Interesting article from the Herald-Sun.

I thought last years trade period was tough, this year is pivotal.

I'd like to retain Green, he's been magic this year and a fine mentor for some of the younger players I'm sure.

Brock for captain, what an inspiration!

    Not sure what is going on with the name of the article. Pretty sure the players named play for us however...

    It's in the HUN today, Gerard Healy's article entitled 'Barry Plotter'

    http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/afl/the...s/barry_plotter

    In the paper it has a team and lists of 'Possibles', 'Teasers' and 'Retired/Delisted', all based on our next premiership tilt, which according to him will be around about 2012.

    Jared Rivers is in the 'Teasers', based mainly on injury. So too are Miller and Sylvia. Bruce is in the 'delisted'. Green is on one wing. I can remember Maric, Wonna, Garland, Morton, McLean, Jones, Bartram and maybe Petterd in the team.

    The top few comments in the Healy article all seem outraged at the idea Green would be traded, and instead proffer Bruce.

    I'm pretty sure most teams would take Green over Bruce, so it's apples and oranges.

    I like Green, but I'm sure he has a high trade value, and thus we should evaluate any offers.

    the thing is you don't want to get rid of all the experience, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, we need some leaders on the ground and Green is one of those

    Yeh, they all seem to agree with this 'Kevin Hawkins' person. I wonder who he is?

    • 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.
