    I've been hard on Melksham but he's getting rewarded for form in the VFL.

    He'll add much more then what Spargo and Jordon have of recent.

    Has @WalkingCivilWar made the trip? Saw some Demon Army people there at the ground yesterday.

    I’ve not. Would need to have robbed a bank in order to go, and robbing banks is so 1980s.

    There aren’t many from the DA there this year but those who are will bring the noise just as loudly as we do every match.

    Happy to report the giant Harmesy graphic made it to the ground last night having spent a worryingly long time on the tarmac at whatever airport. It was flown separately due to time constraints.

    GO THE MIGHTY DEES!!!!

    Fair point. So much for the Petty experiment.

    All of about 100 people there. Surely it’s time for a rethink on this game. I’d rather sell it elsewhere if we have to

    We get the money even if no one turns up, and it's all about the money.

    A lot of the crowd are, I think bussed in from surrounding areas. I assume the weather warnings put a stop to that this year

    This is my least favourite game day of the year. All I can think is that I would be there if the game was in Melbourne, and how much I love live footy.

    We'll agree to disagree Bin

    Bowey certainly has the tank and can play this role plus damage with ball in hand forward of center

    Def agree to disagree on tank - no chance bowey had the tank or high cruising speed of nibbler - an ability that is fundamental to the role.

    They are completely different types of athletes.

    And for context, unlike nibbler  who never comes out of the side, bowey was dropped for a big chunk of last season and has played at Casey tgis year too. Whilst nibbler 

    But leaving that aside, it makes little sense to take Bowey away from his best position as a distributor of half back and make him a high half forward, a role he has never played.

    And even less sense to take nibbler away from a specialist role he has trained and played in over three seasons and made his own to such a high level he is a clear best 22 lock. 

    I mean a few years back, they  encouraged him to look at other clubs. He stayed, and has played so well in that position that the club put him in the leadership group and resigned him on a new contract.

    I can't see how today's game is possibly of any financial gain vs having the game at the MCG. There must be 2k people there. If that. The cost to get there. Accommodation. I really can't wait until we stop doing this.

    Ugh I’d forgotten how depressing it is to watch us play on TV at home.

    It could be minus 7 degrees and I’d be there. ☹️


    It's gonna be one of these types of games. Hopefully we've learnt how to play wet

    • 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.
