Really hope that all the keyboard heroes on this site who enjoy calling Clarry fat, lazy, unmotivated and so forth when they know absolutely stuff all, sit the [censored] down and shut the [censored] up.

Jaded where have you been, missed your input!

    Why? They've been right all along.

    I will never understand the psychology of trolls.

    When does the team get announced, it seems to get later and later. I miss the old days of Thursday night team announcements

    Fair bit of chat on this thread that the Eagle's match is danger game. I reckon the only sense in which it's a danger game is the fallout of a loss.

    This is the first time all season I've been confident of win.

    They can have as many crisis meetings as they like but that won't change the fact they are clearly not fit enough and are coming off a six-day break (after having to fly from Melbourne, after a late Sunday arvo game, and arriving back in Perth midnight Sunday night

    I think we will:

    • look to attack and be aggressive with our ball movement from the get-go

    • really look to spread them and use the width of Optus oval

    • do so by using short kicks to switch and hit up players leading at the ball carrier

    • control the tempo with short kicks until we can 'press go' and then go forward quickly

    • use the corridor more than we have been

    • use lots of long forward handballs

    • kick our highest score thus far

    • win by 64 points

    If we don't win the fall out will be vicious.

    So many things in our favour and the fact we're playing on a Sat night is an added bonus.

    I think Oliver is replaceable but prefer him playing. I wonder if Culley is seen as a possible replacement?

    Like for like in my book, but I think Laurie probably has earned the call up.

    Goodwin said before round 1 he still has work to do to get back to his best, I think this is all part of that journey, good news is it sounds like him and the club are on the same page these days.

    I hope the media and the football world can just leave Oliver alone this week, and get on with the business of the games and players involved.

    I'm sure there'll be plenty to talk about. Hopefully one of those things is 3 in a row for the Dees.

    Assuming this is a joke? It is the same time/same day every week. Which is a Thursday. At 6.30pm

    I enjoyed watching prime Clarry. Chill out Jaded.

    Happy for people to discuss replacements for Clarry while he is out but please respect his privacy regarding the mental health stuff and leave it at that.

    I find the notion that we should be lying about a mental health issue puzzling. Not sure who that helps.

    If it was a joke then I would have made it funnier, and FYI I checked after I wrote (which I should have done before), and the AFL site tells me it's actually 6:20 (so there!)

    • 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.
