I'm curious. When I read this I expected the last word to be "congested", not "contested". Both are correct, but with the 't' and 'g' so close on the keyboard, I'm just wondering which word you intended?

I meant to write contested, but yes it's also less congested.   The reason I mentioned that the game is less contested is that it probably won't suit us given we play a contested brand of football.  A less contested game may also reduce Gawn's influence which is our strength.

    Is it only me that's worried about big M's form / fitness after last week? 

    Looked a fair way off his best.

    Looking at the numbers as well...only 7 effective disposals, 1 tackle, 3 clearances, 2 contested marks, no marks inside fifty and 0 goals.  On the plus side he did have 8 one percenters and 4 intercepts.

    Gawn has performed poorly in round 1 for the last few years now so it’s not too much of a worry seeing as he’s ended up as AA in the same years. FWIW Grundy was even worse than Gawn last week but look how he went last night.

    Where’s the weekly ‘What they’re saying down at .........’ thread?

    Need to kill an hour and have a bit of a laugh before the team comes out.

    Wow, that is some supreme confidence they have over there.

    I expect them to win but gee, you'd think they'd won the last few premierships the way they talk their own ability up.

    There was a similar theme on the Freo board last week, although not quite as supremely confident.  Anyone who plays us thinks they should win.

    Am I the only one who thinks Oscar Baker still has something to offer on the wing?

    Possibly but he needs consistent form at Casey first


    Anyone else hate the AFL's change to releasing teams at 6.25pm the night prior to the match?

    I miss the days of Thursday night teams for all.

    • 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.
