Demons up by 2 points after a Tmac behind from the far half forward line.

Happy with what I've seen so far. It's a hot day in the sun but the boys are working hard, look fit and hungry.

    Field kicking has been impressive. Goal kicking not so much.

    Kozzy on the siren!!! TMac provides the contest and Pickett picks up the crumbs!

    Few too many 40 out chances when you’d want them inside 30 but we’re getting decent enough shots.

    our game plan just isn’t tear it up free running footy. It’s controlled kicking and burst from congestion runner 

    But a rivers kick to Chandler that set up a scoring shot was indicative of a willingness to attack more.

    It’s really windy here. 

    Is the wind favoring one end more?

    Early thoughts

    - Hunter looks a player. Had about 8 touches (all constructive) and a goal.

    - Oliver and Petracca: Business at usual.

    - TMac imposing early.

    - Gawn started in the ruck before Grundy came on about 10 minutes in. Gawn then took the final 5 or so minutes.

    - McVee had a couple of nice moments.

    Early returns on Pickett mid and Rivers having a rotation are both promising without being spectacular.

    ANB also took a wing rotation that I assumed might be Spargo or Harmes

    Langdon haircut?

    Yep. Harder to make out on the far wing now. Got the buzz cut a few months ago. Doesn't look like he is planning on growing it back.

    Any indication that Gawn or Grundy will contribute when not rucking, or should we get used to seeing one of them on the bench all day?

    One of our better first sixths. 

    8ths


    Grundy, Pickett, Viney and Sparrow at centre bounce. ANB takes Hunters place on members wing.

    Goal to petracca. So quick.

    Edit: might be Hunter on the far wing. Hard to tell him and Langdon apart from distance with Lingers haircut.

    This chick commentating is way better than underwood 

    Jess Webster, yep.

    Seems to have just the right tone for the occasion. Pleased to be there, keeping the conversation going during slow patches without sending it off the rails, lifting the energy a bit for good passages of play but not going over the top.

    I guess the short summary is she seems like someone it'd be good to watch the football with.

    Would need to take a LOT of unidentified white powder before becoming unhinged enough to commentate a friday night game, though.

    Melbourne kick an early one in the second as Gawn crashes the pack, allowing Trac to walk into goal

    Bowey with a lovely defensive mark.

    Kozzy doing it all over the ground at the moment

    • 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.
