Gee the dogs were lucky to land Darcy under father son. He's going to be great for them.

I'm more peeved they got Jamara and we missed out on Mac Andrew.

    I reckon if the state government built us our own Stadium at Casey, and then we only allowed 300 opposition supporters in we’d give that record a fair shake.

    Maybe if you moved Casey to Red Hill

    Agreed!

    blatant free. Meek blocking English from contesting the ball. You can’t just clear the space around the ball drop and not even contest it yourself

    how do they not know the basic rules?

    100% plus the main reason it was paid was cause he turned his head looking for English. Block and take eyes off ball = free kic

    [censored] if I know.

     

    "Sweepers" was never traditionally a position in cricket.  It came in with 50 over games but moreso in 20/20 to describe deep fielders who swept the leg of off side boundary.

    They now run more ( and faster) than deep mid wicket or deep cover in the traditional form!

    The great German footballer Franz Beckenbauer, nickname ‘Der Kaiser’ (translated as the emperor) is recognised as the creator of the sweeper role (also known as the 'libero').

    The sweeper is a defensive player who sits behind the defensive line, sweeping up and dealing with any balls played through the defensive line. Beckenbauer was a great distributor and was also very adept at setting attacks in motion.

    i don't like the look of the Hawks here. 

    I'm feeling dogs are going to pull away.

    (Also, calling @binman, I am not convinced the Hawk's #loading took finals into contention.)

    All the Hawks fans are up and about again after a long interval.

    I'm with you, hate the Hawks. Arrogant supporters.

    So a half - back flanker? Use that instead!

    • 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.
