If we were even aiming for 8th this year I'd say drop him back for a week - but we're not.

So as long as playing Cale doesn't deprive us and 'future player(s)' of deserving promotion, the early big league experience will put a lasting polish a true demon of a player.

Good post, and welcome to Demonland :P

    Cale will be a champion and has already shown some serious ability.

    One thing to note: The roof was left open during the early afternoon so the heavy falling rain could complement the damage to the ground done by the friday and saturday games.

    That said, his efficiency was extremely poor for (at least) the second week in a row. I dismayed myself by repeatedly groaning in anticipation of the assured momentum killing turn-over. When the chips are down and the team rallies, turn-overs like that are the hardest to shoulder.

    Welcome and a smart post, a rariety sometimes.

    Lets get all the games we can into this kid now while we are crap enough for him to learn, then when he is developed the team will be and he almost certainly be best 22, at this rate he is going to be one of the fastest players ever to 300.

    He looks built for umpiring. lol

    Haven't seen anyone as slight as he play for Melbourne since Cam Hunter played a couple of games late in 2003. I think he weighed 68kg when we drafted him.

    Not even Cam Bruce was as skinny as Cale when he started out, and he was skinny!

    I remember a guy by the name of Robbie Flower who was also quite skinny!

    Maybe he should've been an umpire as well?!?!?!

    Oh no, that's right..... He ended up being one of the greatest players to ever pull on a Melbourne guernsey....

    At least Cale has one thing going for him over Robbie.... He doesn't need glasses yet! :)

    • 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.
