    You forgot to mention Spargo's ten screamers and 20 goals

    Turner also kicked 18 behinds which worried me

    All I heard was Harmes has hurt his hammy, so there’s the Brayshaw replacement gone. Jordon likely comes in now. Woe if they’re bold.

    Apparently Turner did actually play forward and played well....watch that space.

    Interesting, the swing worked out alright with TMac and Petty. Might be worth giving the kid a crack...

    It is quite sad and desperate that we are hanging  our hats on who played well in a VFL practice match in the second week of September.  How did this all go so wrong?

    If he is ready, why not? Marlion Pickett debut was a GF, went pretty good from memory.

    Just saying...

    And Moniz-Wakefield … to debut? He’s highly unlikely to get a game this week but I like his goalsense and fwd line pressure. Could replace Chin but 1-2% chance only

    He made his debut in a final in 1982 and kicked 5 goals

    AMW stayed on the park after training today and was doing some extra work with ANB and a trainer.

    Not sure it means anything and if it does think we're clutching at straws.

    • 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.

      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.
