(And I swear I read earlier that someone thinks he is soft and not a good defender?? Madness.)

What was Leigh Matthews doing on here? Was he confused with Trav or stung by that trade? Seriously, soft????!!!!

This guy is star and will be a super star!

    Paraphrasing. And incorrectly it seems.

    I was referring to the garbage in the OP.

    It's still garbage nonetheless.

    If we both stick to what we do best, I'll only ever work in fashion and you'll only ever make an arse of yourself... and what would be the fun in that?

    If you work in fashion, how about assisting the club in making some decent Demon gear?? What they put out is crud.

    Been there, done that.

    No one can question Jack Grimes' endeavour, it is right up their with Moloney's (probably greater). 70% of the time Grimes' disposal is top shelf, producing fantastic bullet-like kicks that are a joy to watch. It's the other 30% where his disposal comes undone. At times it is deplorable and costly turnovers result, given he's usually in the backline trying to set up the play going forward. It is this 30% that makes him seem slow and he is also unaccountable at times, but then he wouldn't be a Melbourne player if he wasn't. Let's not forget that it's only his 25th game or so, improvement is inevitable at such an early stage. Hopefully with this, he will raise his quality of disposal up to 90%. His turnovers will always be highlighted, as he is the one creating the play.

    As for him becoming captain, he's still way too young. I've been a massive critic of Junior in previous seasons, but if he wants to continue on next season, he still deserves the captaincy. If not, give it to Moloney for a year or 2, then we will see how good Grimes goes.

    • 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.
