Essendon and Carlton both winning would be the worst start possible to this round. Got an ominous sort of feeling about it for tomorrow.

    Ok

    Halftime quick question.

    What type of players were/ are you?

    You've just received the ball ot 25 m from goal with nobody near you for thirty m.

    Do you dribble it through or smash it into the top stand?

    I think you already know the answer Deevs

    Hit the post. Possibly with both the ball and then myself.

    In fact, yeah, my two options would be hit the post or slip during the kick and not even make the distance.

    Will be fun to see who is left by round 19 against the giants. But, hey, you never know, the Bombers have been on the cusp of a big upswing for about 13 years...

    And these low crowds against low drawing interstate teams are quite common ... Hawks, North, Demons, Bulldogs & Saints have had to sell them off to balance the books

    But low crowds at Docklands never looks 3/4 empty as do the same sized crowds at the MCG

    Bombers have got 80k-90k members with an enormous supporter base ... so 25k for them is pitiful

    Footnote: To not have a 3rd boutique-type stadium in a City with 9/10 teams is baffling. Princes Park was the ideal venue but the horse has probably bolted

    Sanders is looking a tad better so far this season. Seems to have found his legs, poise and mojo

    If a player just watches the ball go ob, how is that not insufficient intent on his part?

    Oh what a shame to see Cripps hurt himself after launching his knee between naughton's shoulders.

    Took an ump 40 meters away from the play to call that obvious incorrect disposal against the Blues

    Umpires call is a goal. Completely inconclusive on the footage but the Blues get the benefit of the doubt ....again.

    • 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.
