    News of the year!

    With GWS having 2 years at uncontracted players that means everyone whose contract expires prior to and including the end of 2012 is available - that's EVERYONE on our list except Davey and now Frawley.

    It would be a major achievement to not lose a player in this process, but some are more important than others and Chip is in my highest group.

    Sorry? TWO years at uncontracted players??!

    Where did you hear this? That's not correct...

    Ive also heard they get 2011 and 2012, if anyone knows for sure could they confirm or deny.

    They get to choose ONE uncontracted player from 2 years. Not one from each. Basically it just means you have to sign your better players over the period of time the 2 new clubs will have the chance to recruit them. GC this year (I believe they only get the one year) and GWS the two years following that. Meaning Frawley's out of the woods.

    Gee you wouldn't want to be a footy manager/list manager would you?

    ^That is my understanding.

    I liked the part at the end when Frawley was talking about other young guys signing up. Hope thats in the mind of all of them.

    Yeah I think this is right. But Jon Ralph's article in the HUN today brings about some confusion I think:

    But the 21-year-old's contract takes him out of the three-year window which allows Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney to sign uncontracted players.

    I think Dappa's summation adds up to that "3 year window"

    1 (GC) + 2 (GWS) = 3.

    The fire hasn't started......it's well and truly burining now!

    This week is full of great news, our best young defender has signed a new contract to insure his services untill end of 2014 and big Wattsi is returning to the big league.

    Nah, we're just stoking it for now, letting it grow and develop to its own accord.

    We'll add the fuel soon enough...then we'll sit back and enjoy the fireworks !

    DB and the FD have only just started moulding. Couple more ingredients still to add.

    Just remember, there will still be a few hurdles and steep learning curves to come to. But we'll enjoy seeing them tackle it.

    Can anyone explain why our best defender didn't line up on either of West Coasts most dangerous forwards(Kennedy/LaCras)at the start of the game yesterday?

    because that would of made sense.

    I don't think Frawley was actually given a match up until about half way through the third quarter after La Cras had had about his 6th shot on goal. A light bulb must have gone off in the coaches box, "[censored], we may have to get Frawley on this guy!". Unfortunatley, the horse had bolted.

    i suppose the coaching staff could throw it back to it being a development year and finding players limitations. i would of thought warnock on kennedy and chip on lecras from the start, but did you see lecras burn chip on the lead in the second half, the boys got some pace.

    And they hit him lace out on the chest every time he led.

    yeah not enough midfield pressure from us, block up their midfield and the inside forward 50 marks would have been cut in half.

    • 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.
