''The funny thing is,'' said Davey. ''There's going to be kids now asking parents for that Liam Jurrah haircut!''

absolute LOL

    So exciting to think of the prospect of Davey being there to play with LJ, Aussie, Bennell and the likes of Scully, Trengove, Watts, Grimes and Ferawley for the next 3-5 years and beyond once Davey is no longer playing.

    Haven't looked forward to a season like this one in... well, never. Not because I think we're a show in for finals, top 4 in 2012 and a flag in 2013. But because we have a genuinely exciting team of young players that a re a joy to watch in full flight.

    Once these guys get used to playing with each other, understand each other's games a bit better, and we start to play with some consistency (week after week, season after season), we are going to be something special.

    Davey would have been my choice for captain, obviously that is coming from an outsider. My worry with Green is that when he eventually starts to decline, it will be fast (hopefully not until 2012 at least).

    From the article:

    and rookie Kelvin Lawrence, another West Australian Davey believes could play senior football this year.

    Hope we get to see him go around next week.

    My worry with Green is that when he eventually starts to decline, it will be fast (hopefully not until 2012 at least).

    On what do you base that comment? Green is a tough hard at it player who suffers no chronic injuries and is not prone to hammy injuries etc, so I can see him going for as long as his body stands up to the rigors of the game; he could easily be leading the club for the next 4 seasons.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      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.
