    Probably a bit of common sense there, I suspect I'll be parked a mile away for the AFL match, but should have no issues moving the car at half time of the Sandy game a bit closer to the ground.

    BBZ, has it been normal to load the Sandy seniors up with MFC listed players in practice matches? Just wonderng if there is any change in policy?

    looking at the players melbourne players listed in the seniors for sandringham, you'd suggest that the only players who possibly wouldn't be selected in the best 22 are cheney, mcnamara and zomer... and even on pre season form you'd think mcnamara would be up to the standard...

    and you forgot to put shane valenti in red... can't let go Bazza? :P

    3 games in one day, seeing all the clubs talent in one day.

    Reminds me of a bygone era....those were the days my friends, we thought they'd never end...

    But alas time has moved on and even now I cannot make Casey fields because the fiance has me pre-booked.

    To all those who are going have a great day.

    Looking forward to the reports.

    Rectified. A few of the ruckmen must have been standing in front of him and I didn't notice. :wub:

    I would much prefer to see the following team line up:

    Backs: McNamara Martin Whelan

    HB: Bode Rivers Holland

    C: Wheatley Bartram Cheney

    HF: T. Johnston Dunn Gilchrist

    For: Maric Zomer Jamar

    Rucks: Meesen Valenti Liddell

    Int: Warnock M. Johnston Biddlecombe Gribbin Lamb

    Paterakis Plymin Dean Monaghan Summers

    And pigs might fly.

    I don't know but I would play the fitter of the Dee boys starting the game & ease the underdone Bartram & Whelan into the game after the first Q.

    It needs to be a blend of Zebra & Dees listed players at all times.

    Too many defenders in the announced list so I think they intend for Martin to play forward tomorrow.

    Dunn seems to be getting trained up as a midfielder to increase his attack on the ball & to increase his posession rate & engine.

    I will try to have some team sheets available for MFC supporters today. They'll be free but I would ask supporters who take them to consider joining the Demonland/Demonology Sponsorship for 2008. Our 2008 player is ... Clint Bartram ... once again.

    Well you'll be happy with his first up performance. Bartram was interchanged along with Matthew Whelan and both will add greatly to the Demon defence this year. Barts could even get a run in the midfield once he gains full match finess and if required. Jared Rivers was simply superb and has so much class in defence that his presence in the Demons' lineup will make a lot of difference as will that of Paul Wheatley. Lynden Dunn showed out and Mark Jamar was strong with his ruckwork. Addam Maric worked hard and Shane Valenti was good in patches.

    And the final score?

    Sandringham 12.9.81 defeated Casey 11.11.77.

    What position did Dunn play?

    I left at 3/4 time in the Sandy game. I was over on the far side with Bartram's parents ( I didn't find this out until I was about to leave ). Apparently Bartram was on a strict 12 minutes only per quarter. Sandy were a much more formidable side when he was there, along with Rivers. At times, you could hardly see how the Scorpions were going to even score. Another that I was impressed by/intrigued with was Stefan Martin; he played the whole game in a key defensive post and did very well. He is all arms and legs, but, the number of times he got a hand or body in and broke up attacks was impressive.

    I also left at three quarter time.

    Lets not over rate Martin. He's big, athletic and was towelled by Ben McEvoy. It's why McEvoy was a top 10 pick and Martin was a PSD pick.

    I like Martin and think he's worth a punt. But he's got a long long way to go.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
