In the annual Geelong vs Melbourne clash at the taxpayer funded building site on Corio Bay, the Demon midfield led by Jack Viney, Christian Petraca and Clayton Oliver (until Selwood broke his thumb) all played strongly but the team was overrun in the final term.

    Dangerfield and Selwood were two of their best that night, if we can restrict those two we will go a long way to winning. Whats that you say their nor playing.

    Can only really remember the hand kick. The only time we've seen Clarry in any real pain.

    Yep that was the game. Cost us a lot more than 4 points.

    We trained all pre season to create a game plan to nullify the Strengths of 3 teams Swans, Pies and Cats.

    Time to complete the trifecta and send a message to those corrupt pen pushing, tax payer stadium rorting, draft rule changing, brown bag hiding suits down the highway that last year was a aberration.

    We are coming to get Feral land to take back what is rightfully ours and there ain't a thing that is going to stop us.

    Three factors that can only improve our prospects:

    1) Danger was influential and C Guthrie received 2 brownlow votes with 28 and 2 gls. Neither are playing.

    2) Our ruck duo were really poor that night. Gawn returned from injury and had no impact while Jackson was invisible with his stock standard 1 mark a game that defined his woeful 2022 season. I'd like to think our current duo will take more than 1 mark between them and have influence.

    3) We came into the corresponding game on a 5 day break coming off a win in Adelaide. We're surely much fresher with 1 game of football between 3 June and 22 June.

    However, we have a 15% success rate at GMHBA since 2000 so I'm not getting my hopes up too much.

    We had a 15% success rate everywhere since 2000, at least up to 2018. 😄

    Melbourne were awful that night and I thought it showed the quality of the team to be within 6 points midway through the 4th. If only Pickett hadn't hit the post.

    There best players that night were Duncan, Danger, Guthrie and Atkins. Duncan a shadow of that player, Danger surely doesnt play, neither does Guthrie and Atkins no longer at that level.

    All things considered, its our best chance to beat them down there that I can ever remember. 2021 was a toss of the coin and 2015 was the biggest shock win we had under Roos. Yet, its still Kardinia Park bowling alley and champion teams get up for games like this.

    • 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.
