    What sort of role is McVee playing down back? Can he be a small lockdown type to quell the Charlie Cameron, Stengle, Papley types? Could he replace Hibberd long term?  Hoping he’s not just another rebounder as we’re well stocked for hbfs, but have a clear list gap for small lockdown defenders since Jetta retired and Hibberd is on his last legs.

    McVee is the interesting one. Come from the clouds. Hibbo playing twos...

    that's the one that surprised me too. Hibbo has the harder body and probably should be playing round one, but youthful exuberance is a beautiful thing, and he kind of looked like what I hoped Joel Smith would be out there. definitely one to watch.

    i missed most of q2 cos of meetings, but based on what i did see of those four quarters:

    - lever won't play round 1; plugger back, Fritsch comes 

    Unless he’s badly injured Lever is best 22 and will continue to be so

    McVee was very good, as were Bowey, Rivers and Hibberd .

    Someones gonna miss out.

    Rapt with Kozzie in the midfield and Hunter really adds something.

    I'll be honest, I thought that McVee would be the least likely of the 2nd year players to debut this year. But based on that game, he'll be pushing for round 1. He was excellent 1 on 1, read the play well, and his disposal was neat and effective.

    Others to impress were Hunter, Rivers, Bowey and Chandler. If Kozzie is playing further up field, then Chandler should be a lock for round 1. Rivers should be challenging Harmes for a spot in the side. 

    The Grundy/Gawn combo went as how I thought it would. Gawn is vastly superior around the ground, and despite kicking 3 between them, neither were effective as marking forwards. Grundy's ruckwork was largely ineffectual, and was cumbersome at ground level.

    Lever loves a rolled ankle, srsly. 

    I swear he stuffs up his ankle every week and someone hobbles on…

    If it’s just a rolled ankle he’ll be fine, depends on if any ligament damage.

    He was doing run throughs on the boundary just after he did it so doubt it's really serious. The worry is not will he play round 1 but home times will he hurt it during the year. it's like his ankles are made of glass.

    I watched most of the second half, without commentary of course, which number was McVee? I think he was a the skinny kid with a shaved head.

    Any observations on JVR and Shasche.

    Watching McVee reminded me of Ricky Petterd, his movement was similar.

    Hope it’s not the dreaded syndesmosis. Lever was very good before he went off

    People splaying Lever won’t play rd1, due to a rolled ankle. Is that hyperbole and MFCSS?? 

    Nope. Club said he’s a chance to play against Richmond in the practice match next week.

    It was just a practice game so won't read to much into it but there was a problem with delivery inside the forward 50. Too many times it went to a saints player. Is there something familiar in  what I am saying.

    • 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.

      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.
