    Cam is being facetious.

    At best, he would have to be the oldest mature age rookie in the AFL. Father Ray is 66. The Groom boys are very smart. I'm sure he will be a welcome addition to the management team.

    Ray could play a bit, he left at an early age to return to Tasmania.

    From memory I think was the Premier of Tasmania at one stage.

    Yep, he was indeed. His other son Matthew is currently in politics as well - Shadow Minister for Energy, the Environment, Parks and Heritage, Climate Change, Sustainable Transport and Alternative Energy according to Wikipedia. Not a bad portfolio considering it's his first term. Worked at my work prior to that gig.

    • 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.
