    Generous on Tomlinson who I thought was beaten numerous times tonight.

    Jordon may be rarely sighted but had 22 touches and provides an important link in the chain.

    Tough on Brayshaw again. He doesn't need 30 disposals to play his role for the team.

    He also got absolutely smashed in a contest and has been playing in defense. He just does the team role every single week. 
    When he ran on without a helmet I was just thinking his poor mum must be beside herself.

    A class act. Way ahead of Hunt now in value and effectiveness.

    Angus Brayshaw committed and courageous

    Alex Neal-Bullen career best form

    Jayden Hunt hiding to nothing

    I normally don’t try to justify myself but in the case of Brayshaw’s analysis I will explain .

    I’ve marked him hard because his disposal by foot is regularly problematic, nothing more nothing less.

    And for those who think I have an agenda , he’s in my top 4 favourite players

    Hunt won’t play seniors when Salem/hibbo are fit.

    Thommo looked like he was 5 weeks off the pace early, got better but tbh if Petty wasn’t injured he would be at Casey building form. 
     

    Kozzie needs to start around packs further out and just fly past, they grabbed him slightly a couple of times last night, be out a bit further and the umps will see it. And he would move opponents all over the place.

    Who did he tag?

    Agree JB he can spray a few but some of his foot passes last night were terrific. Hit his intended target laser like  lace out. Massively impressed by his courageous return to the field and performance after being seriously ‘collected’. Given his history of concussion. It was a big hit.

    So Neal Bullen has played a lot more midfield minutes so far this season and he’s been really really good. But I can’t help thinking that we miss his forward pressure and the downside of him playing midfield is that the ball is leaving our forward 50 with much greater ease now.

    I just can’t believe how this guy has turned his game around. A couple of years ago he was my number 1 delist and now he is a fixture in our team and deservedly so. Well done ANB.

    Agree TC zi thought Angus kicking and disposal was excellent last night both in style of passes and consistency on very good delivery.

    Jordon was good and I thought Tommo saved us plenty of homes in defence.

    Kudos to all in defence msybe Hunty was off but all the others stood up well and teamed together and agsin put pressure in the Suns in attack as did the mids.

    • 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.
