    Good: Fullerton around the ground, Seaston through packs, Howes sure hands and kicking, Pup’s intensity, BBB all around game, Woey’s class. 
     

    Frustrating: Billings and Laurie who are much better players than they are showing today. 
     

    Tomlinson is not as dominant (conditions? Game plan of Dons?), Hore is finding his feet again, Schache not gelling with the backline yet, young KPP - not a day for them. 
     

    mcAdam is out there, but not having an impact.

    Just a rest is my guess. Casey have way too many talls especially for a wet day

    Those who suggest he is being rested as a prelude to a debut next week - are you serious?  A week away and needs another showing of his wares.

    McAdam doesn't seem to have a ground game. Also lacks positioning sense from what I have seen

    So what does he have, other than a contract?

    If you are looking for a ruckman for next week, there isn’t one. But Fullerton is doing plenty around the ground. 

    Not all ruck-work is tapping - around the ground possessions and contests are just as important.

    Fullerton has a modest physical presence at the moment. Lacks bulk and importantly, lacks agro. Such that he’d not be a better option than who we played in ruck last night.

    How does it compare to Pettys lack of presence?

    I am streaming but no sound. Anyone with same problem.

    Based on last weeks 'commentary' reviews, is no sound that much of a problem?

    Yes but Fullarton was recruited primarily as a back up ruck to Gawn. He is a mile off it. As a ruck rover type he has been good so far today but that is a bit of an outlier. JVR and Petty are stronger in the ruck than him.

    ben brown marks everything but they transition it from his kick that fell just short with zero pressure on the ball carrier for a soda of a goal

    at this stage he'd by heading to perth next week for mine

     gah, this is why i don't rate tomlinson - he just got out-marked 1:1 by a bloke about 20cm smaller and 15kg lighter than him

    his body positioning under the high ball is routinely dreadful

    Kentfield has done nothing. After watching this game I now know why we went last night without a reserve ruckman. A poor lot by any measure.

    Perhaps if we're out of the running in a few weeks I'd like to see Laurie get a run of games.  Very consistent at this level and knows where the goals are. Replace Sparrow.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
