    For anyone watching - are Weeds marking and goals impressive or easy goals/free kicks?

     

    Thats better from Laurie.  Chandler doing quite well.  Pretty standard.  Run under a couple he probably could have marked in contests but doing quite well so far (at this level).

    he's working the f50 perfectly, just as he always does as the main option

    he and sideshow bob essentially play the same role - it's no surprise that they struggle to gel as a key forward combination

    Interesting that our otherwise magnificent brains trust can’t work out something that will get / allow the combination to work. 
    Something like -

    1/ Ben you lead right, Sam stay home

    2/ Sam, you lead left, Ben, you stay home. 
     

    Surely that sort of thing would have to stop double teaming and keep the defenders on their toes, even if either of BB SW had no intention of the ball coming their way that time. Can’t double team both.

    Never want to see umpire Nicholls in the AFL again. Absolutely clueless.

    Bounced one metres beyond the circle and didn’t recall it.   Do the umpire selectors just go on how many recalls are done so it is better for a poor bouncer to just ignore recalls.

    Weid’s getting to it a lot, but two-grabbing almost every time, and getting spoilt. Turner, Van Rouyen and Ellison’s marking hands are better. Would be shocked if someone doesn’t pick up Ellison in the MSD.

    I believe the MSD was just this week. I don't think Ellison was selected?

    Casey forwards can't buy a mark

    There's no immediate genuine KF option.  Mitch handy as a lead up or tall (get ball to ground) back up option for this season.

    Will need to trade in a big hitting impact forward for 2023 imv.

    Any notes on AVR?  How is he handling the slippery conditions?

    he wasn't, given that it was during the week

    surely someone will give him a chance at the end of the season

    • 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.
