    As great as Kozzie is as a forward he's best in the middle.

    Who is Swallow?

    The one called Sparrow - who thinks he’s a Swallow because of Xerri: hope he gets 5 weeks too!

    I thought he was alright although 2 shots, and I cant believe I am saying this, should have been around the corner.

    @joeboy , where’s yours for Carlton?

    I think Goodwin's main issue this year is getting his side mentally up for the games against the mediocre sides residing in that 11th - 15th range.

    Every time we had a big win or a very meritorious loss to a good side, we've absolutely come out flat as a pancake and totally S T bed against mediocrity.

    1) Excellent performance against GWS in round 1 - worst loss in years to North in round 2

    2) Followed up our best 2 weeks in a very long time (Brisbane and Sydney wins) only to concede 6 quick first quarter goals to St Kilda and play catch up all day.

    3) Put in our fourth best performance of the year on Kings Birthday to then lose a very winnable game to the mediocre Port Adelaide in round 14.

    4) After beating North, the fixture provided us with a very kind 3 weeks of winning football, only to back it up with a pathetic 3 goal first half against a VFL team in Carlton.

    We also got schooled by an extremely average Essendon football club in Gather Round after showing some positive signs against Geelong in round 4.

    Goodwin hasn't arrested this trend and it's been mighty disappointing.

    It sounds like he's safe for next year, but if the decision was hanging in the balance, the Carlton loss should've been one too many. How we lost to a team missing 10 players (and it showed in the VFL game as we thrashed Carlton's seconds who barely had a listed player) is completely unacceptable from the coach and the playing group.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
