A final at the MCG against an interstate club that was unimpressive at its last start when a home final for them was on the line. Things were going reasonably well until Franklin came from nowhere, interfered with Steven May but got a free and next thing you know the momentum’s gone.

    Yes, it was a strong team if everyone was fully healthy but a few of them weren’t and others got banged up during the game while others were not at their optimum fitness. 

    If the selectors pick the right side, we can win this one.

    We have a shocking record recently against the swans, especially at the G.

    I hope this game has been circled as a must win for a while now.

    About time we turned our poor record again the Swans around, they aren’t THAT terrifying…in a weird way no Max might be a good thing as it will give the midfield a different look that they haven’t seen for a while

    • 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.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
