Chris Connolly was on the TAC show today and mentioned that tomorrow's game will be the first time these four will have played with each other. This sort of crept up without much discussion but whether we win or lose it's going to be great watching this quintessential quartet develop together. What's so great about them is that each one is completely different and their strengths compliment each other, throw Grimes in as well and you have the basis of a great midfield for over a decade.

Exciting times!!

    he also talked about jack fitzpatrick and said he will be a champion of the club.

    lets hope so!!

    Yeah, heard that as well. Interesting that he highlighted a kid who is currently learning his craft for Casey 2nd's, the FD must really rate him.

    His comments about Watts was also interesting. Basically he was asked how Watts' attitude with training compared to Scully and Trengove and he replied that he is learning how to train hard. He then went on to say that it was hard to compare him to those two because their attitude is exceptional and they're pretty much already leaders around the club, they want to win a premiership and they won't except anything but the best from the other players.

    The Fitzpatrick comment was interesting.

    He was super confident making that statement.

    Would be good if it comes true.

    Big call if you ask me.

    His kicking is very suspect IMO, particularly if he is to become a forward.

    I love that they're so confident on Fitzpatrick. If he can get himself up to the right level of fitness and strength then he will be a huge asset to the club.

    Watch for somebody to think that means "Jack Watts' attitude is terrible and he has no leadership ability around the club, he doesn't want to win a premiership and is happy to accept anything from other players."

    What I'd like to see today is for Dees to show as much faith in their young players as Richmond, Freo & Essendon have and have at least 3 of these 4 on the ball at all times during the game. No chance of it happening, but I'd like to see it.

    • 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.
