 West was won.

We went up against a side which was playing for a spot in the 8.  We were belting them, until the weather intervened.  Once again, the umpiring was atrocious.  I'll take a win the West anytime.

VDB - Worse than Fritsch

Umps - Played for Eagles

Absolutely nailed it 

How does Vandenburg get chance after chance. Was slow and dumb and missed two definite shots that should have been kicked

I think this is your best work Joeboy, that said, a touch understated on Bowey & Petty who I thought were outstanding.

James Harmes! A bit more humble pie as a late night snack for several Demonlanders, who wanted him banished. You know who you are.

 Bit harsh imo , guy got hurt in the first ten minutes. 
Speedy recovery Hunty.


Hunt - Taylor calls Langdon

...and the camera is right on his face as he's getting his ankle checked by the physio on the boundary line.

To be fair he couldn't see his number.

Also says gawn will struggle with tbe distance from 45 metres. 

The bloke is just about the longest kick in tbe team!

Petty doesnt do much wrong. Very good player as is Bowser who will be the most inexperienced player to play in a Demon premiership in at least 60 years.

 

Enjoy the next 6 weeks fellas.

TV commentators are dckheads mate. Amateurs.  One of the clowns was going on about how Melk cracks in week in week out.  I mean do some research. Every part of that sentence is wrong.

 

Sidenote: Melksham always plays well after a spell and then fades after a month or so.

 

Double sidenote: VDB is pretty ordinary and Sparrow is solid, i like him.

I agree on Gawn but Rivers can kick it post high from 50m out and go 20m into the stands. I'd back him to be the longest kick at the club.

Umps hate Melbourne

Thid state of affairs has become so very obvious. What can we do about it? It may not be hatred from the umpires, but it is condoned, approved, never questioned by the AFL and its glorious myth of an equal playing field - highighted by an abnormal free kick differential between sides playing the one game of football, week in and week out.

In the Dees' case, any progressive movement of the ball is interrupted and directly interfered with in a very arbitrary manner where the consistent application of 'rules' and 'interpretations' is grossly prejudicial and arbitrary to their continuing disadvantage.

It is time for Pert to directly question the AFL itself with mounting evidence of such flagrant abuse. There is a template for the detriment of the MFC in the approaching finals - well rehearsed and grossly invalid - but no-one seems to care.

Fritta to rest / be managed due to all the head bashing he received from the Eagles. Replace with JSmith.

Gawn swings his foot and leg in an arc to the left when kicking for goal. He should lead his kicking action from the knee with a bent leg and smoothly extend the knee joint when making contact with the ball.

  • 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.
