He's certainly toeing the competitive line. It's a shame that there aren't any decent synonyms for "competitive", the word is starting to grate a bit.

    This is a suggestion I made at the Youth Summit (I'm sure I'm not the only one), but I can't help but feel quite a bit is lost by the club instigating this...

    As I said on the day, Gilbert Arenas is famous for writing a blog almost as much as for being a superstar in the NBA, obviously though he wouldn't have the former without the latter.

    The thing that makes Gil's blog so interesting and entertaining is that he doesn't hold back or get censored -- it is an unadulterated insight into his personality, which he has in spades, and his everyday life & random thoughts.

    From this he's drawn a lot of publicity & attention towards his team to great effect.

    The point is: with the club having control & censorship over a player's blog on the club website, I doubt it will be even half as entertaining as it could be.

    I was envisaging a player that is a bit of clown, not too concerned about what other ppl think and who loves the sound of their own voice.

    Bate, to me, seems more of the sensible, reserved type.

    Good to see the club listening though (Jamar seemed fairly enthusiastic about the idea).

    And it'd be hard for a player to come out doing their own blog, ignoring the club's desire for censorship of anything & everything, unless you were a Judd or Ablett.

    Ugh, his girlfriend is from Perth...I hope she doesn't get wind of what Mitchell Johnson did last year at the request of his partner.

    • 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.
