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

How much game time did Angus play? Will he be fit enough to play an AFL game given his limited preseason?

    Would of played around 60 minutes 

    I reckon he is not 100% for yet but given his standing and the way the team needed him yesterday he will probably push to be selected

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

    I don't think they will play Petty and keep the backline as settled as possible. Sounds like Goodwin loves Petty so I'm sure hes' not far off though. Kozzie if fit will play no doubt.

    Still sounds like he is 2 games away. It is already clear from the preseason games that the AFL is not for players who aren't fully fit because of the interchange cap and normal length quarters.

    Biffo. I think we need to play Petty instead of Tomlinson plus Salem in for Bowey who will benefit from games at Casey. Kozzie in for Spargo plus the Mids that didn't play and we start to get a half decent side. Hibbo will need a couple more weeks. 

    I reiterate past comments that I'm worried with our depth. Just hope most of the newbies get some consistent runs at Casey and start to improve.

    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

    ROSMAN - Didn't have much impact , but that could be because the ball was hardly ever kicked to him

    I believe he played deep forward. ( Given reports from watchers that were there)  This guy is a natural winger!! IMO, I've seen him at training and he impresses with a few tricks. YET in a game dominated by Footscray where the ball was not forward all that much , they play him there??! I say MADNESS, Can someone who was there confirm this??

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
