Petracca's game overrated, Bowey underrated. These coaches have no idea.

Really happy Sparrow found himself a couple of votes there his marking has been great this year. Hopefully he starts kicking a few more sausage rolls.

No love for Tmcd or for Viney!! They again showed renewed vitality

Both were better than Salem in my view, but I'd probably gave given them to T Mac - he's been a powerhouse down back this season. Sure his aging body catches him out occasionally and he gets beaten, but on the whole, his defensive play has been first rate and saved us numerous times. Has been a realitive saviour in the absences of May and Lever, which make his performances even more impressive IMHO. That all said, I think May's game against Richmond was also first rate. Got beaten a few times by a quality opponent in Lynch, but generally held him pretty well when it counted. Felt they got off the chain a bit more when he had to go off. His presence down there is also such an influence on the whole back 6, demanding high standards - his rip at Rivers case in point.

All of this not to say that I thought Salem played badly. To the contrary, I'm very glad that he seems to be improving his form and having more of an impact on games 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.
