    Surely the club appeals the JVR suspension. Was graded medium impact, McStay played out the game could argue it down to low impact surely?

    We can but I don’t think we will. A week for that is pretty right. It was definitely not a necessary action, and McStay had to go to the rooms for an assessment. 

    I’d give him a trophy if he did it to Cox tho. Wasn’t worth it on McStay, he’s a spud.

    Grundy is so inept as a forward, that I think bloody tomlinson would offer more playing there.

    This is a guy who played as a pure forward for Casey, looked so completely lost that they gave up at HT and played him ruck.

    He nerfs Gawn when he plays, which is an outcome we simply can't afford.

    Schache is not contested enough. So... either swing tomlinson or heck even Turner there, back in Spargo and a small forward line, just PLEASE don't play Grundy. Please.

    I hope David King is in the media this week saying how Melbourne should get 75% of the seats against Carlton because it's our home game 🤨

    Won't have to worry about Jack Martin. He's gonski

    So is Mckay ...likely

     

    McKay appears concussed so  (depending on Jesse Hogan’s mate, the Carlton doctors assessment) should miss next week.  
    Which may change out defensive set up

    Now that I think about it, the Swans player did headbutt his fist.

    Harmsey did his hammy this morning in the scratch match against Carlton reserves.

    While I don’t wish any player any injuries from us or the opposition they need to think outside the box and become inventive. Harmes while a good servant and loyal his style of football gas been surpassed.

    Watching Parker deep forward against Carlton, Trac plays deep on him.

    carlton not dealing with Sydney taking the game on or the slingshot 

    I haven’t seen enough of him, but could Disco play tall fwd roll to bring it to ground.

    The formula is so clear from these two finals:

    1. Attack from minute one, instead of when you're already multiple goals behind
    2. Kick goals instead of behinds (duh), i.e., score when you have momentum
    3. Nope just two.

    3. Have a forwardline with, wait for it, forwards

    • 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.
