Cant wait until we have 2 big marking forwards down there....

That’s the key. We just have to win ugly at the moment

    We are heading for a convincing 3 point win.

    Just have that feeling again

    Defensively we are playing very well. Backline superb. I know they are missing a lot of their forwards, but so are we. 
     

    Still a pretty rusty game. Feel like we are just lethargic at times.

    Lever and May are killing it. Great to see TMac playing well.

    So much for Harmes huge preseason. He has been jogging anytime he has to chase.

    Our mids are still getting sucked in and Freo are getting it on the outside

    Oliver needs to kick faster, over playing it and its putting pressure on others and himself.

    Couldn't agree more.  Needs to get first option away quickly once he finds space.  Playing as if there's no opponent out there at the moment and lairising a bit too much

    Lesser lights standing tall. Like the forward pressure from Spargo, ANB  etc. Key backs great again.

    Should be six goals up though.

    There are a few doing it. Rivers has overused the handball a few times.

    Same old same old. Still too many players who just aren't reliable when the ball comes near them. Hunt, Harmes, Tomlinson etc. Jetta off the pace.

    Clayton Oliver - surprised to see he'd had 18 possessions. Needs to do more damage.

    And on today's performance, I'd be playing Daw (if fit?) over Jackson, who just looks a bit lost.

    Probably take a few games for most to reach full match fitness with the longer quarters and run off a few excess gym kilos of muscle (for some).

    Jackson undergoing concussion test.

    • 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.
