The Dogs were on top all day but we did not stop trying it was a game played in our defensive half

     

    Declase  - played well given the Dogs were dominant, took at least 5 marks, has a long kick on him, only his first game so needs time to build confidence

    Kozzie - gun, excellent fitness and tremendous work ethic, tough, fast and athletically gifted, he can definitely play midfield, side steps, twists, just a ripper 

    Petty - great defensive game considering under the pump all day, plenty of intercept marks, will slot straight in if May and Lever need help, would prefer him play instead of Tomlinson

    Laurie - worked hard, got caught holding the ball trying to do a side step but didn't let it demoralised him, would like to see him play wing in the same game as Baker to get a read on who has more impact 

    Rosman - didn't have much impact but that could be because the ball was hardly ever kicked to him

    Angus - he was captain for the day, you can tell he is a tough, classy AFL level on baller

    Daw - did ok, big frame, reasonable fitness, didn't pluck any massive grabs, ok in the ruck

    Petty should play round 1, either back ahead of Tomlinson of forward instead of T mac.

    Kozzie is a lock.

    If Petty and Kozzy get through full games next weekend then they're absolute locks for round 1 imo.

    • 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.
