new coach and a lot of list cleaning has been done and that has brought expectation and rightly so. With this expectation has come some dissapointment but this is to be expected with a young team. look mat the blues over the last couple of years and where they are now.... prob top four this year. I think we will be a better side than them by a fair way. Please keep the fdaith demons we are o0n the right track.

    Thankyou for this rational and level headed post.

    Everything the team's going through now is worth years of experience, and im glad theyre experiencing outside criticism and speculation in a year when it doesnt matter THAT much (looking at St. Kilda).

    What surprises me about this year as opposed to last year is the amount of hatred aimed towards us. We were the fresh faced young go-getters in 10', this year we're the ugly teenagers in heavy black make-up

    Nice analogy.

    If you're talking about media, they're always looking for a narrative and last year it was a young team on the rise. With some bad losses to top teams this year the narrative for the media has changed - that it's to be expected is a boring sell.

    • 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.
