Junior has just joined GWS in a role as player mentor.

    It's only a very minor role.

    He is mentoring the 3 Victorian pre-selected GWS players that are choosing to stay in Victoria for their schooling before moving to NSW next year.

    He's not an assistant coach and there is no mention of him taking on a greater role in 2012, although that may eventually be the case.

    Maybe he can talk Tom Scully into staying away from GWS after spending a year involved!!

    Tomorrow's news: RUMOUR- Sheedy offers James McDonald 15 million a year to come out of retirement and captain GWS!

    Post it on Bigfooty and read about it in the HS tomorrow.

    Good on Jnr getting the gig.

    Could not think of a better character for a new club. Congrats to JNR and I hope they take good care of him. I can see JNR moving into the asst coaching ranks in the near future.

    I'm really sick of hearing about GWS on a forum about the Demons.

    This.

    I'm glad Junior hasn't been lost to the AFL in general. Surely they'll be looking at him as a specialist tackling coach? I know I would be.

    I might be reading way to much in to this, But could there be any chance that it is a bit of a lure tactic to help secure cully? I know McDonalds role at the moment is small but GWS could see it as a chance to improve their chances of signing Scully, who im sure looked up to and respected McDonald. I was thinking it is slightly similar to the Nathan Ablett scenario at GC, but yes is quite different.

    • 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.
