    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
