And he needs to get on the park soon!

Because another year like last year would not be be good for his future.

The competition is littered with players who would have been great if they were not constantly injured.

He was drafted just outside the first round when we picked him up. He'll be given a long time to prove himself.

    How long is "long" BB?

    3-4 years.

    Too long BB!

    If we have not seen something, anything by the end of 2012 it is all over for me.

    How long do you support someone who cannot get onto the the Park.

    They would want to be very very good to go beyond 3 years and even 2 years is testing my patience!

    I dont expect much on Friday night, bails is clearly using it as atraining run and to test out the depth of the squad.

    In his statement yesterday he said:

    "We can only control what we can do at Melbourne and that is playing footy and ensuring that Friday night is a really good hit-out for us."

    I presume hit out is something less than full steam ahead. I expect we will see a lot of those not in the regular 22.

    Personally I applaud this as it gives them a chance to step up, doesn't expose players who we need to be fresh for the first game and consigns the NAB cup to its rightful place as being like the old inter club practices matches.

    Anyone with some overwork needs to be rested from these games. Not surprised that Scully has knee soreness given the repoerts so far, he may need to slow it up a bit at training. More troubling in NJ's back I really hope its not a long term thing.

    It would be a real shame if he can't get his body right with us and GWS snap him up at the end of next year and he becomes a star.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      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.
