THE biggest losers from the Gold Coast's entry into the competition won't be the teams that lose uncontracted players. Rather, it will be those clubs finishing at or near the bottom in 2010 that will suffer the most outrageous misfortune.

THE struggling Melbourne Football Club has again become a sporting section of the Melbourne Cricket Club. The "again" matters.

Will we be one of these teams near or at the bottom in 2010?? Whilst I hope not, I don't think we will be one of these teams late next year.

I actually think we (along with Carlton, Hawthorn, West Coast, Essendon, Adelaide the Dogs and perhaps the Tigers) are actually in the best position of all when it comes to the draft concessions coming up.

It's teams like Geelong (aging), Fremantle (one year too late), St. Kilda, Sydney (in the worst position of all) and North Melbourne, who are really going to suffer over the next few years. Although it's easy to see Geelong staying on top for a few more years now, it's amazing how quickly things can change.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
