1) how many rookie listing spots do we have?

2) with melbourne dropping paul johnson, has anyone heard if our intention is similar to what we did with newton and meeson?

3) is this new interchange rule, 100% for next afl season?

4) if paul johnson isnt dropped, in peoples opinions who will be getting the game, as ruck relief, spencer, fitzpatrick, gawn, newton or other?

sorry if i seem a bit clueless, i was just looking for a bit of clarifications on these 4 questions

    Five rookie spots, correct me if I'm wrong.

    Not sure what will happen to Johnson. Can't remember if the news that Meesen and Newton were to be rookied was made instantly after they were delisted.

    Yep, it's official.

    Spencer would be the ruck relief. If injured, Dunn, Sylvia or Newton as all three can ruck. Gawn and Fitzpatrick will develop at Casey.

    Fitzpatrick will play some senior Footy this year. I expect Callum Sinclair to slot in the forward line/ruck relief spot if we draft him. Newton is insurance but will play if he is good enough!

    Neither will play many if any games next year.Both are very much project players even if we do get Sinclair. Spencer is more likely to play more football in 2011.

    Five more rookies-we retained Newton

    Possiblility we may pick him up as a rookie- but in my opinion- very doubtful.

    100% -to my knowledge.

    Spencer will play more game time -even up forward- he kicked a great goal on the run in China..

      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.
