JVR needs to stop running under the ball. He can have a spell if he keeps that up 😩

    AJ might be suspended and Howes ain’t it IMO. Otherwise I’m happy for the same squad. I’m even OK if they give Howes another run given the injuries.

    AJ and Chandler might get suspended - if they are then it could be Laurie and… I have no idea who in, presumably not Billings or Woey 2.0

    Otherwise, no change unless May is returning

    I’d be giving Ollie Sestan a run.

    Not the worst suggestion. Howes I'm just not sure about.

    Against that, isn't Sestan still not quite up to it fitness-wise?

    Langford into the 22 if AJ gets suspended, beyond that no change

    Spoke to him during the preseason- he said he’s the fittest he’s ever been. I’d give him a game over Howes.

    Must have missed that. What did they do?

    I’m referring to Howes’ form but AJ made a pretty rough tackle in the last quarter. No concussion but drove head into ground. Can’t remember how they graded them last year but wouldn’t shock me if he got a week.

    Not sure about the dangerous tackles. I thought both times the GWS player had an arm free but maybe not. 

    Assuming no suspensions, Chandler may still be at risk. Howes was poor but who is better without McVee available?

    Out: Howes In: Billings 

    (Could be Adams, Sestan, Hore but doubt they’re ready. So Rivers back. Billings wing, Langdon mid/forward)

    Out: Langford In: Laurie 

    (no point having the kid as sub, he needs full games in the VFL).

    Disco and Spargo should both be in contention to get forward spots but it mighttake another week unless AJ is suspended

    I think the wind and the kickers are more to blame than JVR.

    Season starts in earnest next week.

    I was expecting a loss today but bitter that we lost a close one.

    North are stacked with talent but rarely put it together.

    This is simply a "must win" game

    OUT: AJ suspended, Howes too many pressure errors

    IN: Turner, Langford.

    Henderson to sub

    Chandler holds his spot, goes to sub when Kozzie returns.

    What's the go with Tickets for this game? Appears like the kids Junior tickets are valid in the membership App... But not the Adult... Assumed we'd get some sort of compensation for heading over there

    Also, where is the ground again!?! Been a while...

    • Haha 1

    I don't get the love for Sharp.

    Other then a run down tackle he was barely noticed. Jack Henderson showed more then him.

    Honestly, if his name was Jack Billings he'd be copping a pasting for that type of performance.

    I don't think we'll make any changes to be honest. I'd prefer not to see Sharp and especially Chandler who is just so meh for a small forward. He does nothing for me.

    I'd be looking at Kynan Brown for either of them.

    AJ 100% will be suspended for that dangerous tackle

    I didn’t think he drove the players head into the dirt, and it was not a sling, unlucky not to have gotten a free rather than give one away  but given the MFC luck and he is not a high profile player, and the MFC will not challenge. And they should. With a better solicitor mind,  not the recent fellow. 

    It's a must win next week. No excuses

    Turner is a very good mark & shot for goal. 

    How many chances do we give fritsch? No scores today & only a few marks.

    Fritsch won’t be dropped. Spargo must be half a chance, Kynan Brown also likely in the mix.

    • 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.
