    Pretty good summary. Appreciate your recognition of Brayshaw. Was a big part of our early dominance.

    I love Salo, been a fan for a long time, but I wouldn't call 7 turnovers and 3 clangers from 17 touches "efficient".

    Agree 100% I hate his little dinky kicks and handballs. He needs to deliver long 50 yard kicks to someone in a good position. He has the kick in him to deliver longer. Just wish he would.

    I don't rate the assessment of Spargs, who I thought was at his excellent best.

    Far too generous on Viney. He was horrendous. 5 free kicks against! I repeat 5! Many of them holding the ball.  

    Must be close to getting dropped now. He plays dumb football.

    Viney - Thinks he's Judd

    Harmes - Thinks he's Dusty

    ...bit harsh as they had their positives but this is what I was thinking when watching them overdo it.

    An otherwise pleasurable game to watch apart from these brain fades and a period I think at the end of the 2nd (maybe 3rd) where we went into luxury (s...a...) mode.

    I was born in 1980 my first words as a baby were mum, dad and Robbie Flower.

    Let's see how the finals play out this year.

    I am hoping Oliver goes to legend status at Melbourne

    If we win( or when we win) the 23 plus all the balance of players and  coaches and FD and Board will all be legends!!

    Then the status can be apportioned in sounder and saner times!!!

    If we make the GF I'd be recommending to every single Demonland poster and reader to back Oliver for the Norm Smith.

    • 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.
