    I'm not sure size is the mitigating factor here.

    I hate to say it, but Toby Greene is a superstar.

    There's no match up for him when the ball hits the ground.

    Yep. He's too strong & too good overhead for small defenders, a just quick enough for tall defenders not to be able to take him, a genuine game breaking player.

    Harsh on a couple here.

    Brayshaw was our only winning mid early. Fritsch kicked 3 up against an AA defender

    Oliver: An immature performance.

    Pickett: Proving me wrong.

    Mcdonald: Lost at sea.

    Spargo: Good despite miss.

    Rivers: lacks defensive iq 
    * a bit harsh but a lot of his mistakes are costly.

    We are in a good place and everyone chipped in when it was their turn, GWS got away with a lot of holding and crude tackles which caused them more pain than us.!!!

    why rest forward. He can't kick straight for goal.

    Gus mitigated a lot of the spread and pace GWS generated early. Could have gotten ugly if not for him, Langdon, Salem and Hunt early. They zoned well and stopped what was at the start a very quick moving Giants.

    Interesting Joeboy.  I think your a bit harsh on some, we did win easily from quarter time. But  always good to see another’s views.

    we were not perfect but I thought our back 6 worked it out really well. They will only get better with more games together. Tomlinson is far more composed than Omac or Frost ever was. Is frosty still playing for the hawks or is he injured ?

    Brayshaw's best game this season by far.

    I agree here and im a big fan, but he has to clean up some off his kicking 

  • Quote

    Rivers had 16 disposals at 100% efficiency, 2 contested marks and 3 score involvements playing at half back and last week he had 20 disposals at 90% efficiency, 4 score involvements and another contested mark. Not sure his IQ is much of a problem at this stage, he seems to make really good decisions with the ball in hand.

    Plays with a maturity beyond his years.

    " some of" ." Most of" more likely

    If if wasn't for Hunt stinking up his run with his kicking we'd setting loose the hounds onto Brayshaw. 

    Only Cam Bruce could  kick more up and unders   but he' d perfected the helicopter

    Dr D, I reckon the ability to go forward and kick goals is the next part for Oliver to develop in his game, especially as he will continue to cop close attention from the opposition. It's probably the one thing that will take home from being an elite player to a superstar.

    • 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.
