    Oliver/Brayshaw/Viney/ANB/Petracca/Gawn - Brave

    Petty & May : Damage done on way down but Brave

    Lever : Truth is a defence in a Libel suit.

    Sparrow/Rivers : work on skills

    Salem : NQR (Physically)

    Spargo /Kossie: increase involvement

    Hibberd/Melsham : Buy a watch (Their time has come)

    Jackson : not our worry it seems

    Brown : needs another forward

    I love the joeboy 3 words every week, so I won't criticise, I'll just give an alternative and completely fail at the three word part:

    Gawn - hampered, tried, taps still sucked

    Petracca - hampered, still a gun, moments of brilliance

    Oliver - tagged out of it, dug the terminator eye

    Viney - as joeboy said, had no influence

    Neal-Bullen - good first quarter, then standard nibbler

    Harmes - good overhead, but in the wrong place too often

    Brayshaw - one of the few contested winners for the night

    Petty - my man, superhero effort

    Salem - why can't he kick anymore?

    Hunt - missing too often, not a great defender, not enough drive

    Jackson - love him, but was wearing Chris Dawes gloves tonight (I also love Chris Dawes)

    Langdon - tried, honestly was decent

    May - just a gun, spent all day angry at his teammates though, wasn't the defence's fault, guy needs to chill

    Lever - 50/50 game

    Brown - yeah, that was pretty bad

    Pickett - love him, one of the few highlights for us, constantly dangerous

    Melksham - garbage

    Sparrow - just horrendous

    Fritsch - gave no pressure, reliable set-shot, unwilling to put his body on the line, disappointing overall

    Hibberd - was ok, couldn't expect miracles with the rest of the mess

    Rivers - messed up pretty much every opportunity, but he'll be better next year

    Spargo - too slow, can't kick 30m, not enough pressure, missed opportunities

    team overall - not enough pressure, too conservative, hella banged up

    coaching - what the hell is our attacking structure? We're so conservative that we're unable to score, reliant entirely on moments of brilliance from Kossy, Oliver or Petracca. Way too focused on not being scored against that we're completely unable to move it forward. Horrible to watch all year, even when we were winning. Sort it out. Lots to work on over summer.

    Don’t use tht phrase. Annoys me no end. What on earth makes winning the premiership last year any different, other.than the disappointment of diehard fans not being able to attend? Finals played in front of crowds. Full length games. I really hate this notion that last year was some sort of undeserved premiership.

    It was 1000% deserved but it plain sucks that they won a flag when we couldn’t see it. 

    And then a year later we get dished up a woeful finals series at our home.

    Yeah I agree, was using it in jest, but also to highlight the rubbish that gawn and co continually spewed earlier in the year about the drive to win it in front of the fans.

    • 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.
