Not cheap, but I think pints are over 14 normally 

Pints have really caught on. Even in trendy Wollongong they are all the go.

Such a wonderful standard unit of measurement where one can swear in good conscience in a court of law that "I'd only had a couple of beers".

    Looking forward to it. Train in from the SE suburbs has a fair few fans on it. Hope the crowd is strong. Go dees!

    And on top of it all, you can visualise this lovely exchange every time you order one:

    No point wasting time with pots. Pints the only way to go if you're being serious.

    An hour before the bounce and it does not matter where in the world you are, it is still an hour before the bounce.

    What I want to see this evening is the team 'on' from the first bounce. I want to see us playing the game on our terms and making sure that the Tiges are reacting and on the back foot. The on-field leaders have to do their job of keeping minds concentrating.

    Pressure, Pressure, Pressure on the ball, the ball carrier and the possible next receivers all over the ground. A team game.

    Individual performances I will be keeping an eye on:

    Viney - he has been in great form this season except for the Lions game. I want to see him respond. 

    McVee - just cause I enjoy watching him.

    Petty - had a couple of games back and there is now no excuse not to perform.

    Win for the Dees by 6/7 goals.... heart over head? we shall see.

    Expect a lift everywhere. But for a few last game, we were so flat. I don't know what happened but we looked very ordinary on our own turf. Ill pay that we played last year's runner's up but something went wrong somewhere. 

    Tonight there's no where to hide and no excuses. No fatigue .

    Our midfielders need to get back to winning the centre clearances and stop teams connecting with all Maxy's tap wins.

    Our forward line needs to get cracking. If we can't hold our marks then they need to follow up with non stop tackles and pressure. 

    Hopefully Olivers much better after his operation and Kozzie bolsters our pressure acts.

    I'll back Petts to come out firing and have a big game in the absence of Bbb.

    The focus is all on us tonight not the tigers. If we are a top four team then we need to have a comfortable win this evening.

    Enjoy the game ladies and gents. Especially those of you there. Cheers.

    Laurie the sub.

    Turner starting.

    Probably on the bench to fill Roohey's role when he takes over from Max in the middle and also when he's resting on the sidelines.

    Good luck young fella!

    • 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.
