    We lose by a point and that ends our flag chances? You give in easily not like the team you support.

    joeboy - hatchet out tonight

    jack billings - added some class

    Given the startled deer in the headlights first quarter and the persistence with dry weather tactics in the wet. The club will employ a Maasai dietitian, add blodplatter onto the luncheon menu and use hermatogen as a gameday snack. Tom McDonald can fire up the barbecue but the steaks will be strictly rare. Ben Brown will of course be excused.

    The Waverley Park irrigation technician will bought out of retirement to manage Casey Fields during future training sessions.

    I thought Howes had some good moments, despite being part of a backline that was well beaten in the first. He seems very calm under pressure

    Interesting that a lot of the players who had big games last week were flat.

    Kozzie, Langdon, Lever, Fritta, Petty and Oliver in particular.

    The number of times in the rounds so far that we have scored zero or one or two goals for the quarter Ā  Tells you we have serious attack problems ( as if we did not know) that have not been addressed.

    no finals team with a chance can afford this error we need a dedicated forward coach with ability and expertise in the forward line. This is not to denigrate existing coaches Ā but it is not good enough.

    it is wasting the talents of Gawn Viney Petrarca and Oliver not to mention Salem

    May and Lever Ā  These players were too hard to get to waste. Ā One flag is not enough itā€™s a fail !

    Stafford has had the forward line gig for a while now and has not delivered IMV

    Petracca: Play angry more

    It made me think a bit about the 2002 preseason when Daniher threw Neitz into the ruck and he played physical and angry. From that point onward he was a beast.

    Stafford shouldv have bee delisted after last year even though injuries were a mitigating circumstance.Ā 
    Thought Mini might have turned it around although our entry and some aspects are a lot better than last season. Individual training on forward skills is necessary to get that aspect up to scratch. Itā€™s also the consistency aspect of being ON and able to kick straight.Ā

    21 years old. FFS! Name another key forward his age we had access to averaging more than a goal game. Give the kid a break.

    I thought he was ok last night.Ā  Would love for Fullarton to come in so JVR can actually play a whole game up forward.Ā  From being at the game, seems to start either deep forward or on the bench, about 8 min mark goes into the ruck, does 8 odd minutes in the ruck heads off the ground then gets back on for the last 5 odd minutes each qtr as a forward.

    Never plays our deepest forward, that seems to be Fritsch, which didn't work last night

    • 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.Ā

    • 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.
