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....

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...

Could it be that the 'doubters' have changed their minds? This happens y'know, when the information at hand changes.

There were very legitimate reasons to question his role this time last year.

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.

Yeah...nah.

His kicking for goal is still wonky & unreliable.

He was good, but seriously.

Rose-tinted memories.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
