An absolute master class that included taps to players, taking the ball from the ruck, groundball follow up and of course 3 goals

Might watch the replay. Followed the game but was more involved in the Sydney game. He went the whole four quarters.

Rucked about 75% with relief from Schache who played down back and occasionally Verrall

Should be on the AFL site. Hit VFL link on there. Only the Tiger/Pie match is up at the moment.

    In TMac Grundy Hibberd

    Out. Melksham Smith Turner

    Cant ignore Grundy’s game today for Casey and he will have something to prove against the Filth. Smith doesn’t do enough IMO.

    Smith super sub, not full time gig.

    Absolutely no way Hibbo is coming back into the team lol

    Why’s that?

    Only change id make is obvious Melk for TMac. Bring TMac to CHF & make Smith our sub.

    Laurie had some really nice touches so I’d keep him in too.

    While Disco isn’t necessarily as good as Tommo yet when defending one on one, he’s a much better intercept marker so I’d keep him in.

    At the end of the day you really only want to make a change if you have too when you’re consistently winning & especially leading into finals.

    I am really wondering about the potential inclusion of Grundy. The filth have 2 rucks and one of them is a yank who will probably send his boot into Maxys back. Just a thaught.

    Why not?

    Must play two rucks against the Pies. 
    in: Grundy, TMac

    out: Smith (to sub), Melk(so unlucky!), Laurie

    He could against the smaller Pies forwardline. Elliot is a good match up

    They'll give the job to McVee and he'll do a fine job imo.

    I don’t mean to be rude but I’m really starting to question the intelligence of a couple of you wanting Grundy back in the team.

    We literally went over this after the Carlton game, Max becomes half the player he is when he has to split ruck duty with Brodie & because Brodie is one dimensional you end having to play him more ruck than Max for him to be effective.

    Could you have Grundy as the sub or is that the stupidest idea since dog goggles?

    No, we dont.

    Rivers, Salem and Bowey can all take care of these two front runners.

    Disco v Tommo will depend how much they think Cox and Cameron will play forward which brings the additional mature body tall in to play. If they don’t think that will be a consistent threat they probably stick with Disco. Hibbo as the third tall an outside choice if they think he has enough height to go with Mihocek at times and play smaller at others. But lack of match fitness now heavily against him.

    I don’t expect Bowey, Salem, Riv, McVee will change. Hibbo as a small, very unlikely for mine.

    T Mc almost has to play. Hopefully Fritsch is right. JVR. Pickett, Chandler, ANB.

    Do they keep Smith in with Fritsch and McDonald? Or use Tracc as the 4th tall, have Smith the sub and bring in another mid/small forward? Smith’s pace gives him the edge over Laurie for me given the danger of the Pies counter attack and the athleticism of their backs.

    Salem was non existent today & Bowey not much better, we need Hibberd imo, proven big game performer & our best lock down defender.

    • 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.
