FOX TAKES A SPECCY

I didn't mind the reverse order top 10 last year but this time around (with no picks there) I think it's going to suck bigtime.

Well for picks from 10 to say 6, after they're called out we would have a fair idea of who will be around for our pick 12, as the top 4-6 are pretty much set in stone. So long as they don't take an eternity to announce them like last year.

    Or you could just follow it online and see them in the correct order, as they happen.

    Fox are trying to make the event exciting and suspenseful, when by nature it's really not. Seems like ratings grubbing at its worst to me. I'm not sure what type of person would find watching the top 10 of the draft in reverse order exciting or interesting, but I'm certainly not one of them.

    At least they'll have the analyser thing.

    That was shocking last year, had no idea who was getting picked post top-10 with those horrid interviews.

    On the bright side, like last year, Melbourne will have a nice bit of time to make their next selection after that top 10 - Gysberts at 11 last year, ? at 12 this year.

    But seriously, the AFL HQ reveal their lack of substance every time they add a new gimmick. Everything is a gimmick in Demetriou-land.

    I'm not sure how Fox can really expect to gain the ratings if the presentation is of the poor standard of last year. Anyone who is really interested would be getting their information elsewhere i.e. online as you suggest or on SEN.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
