    Agree, if we need a perfect run with injuries to win, then maybe we are not worthy.

    Well, all this does is create opportunity for someone like Tom Sparrow.

    I've been hard on him of recent because I haven't felt he has taken the next step as I thought he would.

    If there was an opportunity and chance to really take the next step and show everyone what he's got then it's now. There's some big midfield minutes there for the taking and it's up to Sparrow to grab it with both hands now.

    Why didn’t we ‘manage’ our best players during that period?

    More rhetorical questions…

    Clarry has barely missed a game in 6 years. hardly needs resting. plus we lost the bombers and almost lost to GC so not sure we have the luxury of resting

    Next month will be a shambles and a window into the next few years unless Goodwin wakes the [censored] up and recruits another top mid in trade period.

    Some hysteria abroad. Pathetic.  I'm sure the team has more bottle.

    Just reported it on 9 news as well

    Feel like this will get swept under the rug during the weeks.

    This smells of when we sent Joel Smith back out with a strained groin in a nab game back in 2019 and ended up missing the year because of further damage.

    This is not the end of the world. You can't replace an Oliver, but a bit of adversity never hurt anyone. The 22 who take the field on Saturday will know they'll have to give everything they've got to cover the loss of Clarrie. They'll be switched on and crack in.

    Then we are not competing for the flag. If we cannot rest one of our galaxy of stars - then we cannot lose them to injury - and that is an excuse.

    They don’t get that from me. I expect to win this Saturday.

    Sparrow was badly missed on Friday night. He does a lot of work off the ball to help Trac and Clarry. His absence meant that Port could shut down Viney, which they said was a tactic post match, and it left us very vulnerable in the middle. 
    People underestimate his role. I’m glad he’s back this week. Just sucks that Dunstan is injured! Rubbish timing.

    All clubs lose good players. Challenge is to see if we are a good footy club or not.

    I feel for Dunstan big time.

    Clarry out with hammy, Tracc playing with proppy ankle.

    This will be a massive test of Goodwin's coaching

    I’m actually ok with this. I hated Friday night but this group needs to HTFU and grind out some wins. They’ve got it in them and I’ll remain a believer until I’m not. Go Dees.

    Port just rolled us with 5 of their 22 out

    hopefully the midfield can pull their finger out and play some solid hard running defence. Saints win how many games with 8-10 of their first 22 out.

    my main point is a 25yo gun doesn’t need resting. injuries happen

    of course we have to win on Sat. we have Harmes, Jordon etc to come in

    I’d like to see Brayshaw , Kozzie and Rivers get extended runs in the middle to help cover the loss of Clarry

    Bring in Howes or Disco, and play Rivers in the midfield. Rivers has form and confidence. Howes and Disco have good consistent form at Casey.

    Get Angus to nullify Andrew. That will go a long way to beating Freo.

    No.

    I'm not accepting the season is over one bit.

    Dangerfield missed 6 games last year and that did not stop them going on a full blown winning streak without him.

    Accept it at your own peril, cool. 

    I won't.

    • 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.
