One thing is for certain. The Melbourne team that runs out onto the Adelaide Oval on Saturday night will have a much different look to the one that went down to Port Adelaide on a rainy Friday night in May last year. 

The game was part of Heritage Round and the club came representing its indigenous name, Narrm while the home team was Yartapulti.

Of the six named defenders in that night’s team, only Christian Salem is likely to be available. Lachie Hunter and Charlie Spargo are also still injured, Grundy and Jordon (the sub) are at the Swans and one of the emergencies is suspended. On top of that, Clayton Oliver tore his hamstring that night. As they say, that’s football!

NARRM 1.2.8 3.5.23 10.7.67 11.10.76 

YARTAPUULTI 3.2.20 5.7.37 8.8.56 11.14.80

    That one was hard to swallow and the first of a few single margin losses in 23.

    • 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.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
