when is our luck going to change? i mean i don't expect us to play finals this year, all i want is steady improvement from the young guys. but so many of them have missed large chunks of development time. Blease will miss the better part of 2 years, garland missed a year, aussie missed a year, tapscott, jurruh and gawn all missed 6 months, petterd is out, morton missed half a year. there are probably more that i can't think of...

just disappointing, the amount of development that these guys could have had in them...

oh yea and strauss missed half of last year with a shoulder.

how much different would our forward line look this weekend with a fit jurruh and petterd down there...

    It's a double edged sword, Not having injuries might help climb the ladder, but then there is less opportunities for other to gain that valued experience.

    also higher up the ladder means less opportunity to get those Trengoves & those Scullies, the Mortons & the Gys, & other GysMo's.

    Unfortunately that's the name of the game and why its all about depth. Talk to any cats fan and you can see how gittery they are becoming and what about the saints with the loss of Riewoldt, McGuire (totally) the Hawks last year, the Bombers and Gumbleton. Only just getting out there. What concerns me is that the FD has not stock piled enough taller forwards for depth. You can't expect to win with a lucky season. You must rely on depth

    • 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.
