    Game day baby. Let’s go Dees. Looking forward to another win today (and also Bluey and Bingo pre game entertainment). Might need a couple of cold ones to keep me warm!

    Still drizzling constantly. Slivers of blue sky in the distance.

    Drizzle has stopped.

    Breaks in clouds now, as blue peaks through.

    We have a bad habit of only doing what we have to. Even more so when playing teams down the ladder.

    Give me a win with no injuries.
    I'm easily pleased at this time of year.

    Adelaide aren’t a bad side though so I doubt we will get it all our way

    Good interview with Yze just then on triple M.

    1) confirmed Trac will play 80/20 forward.

    2) Actually gave a bit of solid info about Clarry. They’re targeting the North game for his return. Trained well during the week.

    3) Wants to put his name in the hat for the Richmond job.

    Adelaide are a poor team who only win at home and start very slow when interstate.

    Very big game today for two reasons

    1. Ladder position

    2. Improvement in forward line (especially BBB, Chandler and Melksham. The last named is very important as we go through the next 5 odd weeks without Fritsch) I would also like to see a solid four quarters from JVR

    Adelaide will come hard at our defence through the corridor. Like many teams they play mainly a less skilled version of the Pies/Port gameplan. Our half back line is the key

     Just bumped into Max at the G. He is pumped for a big one. F69E9A17-F266-492E-9359-8FA63A940B43.thumb.jpeg.6c4b45331ef33b97fdfa40b206642a26.jpeg

    Searching for an omen, on the way to the ground I saw three ravens sitting on a fence. One looked at the others, shook its head and said, 'Nevermore.'

    Dees by 29 points.

    1) Great to hear - Trac is going beautifully in the forward line

    2) Another bit of good news, hoping it comes to fruition and he can get back up to speed in time for finals

    3) One more flag and he's a senior coach in waiting, but not until then IMO

    At the Bermagui Beach Hotel for this one.  The screens are more AFL &  racing than NRL👏🏼 Hope they don't switch em over after the GWS game...

    Looking forward to Rivers producing more and more of last week’s final quarter.

    Chaplin on Rivers, scary.

    I had a meeting with him yesterday and reviewed his tape and I was pretty honest with him, I said I think you're only at about 75-80 per cent capacity for what you're capable of.

     

    80% is still a distinction

    • 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.
