Potentially horrible result for AMW. Absolute shame as he was looking in ripping form for R1. 
 

Fingers crossed it’s a more fortuitous result for the young man.

    Is Johnson playing?  Surely he should be the relief ruck. 

    yep has been as good as campbell in one qtr, very impressive

    AMW looks like the dreaded knee. Fingers crossed. Geez I hope we don’t become the ‘injury ridden team’ this year.

    There's a reason the NFL has banned the hip drop tackle - very annoying to see it pulled out with a couple of minutes to go in a match sim.

    Possibly an MCL? He was holding the inside of the knee.

    Yeah that’s what I thought. Which is consistent with that type of tackle where they are dragged as trying to turn.

    On the tv coverage it looked like he pointed more to the inside of his knee rather than the outside. (Which would be a good sign if it was a medial not an acl)

    Harry Sharp and Langford certainties to debut in R1 the takeaway from today

    Aidan Johnson very good in his one quarter

    Teams have been doing it for several years now. There have been several knees courtesy of this dangerous tackle.

    Would think Lindsay is a certainty too. He is all class.

    That was my suspicion, often hurts more than acl. Hoping for the best

    He was like a dumb extra. It was always Skull Murphy who applied the sleeper hold...

    ACL by the looks. A couple of big F words as he comes off. 

    What? Like 'Floccinaucinihilipilification'?

    I was hoping for a narrow win with no injuries. Still, glad to get the 4 points, and the percentage could be handy.

    Campbell rucked against Xerri and the 193cm Johnson rucked against skinny kids.

    I can't ever remember Brute Bernard wrestling one-on-one, he was always with Skull Murphy. 

    Usually against Spiros Orion and Mario Milano (before he went "bad")

    Lots to like: Sharp, Langford, Lindsay, AMW, Clarry, JVR, Sparrow, 

    Not so impressive today: Laurie, Jeffo, Chandler

    Harsh on Jefferson🤔

    I’m not able to watch but been reading this and thought we were 5 goals down. Get a grip people!

    Pessimism seems rife on the comments so far ... and very limited for the DL  folk who cannot get to the game.

    I don’t know why they didn’t go with AJ in place of Jeffo. He does provide that 2nd ruck option to chop out Gawn. I don’t know if that’s the plan with Campbell.

    Bill already has his ticket punched and Jeffo looking to be that way as well unfortunately for the both of them. 
     

    I did however think Chandler worked really hard playing in that role. Often goes unnoticed as it’s a forward defensive role.

    • 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.
