    Casey game tomorrow is important. If Harmes plays well, he is in.  Laurie? Howes? 

    Howes and Turner are both competing for the 3rd tall defender if Petty goes forward and we want a Hibbo replacement. Turner more ready for that job. But would love to see Howes start to demand a go.

    We’re yet to give JJ a second full game, I don’t see Harmes or Laurie jumping him. Unless Laurie is just blistering and they want him in Spargo’s role.

    Schache a small chance if they want to keep Petty back. 

    Moniz-Wakefield? I’d love to see it

    Tigers main ruckman is out so TMac may not be essential. BBB back in his place

    Lever for Tomlinson

    Hibberd for Bowey perhaps

    Laurie for Spargo

    Not panicking yet but we need to beat Richmond

    Hard to see another poor performance like this next week.. but certainly some players need to go out. Petty back forward- created a contest late.

     

    In- Lever, Hibberd, Brown.

    Out- Spargo, McDonald and Tomlinson.

    Bowey to play Spargos role. He was putrid tonight Bowser.

    If we loose to the tigers, I'm going to be feeling worst than Neeld era

    Really??? So if we are 3-3 six games in to the season, you're going to feel worse than when we were close to a laughing stock?

    I find that difficult to believe.

    Are you trying to get him killed  Fence ?

     

    JVR with a mature body and a full year of preparation is struggling at AFL level. 

    Jeffo, for all his promise, is so spindly that his body can't even hold his head up straight

    If fit, Brown Lever and Gawn are  must ins.

    If someone tears it up at Casey he plays on  Monday week. Someone has to be punished and omitted.

    No problem making 3 or 4 changes. Clubs do it all the time.

    No pedestrians.

    Rob Flowers Dad Al was dead against him playing as a 17year old and had to be CONVINCED by Noel Mc Mahon that he should play, But his father said no for the reasons you allude to!! His dad relented and The rest was HISTORY

    I get your piont, but if, IF Merlin fires ......... PLAY HIM!!

    I'm not convinced Fence. Robbie was the best I've seen in red and blue. And he played on the wing.  Not key forward getting smashed under packs by large,  nasty defenders and ruckmen dropping back. 

     

    Don't think you're comparing apples with apples here.  Let the kid develop

    SEN suggesting Bolton may get suspended. Looks unlikely to me.

    Why would SEN wish him suspended?

    At the very least we need BBB and Lever back plus a hell of a lot of work on our brand. Dimma just given a blueprint on how to put us in a spliff by Scott if he plays talls.

    • 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.
