I was at the game and he was burnt off on the lead a couple of times but was caught ball watching far too often to be playing on the best forward. Just way too loose. Should have been dragged late in the first for a rocket up the jacksie. I was sitting with a bunch of supporters from lots of different teams and everyone cringed ever time the ball came in. Barry should have kicked 5 in the first alone.

I thought Garland was always the better match up. Warnock losses his player too often playing up the ground like against Richo and the time Hall and Warnock were in a contest and then Warnock looked back to see what was behind him to give Hall the easiest of marks, he should have been at full back on O'Loughlin.

Still chances are he'll probably be one of a few to calm the great JB and/or Bradshaw. Going to a busy day down that end of the paddock me thinks.

I want Nathan Carroll back in the side.

I think he is unfairly done by and is one of our better players.

If the new-guard back line helps him I think he will be seen to have 'come good".I hope so.

He is a bread and butter backman and gets on the park far more often than Rivers.

"The 21 year-old was selected with the Club's first round selection in the 2007 Pre-Season draft"

In other words, he's a first year player.

Shouldn't you be discussing Winderlich's operation on Bomberblitz ?

It's amazing how supporters see things differently. I hope Carroll never plays for Melbourne again.

Agreed. In fact as bad as Frawley was last week, I'd rather see him out there than Carroll. I don't really see the logic in Carroll being named in the squad. And I hope we get the final team before tomorrow night's game, because if Carroll's playing, I'm loading up on Bradshaw to be the round's highest goalkicker.

I somewhat agree with you. At 27, I think he will be used by Melbourne in a serious trade for another draft pick. He is a ready made backman. Ideal for a Fremantle (W.A.).

We may get a 2nd round draft pick for him. With Garland and Warnock showing great signs down back and much younger and with Rivers, Bell. Our defence stocks are ok, with other young ones being developed.

Bails has told Predergast get me kids, kids and more kids. Youth is the way to go. Better to get something now at 27. Get another good kid into the system.

MFC wont be trading to fill holes, they will be trading for more poicks to replenish and turn over the list again, like last year.

Carroll can't get a gig in the 16th side, and he is a disruptive bogan off the field that can't help but get himself in trouble. His trade value is naught.

Whilst I don't think he has huge trade value, I still think there are teams who could use his talents.

Absolutely spot on Nasher. Particularly out West where the WA clubs are well versed in what Carroll is like and chose not to recruit him years ago.

He also has a poor reference profile amongst many of the Melbourne based AFL clubs.

His name was placed on the trade table by CAC last year and other Clubs sniggered.

If he is released by MFC at year end (I think his contract is up), he could try the PSD. But he should not have his hopes high.

But on a better front, I hope Stef Martin really makes the most of his opportunities.

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
