    As much as I despise the expansion clubs, I have to take my hat off to Gold Coast. I hate the modern terminology of a team's "brand", but you can actually see a definite system of play emerging. Can't believe I am saying this, but I actually enjoy watching them.

    Swans wearing South Melbourne guernseys. Nice touch. Just remembered that I walked past the old Brunswick Street Oval at lunchtime today and there was a junior girls game on with one side wearing the old Fitzroy guernseys.

    It's important to the future of the game that GCS have some success. All those Auskick kids up there drowning out the Ausbiff kids or Austhump (or whatever the RL equivalent is) have to have something to aspire to. They're the future.

    Dogs Swan's game does have a bit of a Retro look to it.

    The first time the dogs kicked it deep I was half expecting to see Rod Carter take a mark in the goal square.

    Yeah, that's right. He used to cop so much [censored] from opposition fans sitting behind the goals.

    Sydney having a dip here at Marvel. Played an impressive 1st qtr and are capable of winning this.

    Being at the venue, the roof should always be open on overcast mild days like today. I don’t agree with the 100% roof closed policy.

    so does that mean masks on while seated?

    No masks required at seats.

    Syndey dominating uncontested disposal and marks which is a good recipe for winning a game.

    Stewie Dew is too good of a coach not to have a clear bit of brand/dna/team values/mission statement/vision statement/actionable item/a ha moment/blue sky thinking/competitive advantage/core competencies/deep dive/key take aways and lazer focus for his team not to play well some of the time.

    Seriously good player Dawson, probably in the top 3 for kicking in the AFL.

    A great game of footy between Dogs and Swans, Swans looking really good.

    Docklands seems far less soulless with the roof open I think. Perhaps the key is to pencil in all daytime games for the 3.20pm time slot when the sun is lower in the sky to negate the so called glare problem.

    • 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.
