    I don’t think he will drop milkshake. 

    You might be right.

    But i was thinking they might drop him, not for form related reasons, but because we so obviously need a second a tall forward and if Tmac is not ready, Weed is not even in the frame, they don't want to try JVR then Smith is the only other option.

    I don't disagree with that assessment, but Smith has played like 3 games for Casey as a forward this year. I doubt he is the answer if we are lacking a second tall.

    If we desperately want a marking tall target up forward we will risk Tmac or punt on JVR. To me Smith is more of a medium forward, so would be a replacement for Fritta if he doesn't come up *heaven forbid*

    Amazed that Melksham and ANB keep their spots. I don't know where the goals are going to come from - hope we find form, but seriously don't know how we kick a winning score especially if we play the pockets.

    Melksham was kicking well, saw him slot some hard snaps, on the run and from the boundary, today.

    It's obvious he wants to be in a grand final, he cemented a spot, now has to hold it. I imagine he will have set himself up this week at training, to get it right.

    I will be disappointed and surprised, if he we don't see an improvement in his game this week.

    I'm a bit perplexed by this comment. The fact no grammar/ punctuation has been used means I'm forced to decipher the intent.

    Are you saying Uncle is the loverly WCW? If so, I can categorically say that WCW is loverly (lovely) but is not Uncle, although I would pay money to see them meet.

    If you're saying Uncle is loverly and every Lander thinks so, then I think you have miss read a number of posters. I have no doubt however that the Maid is lovely considering what she is subjected to.

    He was doing the same last Thurs Kev.

    Hopefully he can butter up but there's no g'tees in footy especially finals which tend to go next level in pressure, speed on the ball and whatever

    DC after reading this potentially unauthorised insight of the great Uncle Bitters i am starting to have suspicions that you and the maid just might be one and the same!

    Anxiety as well. Is he cut out for performing when it is demanded of him?

    We will find out about his strength of mind.

    • 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.
