Interesting points by McNamee. Apart from Jono Brown who are some other uncontracted stars at years end? He gives the impression that we will have a serious crack at some uncontracted guns in the near future.

i really like that article... not so much the marquee player side of it, but it shows how mcnamee is working to improve our position...

this channel 7 thing seems interesting, unprecedented access to the changerooms before the game... i assume this will be for tomorrow's game... I'll be at the G, but I might record it at home...

    To be honest, he seems like the right CEO for the club. Landing a marquee player is interesting. Seems like he may already be in discussions with someones management to make a public call like that. I do wonder. All i hope, is that this Marquee player does not cost us 1m per year, and is not a player over 25.

    I hope we can milke out 20k fans for todays game (i know, I am dreaming), would be a good result if we could. Can't see many freo fans making the trip for this one, so the crowd needs to be a sea of red and blue.

    I believe it when I see it.

    I saw a casually attired and dishevelled McNamee early this morning , about 10 David Neitz drop punts from the courts at Kooyong where he originally made his name , and I hope he'll be wearing a suit and working on his appearance before speaking to a marquee player , 'cos it wasn't a good look .

    BTW ,I am always well attired and groomed , even in the early hours .

    Marquee player does not need to be coming out of contract. Need to want to move, and club willing to trade.

    I would suggest Jono B is not a good choice - very vulnerable to injury.

    I'd love to have Pavlich at MFC - he might just be willing given Freo's continuing lack of success.

    • 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.
