I take it RPFC, youll be presenting the results to the National Census?

Maybe.

A lot of you don't think he can/will take Rivers' spot in the side.

It's not groundbreaking news but I think that a lot of you are right.

    THEORETICAL LINE UP

    B: Warnock Garland Frawley

    HB: Grimes Rivers Morton

    C: Green Moloney Davey

    HF: Sylvia Bate Bruce

    F: Jurrah Watts Wonaeamirri

    R: Jamar McDonald Scully

    Int: Johnson Trengove Blease Martin

    Jones, Bennell, Bell, Cheney, Jetta, Maric, Pettard, Strauss, Miller, JOEL McDONALD

    OK, now from what I can see we've got our fair share of half-back flankers, not all of which are currently at the same level as JM, however enough that are, and enough young blood to suggest this isn't really the position we need to be gearing up for.

    The only potential weakness I see is we are 1 tall short of a future devastating forward line.

    Mitchell Thorp for mine is worth the punt with PSD 1. Another spec tall forward in the ND (i.e. Talia or Black), a ruck option in Vardy or Gaw and some Troy Taylor or Liam Patrick excitement, then I'm starting to tingle.

    Whatever happens, we're on the right path. In Barry I trust.

    as an aside...I see elsewhere mentions of a 2 year deal already done with JM and that he's started training with us already . Can anyone verify ?

    cheers

    • 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.
