I couldn't go, because work has been a bit hectic and I couldn't really take a day off work but the two boys (5,3) went along.

The had a blast although the youngest cracked it when told what to do once, but that's about standard.

Most of the boys where there and all were VERY good with the kids.

Special mention to Colin Garland who had lost his voice but stil made the effort.

About 500 kids who were all frantically chasing autographs at the end.

One interesting observation though from the wife, a very monocutural bunch of kids.

All in all the kids are still buzzing (which is better than whinging and crying)

    Glad your kids had a great time!

    In regards to your quote above - does not surprise me! He was extremely vocal all game on Sunday.

    I took my 3yo demon_jacob today. It was fantastic, and the weather helped. Perfect day. Once Jacob got comfortable he had a great time. The players were great with the younger kids. Really helped them, and remembered their names.

    Special mention to Jamie Bennell. He was so patient and helped jacob, and the other kids with the handballing. Colin garland, as already mentioned was a hit. The kids loved him.

    Well done MFC!!

    Was a good day in the 4yr old group.

    Was funny to watch how tentative the players were at first to join the group of kids but most got into it.

    Its days like this that can make a young kid pick a team for life, hopefully the players understood that and enjoyed themselves.

    • 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.
