    Totally different players with different requirements for their positions.ie forwards need good delivery.

    Spot on and the only good delivery forwards got today was from our experienced miss like AVDB, Melksham and Jones

    A convincing win by a side that hasn’t played for 5 weeks is much more than an ordinary win. A foolish post. 

    as quoted earlier a heap of afl listed players against a team of youngsters ,afl players train to be ready for a call up to the ones so 5 weeks off does not mean a thing

    An absolute second half goalfest. LoLo may be a stylish way to get your lockdown home delivery but the floating rear suspension is so passé. Pump up your shocks!

    Enjoyed the Browns' contributions, Mitch unfortunately out with an inopportune injury, Ben showing something up forward and Campbell would be a major improvement in the big league. Talks common sense with more than a hint of authority.

    Plenty to like about  from the guys that played, both veterans and rookies. Is Aaron Vandenberg a chance of a recall at some stage? Body and Soul player at his best.

    He might be a good option high half forward manning a crafty hb type.  Will rotate through the middle.  Think he is back in the queue behind Jones.

    Essendon had 13 AFL listed players out there. 3 or 4 of our old boys excepted and I doubt they were any younger. Still, you’ve got an angry agenda, so whatever.

    didn't think I'd say it...but in the heat of September there might be a role for the body player like Vandenberg.

    Very good game today

    Bradtke down back was interesting. Didn't do too much but didn't make any mistakes.

    Cannot see any candidate to replace Hibberd next year if needed. May need to trade for that player.

    Baker is becoming good at this level.

    Maynard?

    What would have been a pass mark? Like specifically what did you want to see from him?

    He was a big reason we got to the Prelim in 2018… was brought back into the team around finals time, and performed brilliantly.

    Nuh

    31 pressure acts

    Jones doesn't have the legs to cover the ground and fill that gap

    Spot on. It's not a like for like.

    As well as covering the ground, much of the value of those small guys is to get a hand in here and there to disrupt play. It requires reflexes/quickness. 

    ANB is doing this consistently, even when he's having an off game.

    Jones is probably relying on someone to go down to get a game.

    perhaps what forward should do,lead,mark and kick goal .Its very simple if he wasnt gifted goals today by his team mates he might have had very bad day

    All KP forwards get gifted goals it is called team work. You also have to be there in the right spots. He had a good game and is a proven top level forward who had not played for a month. Good effort IMO.

    • 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.
