    No surprises is a bit of a surprise...

    May and Hibberd looked tender and Chandler ??

    So much for managing the quick turnaround

    Hi DJ. As much as that concerns me my response related to the inclusion of No.19 up front. I guess their best defender goes to JVR then?

    That line up is a joke. Only a few named were in their real positions. 

    That's the whole point - Goody's having a joke with us. He does this so 'Landers go insane. Laugh along I say. He's probably watching on laughing with the way he's #%&*!#@ with our brains. It's his secret weekly indulgence.

    I was hoping that Daniel Turner would have got a run in the backline, really surprised that Hibbo got up he looked in a bit of trouble late in the game skying kicks. He is a tough customer.!!

    I recon Hibbo perpetually looks in a state of trouble. Love him.

    Lever was calling out a nickname to Schache.

    "Weasel",  I was taken a back.

    Perhaps he has weaseled his way into the team, or his bonding with deep and meaningful discussions.

    The selection mirrors the kind of week on DL.

    I resemble that remark!

    I was hoping some of the old codgers would be managed this week with the short turnaround - May and Hibberd. Similarly, I hope the mids are rotated out of the centre a little more for Kozzie, JJ and Sparrow.

    Of course we won't take Norf lightly!

    I smell some late outs.

    Just something in the air.

    Didn't Rivers have a knock as well? Maybe just cramp 

    Yeah, just cramp.  Was stretching it out for a while before he totally missed that kick and was subbed immediately after.

    They’ll look to stretch us for height, especially after the Essendon approach last week.

    typically we’d just run all over them but with the short break and injuries to some of our smalls, there is more risk in this game than I’m comfortable with.

    Maybe Fritter at centre half back is a thing.

    A few posters have expressed doubts and concerns about the game against Norf.

    I don't get it! 

    We will [censored] on Norf from a great height!

    I don’t agree. We are in very mediocre form and bottom sides come out with great intent against us while we often come out napping. 
    5 day break on top of that and this could end in tears.

    I’m not outraged. I just think it’s stupid. 

    Less stupid or more stupid than telling the opposition exactly how we're going to line up?

    Correct Jaded, I expect they will come out hard. They may well hang around until half time .... but after that ....

    I just realised it. The Deez media division ^%&*@#-!p the media release. They reversed the lines. Should have read:

    B: J Jordon, J.van Rooyen, J.McVee

    HB: J.Viney, J.Schache, M.Hibberd

    C: E.Langdon, C.Oliver, T.Sparrow

    HF: A.Brayshaw, B.Fritsch, T.Rivers

    F: J.Bowey, S.May, J.Lever

    Makes much more sense this way.

    • 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.
