Geez, they miss Greene. Wouldn’t they like a quality finisher tonight?

I’m sitting at the giants attacking end. It is so hard to get through. May Lever and Petty. Such an amazing defensive structure 

Rivers looking back to his best too so far.

    Getting schooled in clearances. God help us if our back-line ever decided to take a day off

    Pressure around the ground outside of clearance work - is better than usual today. We have definitely done our homework. I watched GWS last week against Freo. Seems I wasn’t the only one. We dissected that and went to work implementing a strategy. We are forcing them to bomb it in.

    Can’t win a stoppage but held them goalless.

    Let’s see if we can 2 weeks in a row of goalless halves by our opponents.

    I said it would happen. There are a handful of teams that do this to us year after year. Our turnover game is on tonight which makes us look much better than we are actually playing.  

    Defence is holding up really well but we need to even up the contest.

    Yes, which our system is built to defend really well. But given we are built on contest, why not start in the middle.

    • 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.
