Did anyone else notice the number of times yesterday Carlton was smashing us down the Southern Stand wing whilst we had 2 players running 100m to our bench for another 2 players to run another 100m to get to the play by which state, they were buggered and need to be rotated themselves?!

This whole 'keep the rotations high' interchange thing is killing me! I watched the bench all day and all I saw was confusion. Twice I saw a player run to the bench, out of play to be turned around and be sent back out!

Thoughts? Am I the only one who feels like we played 2 men short for most of yesterday?

    We were. I read with disappointment before the game that White and Jamar were selected to play but I didnt see them.

    Yes I did notice that. Very frustrating but I think it was a tactic. Often the bloke coming on would not run straight to the play but linger on the otherside of the ground waiting for the switch. Didn't work but.

    I also noticed often someone would run to the bench and they'd be nobody ready to come on!

    Agree entirely .. watched this with interest yesterday and confusion reigns .. Green off immediately after kicking a goal to actually put us in front .. Sylvia coming off with no-one ready to replace him .. players running back onto the field looking back to the bench for instructions about who they are supposed to be playing on .. ridiculous

    ....and Bell made 3 , so we only had 19 on the team sheet !

    I noticed it as well.

    In the first quarter Whelan ran faster and further to the bench than he had during the game and Bell ran fifty metres on to the ground before being turned back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
