Fair call IMO.

Has not worked as a defender and that’s on the coach not him.

Absolutely correct, another player mismanaged

 

Watching them warm up, once again I am reminded of how much the Kolt looks like the great Jako.

Oh, wouldn't it be wonderful if today he chose to play like him!

I can see either Howes replaces Lever in the side or Howes, Bowey, Salem and Judd play the four "small" defender roles allowing Windsor to return to the wing. If that latter is the case, it would suggest that the "Windsor to the backline" experiment is over.

I damm well hope so with Windsor.

 

Good sub choice. Windsor was incredibly poor last week as a defender and lost Butler defensively way too easily.

Statement made.

But.. maybe the coaches need to take some flack for this because Windsor isn't a defender and should be playing the role he was drafted as and that's a outside winger. Leave him there and let him develop.

Completely agree. He is not a defender. I think he should do a straight swap with X who I think would be superb in that role, on the opposite side to McVee.


Nice to see neale up there with the sliders with a smile on his face, because during the week Bec didn't think he'd be able to be up there

Windsor as sub does not surprise me. He is my 2nd favourite current player but his move to defence has shown his defensive limitations. I hope he burns it up when he comes on. I am surprised by Kolt being selected on form, but the coaching and footy department love him and are backing him in.

 

Putting this development into Windsor will pay dividends. Sure he looks great attacking and running but if doesn’t learn to defend and position himself well, he will never be a gun winger or mid

Still pretty sick. Heading in now but may not go the distance.

At least get me a good first half of footy.


Everyone seems to be out there. Sharp call seems to be a Furphy, other than he came out with a small group in full kit early on.

Wonder if anyone was dicey to get up for the game and Sharp was nearly called up to replace them.

Interesting.

Interesting indeed. Not sure he can go with Elliot anymore.

I asked my son that same question yesterday… he didn’t have an answer.

Hows the health Tackie

Have a feeling we get up today. Expect to filth to have started their bye loading last week. It’s now our GF. Wet conditions will mean a lower scoring game which I think is in our favour.

Langford to have a big game.

On my way in to the MCG, last time I watched Dees v C'Wood live, the Dees won ... hope its an omen 😈

Just have this feeling that C'Wood's great run has to hit a pothole sometime soon ... hoping its a big MFC pothole this arvo 😁

It's sunny and clear.


Biggest test of the year coming up, we’ve had at least three years to study how Collingwood will play. No need to check the pressure ratings because oddly enough we’ll be able to tell simply by watching the game if we’ve come switched on to play. Also a big difference in laying a tackle and laying an effective tackle. I’d be interested to know what the build up to this game internally has been like.

Can’t be caught guarding grass otherwise they’ll put us to the sword very quickly.

Need to minimise the “long down the line to Gawn” as they’ll be all over this by setting up numbers around Gawn, attempting to spoil the ball then run in waves away from the contest.

Are we the only team that plays two key fwds for reasons other than kicking goals? Petty doesn’t kick a lot of goals but provides structure and ties up a key defender freeing up our other tall fwd who’s apparently is only in the side to play second ruck or my personal favourite, bring the ball to ground.

Would ideally love more delivery inside fwd 50 from Melksham who not only picks the right option but kicks to the fwds advantage.

Sadly if we don’t come out firing from the opening bounce we unlikely to fire up as the game progresses. Let’s bring relentless tackling, let’s use the corridor and let’s open up our fwd 50, better chance of converting directly in front and more options for our smalls.

Another 5 goal game from Kosi please.

Give em hell.

Not too bad thanks GWW! All of the numbers are heading in the right direction, but the chemo/immunotherapy is making me feel like [censored] and draining my energy resources. Thanks for your concern… greatly appreciated!

No too quick, Judd should have him.

  • 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.
