3 things i fell out of love with this season...

1. Channel 7's appalling coverage of the footy. Ten is only slightly better, but 7's is just ridiculous. Honestly, why would you finish your coverage without an interview or seeing the team singing the song when the entire thing is about 3 hours delayed anyway. Infuriating.

2. Sunday games. In principal I don't mind these so much as they're normally quieter days. But we have a solid crew going to the footy these days so inevitably I consume way too much beer and end up struggling out of bed for work on Monday. Fair enough this is all entirely my fault but none the less...

3. Players going backwards - Cale Morton, Matty Bate, I'm looking at you. Aren't players supposed to develop as they get older and more experienced, not regress?

    1) Umpire #22 - Cost us at least two games!

    2) Noone standing up and claiming #2 ruck

    3) Maric & Cheney only getting a sniff...

    Indeed. Especially with kids in tow and school the next day.

    My boys are 2 and 1 HT. Only have the 2 year old, occasionally the 1 year old with mum, come to Casey games at the moment to get them involved.

    My 2 year old calls every football team the Demons at the moment, which might be nice on GF day as I can use his mind altering tricks to convince myself I am watching Melbourne.

    Can't wait to take the 2 year old to the 'G next year if he is up for it, well he wont have much choice but to be up for it, but not looking forward to them falling in love with donut vans before the Dees!!

    1. The Injuries - we have got to have had the worst injury record over the last 3 years.

    2. Stefan Martin - Massive step backwards quickly approaching delisting.

    3. So many Sunday games and who the Fcuk honestly thinks Sunday twilight games are any good.

    1.Serious shoulder, hammy and other injuries

    2. Darklands stadium (I have never actually liked it)

    3. People who don't like Dunn's mo

    1. People who slam Cale Morton, for his year. Remember Adam Goodes the year he did his PCL... he was only servicable. Had a full pre-season the next year and came back a superstar. Give Cale a full pre-season and he'll become elite.

    2. Players being allowed to throw or drop the ball provided it was an attempted disposal..... the holding the ball rule is a joke.

    3. Our first quarters

    1. Foul-mouthed supporters - Didn't your mother ever tell you if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all? You are spoiling it for the rest of us (Yes - YOU)!!!

    2. Getting on the Melbourne bandwagon only when we're playing well - We expect our beloved players to be loyal servants that espouse the ideals on which this great club was built and the same should go for supporters! Fair-weather fans go elsewhere...

    3. The off-season - 5 days in and I'm not sure how I'm going to make it through the long, hard work week without the footy to look forward to on the weekend! I know our boys need some hard-earned rest (especially with all the niggling injuries) but bring on 2011 already!!! :)

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
