Bruce has nothing to apologize for, I'd like to say thankyou for your service, on your game you were a Rolls Royce (damn that bump by Pickett). Further to that, sorry about some of the short memories around here, (allthough if I was a player I'd never read a club forum) I'm glad you got yourself a two year deal you deserve it.

Bump by Pickett?

I appreciate your work in Kenya, but let's stick to what we are good at, hmmm?

It was Guerra, and it was a tackle.

He may deserve a two year deal, but not from the Demons.

We are trying to win a flag.

He isn't, and never was, Flag Core under Bailey.

Does this guy barrack for the Demons or Cam Bruce?

I stand corrected, of course it was Guerra, as for everything else am quite happy to say thanks for playing for the club, wasn't passing comment on whether he was or wasn't flag core! I think the club was right to stick to it's guns BTW.

America de cali...your a goose or 12y.o. posts about whether you barrack for the club or whatever, are a Pi$$ing contest thats not required here!

Overall I'd have to say many player departures seem to end up as divorces, with most people here taking a very partisan position, and like most divorces we don't really know what was going on inside the relationship. That said I like the coach, I think he acquitted himself well.

After Roll Royce efforts over the last 7 days i think that is a good description.

Both Rolls & Cameron have flaws in their gameplan, and the MFC made the right call.

I am not saying Bailey has lost the players. But it is naïve to think that this is not a danger for all coaches. It happens all the time. (Particularly to underperforming coaches with anonymous playing records. Look at Jeff Gieschen.)

You are right on one thing though – the players are not stupid and the older ones in particular will remember playing for a coach who tanked and also how it ended for their mates White, Robertson and Bruce et al. They will not want to see this happen to them.

Since when to the likes of Scully, Trengove, Watts and co. give a toss about the last failed MFC era. These guys are playing to make their own history. How do you reckon they'd feel if the club kept a bunch of overpaid senior players on the list at the expense of playing the youth. I know what I'd do I'd have my manager look around for a club that was serious about winning. Grow up Fat Boy and smell the roses.

    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.
