    Always...

    1. Garland, Morton and Weetra have (another) game under their belt. Thought Garland fought admirably given the circumstances.

    2. Bell wasn't horribly bad.

    3. Moloney played the best I have seen him play since before his injury. Moved freely at last.

    4. We have Bate, Rivers, Bartram, Sylvia, Dunn and Whelan to come back and replace some of our pathetic senior players who don't deserve to wear red and blue

    5. No injuries!!!!

    6. It can't get much worse... please oh please tell me it can't get much worse!

    Was Newton n the forward line a positive or am i stretching it?

    You can't be serious.

    He was shocking. Pulled out of a contest in the midddle of the ground 2nd term. Put the hand brake on so hard he almost went backwards.

    He looks to be another robbo in the making.

    Morton can play, he would look a lot better in a competitive team. Paul Johnson took some good marks early. Thought Bruce and Green showed that they can still play, however Green seems to have the sulks and Bruce is easing back after knee trouble.

    Can anyone give me any positives that we can take from todays game?

    It ended.

    Bartram, Rivers and Whelan all played today and got through ok....all appeared to move freely and all played the bulk of the match...

    It gave me a reason to leave Easter lunch with my future in-laws early.

    Did Dunn play?

  • Quote
    Yes, Newton won't cut it.

    On the contrary, I thought Newton battled hard. If he were in a decent team, I think he would be kicking a few goals.

    i also got a root afterwards

    LOL

    Must have been a quick one

    Rodney Eade lost his first game coaching the swans in 1996 by 86 points and they looked like a rabble..... but they went on to make the grand final that year....

    so anything is possible.

    Did Dunn play?

    Yep...and played pretty well...kicked a few goals including an excellent snap from 45 out...Holland marked everything that came his way...his kicking lets hin down a bit, but he takes a lot of contested marks

    • 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.
