I searched high and low for news of the big clash between the Demons and the Blues at Goshs Paddock today at 2pm but alas, couldn't find a word in any of the Sunday papers. Melbourne is in the news however - tanks to some interesting feature articles in the Sunday Age:

Carroll vows to stay off the booze

Carroll was not among the seven players chopped from Melbourne by Friday's first list lodgement deadline, but the Demons hope to resolve the issue ahead of the next deadline of November 14.

Carroll is believed to be keen to start training with St Kilda in mid-November. The Demons are talking with his manager, Ricky Nixon, about their salary cap, Carroll's rights to be paid his contracted money and the likelihood of another club such as the Saints drafting him and taking over some of his salary.

Robertson isn't finished just yet

A FEW weeks ago, Russell Robertson featured on the television program 20 to 1. But as his face appeared on screen, three rather disturbing words were printed beneath: "Former AFL player." Robertson's phone started ringing.

loved the interview with Robbo... you can tell just how much that man bleeds red and blue... he gets criticised alot around here for the way he plays his footy, but noone loves the dees more than this bloke...

as people have said before

i think robbo is one of our most respected players from outside the club

i have never had an argument with an opposition supporter about robbo, yet i have had huge arguments about rivers, neitz, davey, schwartz, etc...and most recently garland because people still dont know who he is!
