    Wow! That's pretty cool... what's that - 31 rounds? ... not including finals either... I was at that game too, I reckon it could have been a much different '07 if we had just won that first game...

    Feel free to add to the list if i missed someone. But that's an amazing change, and for those who think DB ISN'T going for a youth feel they should look at the ins.

    A good comparison

    Wow. That puts things into perspective. Talk about a youth policy.

    Bloody interesting post - much to ponder,

    Will be a mighty interesting game, especially with Ross Lyon slagging his own players.

    the best part is that we have Sylvia, Pettard and Dunn to come into the starting 22 (I have faith in Dunn).

    And Grimes and Maric are 2 top draft picks who are yet to debut.

    we have some youngsters coming in.

    At the end of the year we'll add 3 more high draft picks and we won't be in as bad a position as most ppl would like to think

    That's actually a pretty decent team. Any wonder we were tipped to do well. You look at it, and really the only weak positions on the ground are the half back line, and the back up ruckman.

    Yeah, what the hell happened to that team's potency? Obviously injuries screwed a lot of things up last year, but a lot has happened in the last 12 months to trun that team in to putty.

    • 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.
