I know as much about Brock's injury situation as you do RR.

On yesterdays form i would hope he would be carrying an injury, because he had no influence on the game.

If he is fit then his days could be numbered. A major concern for the club.

I understand WYL.

I share your concern. I have made some pointed comments about Brock's overall performance since 2006 and got howled for it. My view is that he has plateaud in that time where injury and I think the changing game have impacted him. I would expect in a press conference he would say he is not injured. Does not mean he is not. I hope he gets a good pre season under his belt and he lifts his performances where his body can stand the rigours of a full season of AFL.

Agree. Also he will be a better player with quicker and more talented players around him.

Thats my hope

Hope he gets it together next year. It's mind boggling how different a player he is now (limited pre-seasons taken into consideration) to when he first burst on the scene. A pale shadow of the young gun he once was.

I really hope he comes out and plays some great footy in '10, because at this rate he'll be on the scrapheap as just another NQR before you know it. Would be a massive shame because he's a talented and determined individual, but his body just won't do what his mind is telling it to at the minute.

Yes i hope you are right. I know Brock has opened his wallet for the club so his heart is definately in the right spot, but he needs help in the form of speed in the middle.

Maybe he is more like a greg williams type player-bullet like handballs fed to runners.

Time will Tell, but we must be hard on him next year-no passengers...

McLean had a decent game against Freo.

And he hasn't done any PS speed work and his season has been stop-start with niggles - he may not be injured now but he hasn't been able to build a decent base of fitness.

And anyone alluding to us 'tanking' against Carlton are delusional and arrogant.

Carlton are at least a 6 goal better team than us.

We didn't need to try to lose, we are just that awful.

Rotations were down yesterday, i don't believe we have ever been Tanking myself, but Bails was being conservative yesterday.

A times we are awful and Carlton are better team than us but we left little to chance.

By the on field structure we had at times we were certain not to do a North or Freo this week.

Lucky we were experimenting..*Cough*

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    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

    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
