Terrible news.

Wonna, Jurrah, Petterd.

Every time we have a forward that shows something we lose them for a season.

    Thats really sad news. So much to like about ricky, good over head, great on the ground, has a little bit of mongrel about him and you can tell he loves to be involved in the play, sounds silly i know, but he looks like he wants to be in every contest, and that is infectious.

    Someone else can now shoulder (pun intended) the fwd line responsability.

    Shattered, another season of development wasted. Looked really promising. I like players who love a contest and ricky is one of those.

    That's our third shoulder injury this year. Jeepers.

    Maybe Bohdan's to blame.

    All the best to Ricky in his recovery though. But I don't think he'll make it back by the end of the year, so he'll be set on Round 1.

    Shattering news, he's setting himself up nicely to become one of the most dangerous forwards in the comp in the coming years.

    All the best in your recovery Ricky and please say with Melbourne at seasons end.

    I'm getting a dejavu feeling, Scott Thompson 2004 with his foot injury when he was having his breakout year, got injured and never played for Melbourne again.

    He stated a couple of weeks ago that he was going to wait until the end of the year to sign a contract.

    Will be interesting to see what he does over the next 4 months in regards to this.

    I suspect the longer he goes on without signing the likelihood of him heading north is increased.

    well a dodgy shoulder might do more for us to keep him than more for Ricky being offered a GC contract.

    Or we end up fitting the bill for him to get right only to pizz off after he is right

    Some good-ish news from his twitter:

    Not the results i was lookin 4, still a bit hard to swallow.Already lookin forward to putting on the red n blue in 2011! thanks for the msg!

    Best sign yet he wants at the dees next year

    Crap...

    On one hand, he's done enough to keep his place on the list, and his return will be anticipated greatly.

    On the other hand, if he IS on the way to GC, the compensatory pick we would have gotten after 22 rounds of him would have been a lot better than whatever they'd give us now.

    If it's the second scenario, we lose. BIG time.

    Memo to Number 15 for Melbourne FC: 'Ricky... don't lose that number'. Stay at the Dees next year.

    Gday Dedders, thanks for the kind message upon my log in. I am indeed a complete $%^^&&*. Spent way too much time orchestrating your lifetime ban on Ology.

    Good result in the end of course. Stay well!!

    Shattered to lose Ricky for 2010.

    I am really hoping he signs and we get to see him again.

    • 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.
