    I love that Salos back in town. How many times, especially pre flag, have I seen a shambolic Melbourne - to be cured by a Salem tackle/block/turnover/sidestep and perfect delivery. 

    Statement play and recalibrates the whole team

    Might have a sneaky $50 on us at that price

    Geez, talk about going from one extreme to the other. Why are roughing up JJ & tapping him on the backside the only two choices for Viney? Just because Danny says no to roughing him up doesn’t mean he suggests the tap on the backside.

    FWIW, JJ left our Club because we weren’t in a position to afford him the opportunity that he’s now getting at Sydney. Zero animosity. He left with our collective blessing. Same goes for Toby. 

    You’re wasting your time trying to explain anything to this poster.

    It really highlights how easily people are swayed by media sentiment. The bookies would be loving it.

    Watched the Sydney game against Brisbane and Ladhams was far away the better ruckman between he and Grundy.

    Grundy ran around looking like he lacked the required match fitness.

    Hmmm that’s really interesting… particularly for my SuperCoach team 😬

    Billings, Windsor should debut 

    I’d give Clarry another week to build up after a very interrupted pre season

     

    I wouldn't, Swans midfield in disaray, keep him out and he plays???? What another Casey game?

    Nar.... UNLEASH CLARRY CHOO CHOO😁

    I have a feeling that Clarry's absence is not just form or fitness related, and as such i think he will come back when Max and the team say he can return to the ones.

    Seriously???? A four time B & F and all Aussie and you want to flirt with team oks?

    Nup if he is ready he plays! No ifs or buts

    Who gets Papley? He’s the only forward of theirs that worries me. He’ll either kick 5 or 0 

    McVee is my guess. Little Papa might run through the middle as well.

    Agree, if Paps gets off the chain he could change the whole match very quickly. Juddy or perhaps Riv?

    Is the Swans midfield in disarray?

    l certainly hope we go in with a preparedness to take them on. According to today’s AFL website story: Double Trouble. Pair’s Injuries Add to Swans Midfield Woes. Beyond the glib headlines they bat rather deep.

    Absolutely not in disarray, and as for people saying if Clarrie is physically fit he plays no ifs or but, that would be a massive mistake. The club knows what they are doing and if he’s ready they will play him. If they choose to give him another week or so it will be for the best.

    Swans midfield still has Guilden, Warner, Heeney, with Sheldrick who will step up this year and Jordan, Rowbottom to run through there. Papley may also get short stints through there. I don’t think our FD will be underestimating them

    Mate, Clarry lacking match fitness will not be the difference between winning and losing.

    Time to put aside the bromance, picket

    Clarry is more important than one game. the club will do what’s best for him

    We covered him very well last year

    If our culture is so fragile that it requires Oliver having an unofficial and hidden (from the public/supporters) first team suspension to not shatter it, we have some pretty deep issues.

    I don't have blind faith in the club, but I don't believe that we have problems of that magnitude.

    If you believe in selection integrity, there is absolutely no rational justification for Oliver not playing given he has been reintegrated into the team and has played two practice matches.

    Papley can have an all Australian small defender on him every game and he’ll still do what he does every second weeks. Loves being under fire, loves being roughed up, loves being doubted and especially loves being a focal point. Take care of the rest of the ground and Papley can’t do anything.

    • 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.
