CHANGES: Rd 03 vs Essendon

WERRIDEE
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

I think Essendon are forced to play a few kids this week which could be why Howes may be under consideration.  But I'd say it would be incredibly unlikely.  1st year players would have to knock down the door  to break into the side.  I've heard positive things about all our draftees from last year but nothing to suggest any of them will get a look in for the first half of the season (unless we have significant injuries).

    White Diamond for me BBO and we had a boot bloke to nail the stops in.

    And the umps inspection before the game in the rooms to make sure there were no nails sticking out that may result in nasty tetanus laden gashes on lovely soft pink skin.  Not likely to apply to BBO whose skin was already coarse.

    Yes, I remember that ritual Ernie.

    Also we had to pay ( I think 50 cents) for the pleasure of playing. Insurance.

    Through to the keeper, bowled Shane,  and bowled Uncle.

    Anyone know where we trained today? From the training gallery it looks like we had a run at  Port Melbourne’s home ground.

    Thanks Dof, just curious why we didn’t spend much time at Casey this week. Earlier in the week I’m sure I saw us having a run on one of the rugby fields at AAMI. 

     

    Well you'd think if there was a Blake Howes debut we would have heard by now..

    Yeah you’d expect one of those calling mum and dad videos or the boys getting around him at Training after Goody informs them prior to or after the session. 

    Maybe they'll show him calling them in tears after he debuts as sub and doesn't get on the ground....?

    Maybe something to do with a light week on the track, after a tough road trip and only a 6 day break.

    • 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.
