Definitely missed him this season. Will be a gun.

    Plays so tall for a bloke who is shorter than Trengove.

    Long long arms and very courageous.

    One of those really handy pieces to a side, like a Max Rooke.

    I don't like the Max Rooke analogy...

    Anyway, missed Ricky big time this season - proved he was a player on the up with his first 6 games of the season before injury struck.

    Takes a great mark and is a much improved kick of the ball!

    Gold Coast will be ruing they're loss at recruiting him - well done Dees!!

    Petterd shined when our forward line was in shambles this year....needs to have good on field chemistry with Jurrah, Green, Wonna, Watts & co....

    Will be great to have him back for 2011. Was a revelation in the first few games this year, one of the more exciting talents at the MFC

    I should add that the beauty is he goes under the radar at opposition teams - it works to our advantage.

    I think you'll find that we have one of the best conversion rates of I50s to scores in the comp.

    Mahoney has done a very good job with a young and undersized forward line.

    The silence of the Ricky doubters is deafening...

    Yet again...

    I don't doubt his ability but have real doubts about his body.Seems very injury prone and if, indeed, can get this right will be a sensational player for us.

    undersized and inexperienced...plus they were often starved of chances.

    where did we rank for inside 50 in the comp?

    Just love Ricky's courage, strength and recent goal kicking prowess. Seems to have found his niche in the forward half, and was sorely missed after round 6. Will add another dimension to our forward set-up in 2011, and be an important factor in the potential match-up dilemma that will confront opposition coaches.

    He is a real enigma to me.

    Doesn't in any way look a marking forward, but has done the job magnificently when available.

    I guess a question is where does he fit in if all of Jurrah, Watts, Dunn, Green, Davey, Wona are fit and in form, and even Bate were to apply himself and realise his potential.

    Would be a nice dilema for selectors.

    Yep.

    He was fantastic early on. Probably would have kicked 40-odd goals this year.

    His set-shot kicking really surprised me. It seemed so natural and was very reliable.

    Who could forget his game against the Pies.

    Last yet again, I'm fairly sure.

    Mahoney's done a fair job so far.

    Yeah...nah.

    His kicking for goal is still wonky & unreliable.

    He was good, but seriously.

    Rose-tinted memories.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • 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.
