Bowey is a premiership winning player. Turner has taken three impressive marks, to good kicks, and one lucky handball.

    JVR is young and we will persist but he needs to take the simple marks (dropping most marks at the moment). Petty is not the answer.  Schache is not the answer. Tmcd is not the answer.  Turner was good v Tigers but likely is makeshift (he’s really a prototype Lever interceptor). Jefferson is young and not developing as we would like.  Brown is on last very last legs.  

    We are competing against teams with quality key forwards Curnow-McKay, Daniher, Cameron-Hawkins, Hogan, Mihocek.  

    I hear what you are saying Spiritons, JVR stays and I believe that Disco replaces The Joel Smith role and either Fullarton or Verrall replace the Benny Brown role. Hopefully Fullarton gets a good run at it whilst Verrall and Jefferson continue to build at Casey, plus McAdam gives us another x-factor option up forward. It will all play out over the next 6-8 weeks.!!

    it was the most impressive handball of the game and very deliberate ... watch the replay

    I watched it multiple times.

    Yeah, I kinda get that too.  It would be nice, but perhaps unrealistic to expect JvR's development to be linear, when KPPs usually take many years to mature. 

    And I am still also somewhat juries out on if Petty is a key forward.  He played a few dominant games last season, but also alot when he didn't have much of an impact.  I do suspect that he's the type of player that might take a number of weeks to find form as a forward, so let's wait and see.

    Until then, we just need these players to provide adequate output that enables our game plan for multiple other players like Fritsch, Kozzie and others like perhaps Disco and Chandler to come in and kick their bags when the opportunity arises.

    • 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.
