    1 run to go......i'm getting nervous

    A walk in the park Dc

    However I notice that the interest in Demonland threads has dropped quite a bit in the last couple of weeks.

    by the way what happened to Dr. Who?

    vanished!

    So some good things have happened this year.

    On a different note, Jack Fitzpatrick has been getting better each week and is now kicking a few goals each game. He is moving well and starting to really look much more confident in his game. He has also filled out considerably and with a good pre season, I believe we will have another big strong versatile player. Much like Martin he can play ruck or key forward and he has pace as well. With Gawn they look like our future big man department and not to forget we have a another huge player at full forward in Clark.

    Well that is what our draft picks and our trades will be all about, except maybe for an Under 17 pick who may be a big key forward.

    Is Cook now Gawn Redleg?

    If you cannot make the Casey firsts the future looks fairly bleak IMO

    I think we will keep him for one more year in hope, as it would be too much of an embarrassment to admit we stuffed up with pick 12 . There are enough others who have had a chance and been found wanting who will go first. If he gets another year he will have to show something or he will be gone. It has been suggested to me that we might delist and rookie him. No danger of anyone else grabbing him.

    I know there are probably other examples but it beggars belief that a no. 12 draft pick could be considered for delisting after never playing a senior game

    and finishing there second year in the reserves.

    I smell an epic failure here

    Think I have given up DC at this point the only way for me is a good final series with Casey.

    However to do that you need to be in the senior side which he is struggling to do.

    Perhaps we are playing him at the wrong end of the ground!

    Could be worse, we could be playing him in the wrong sport.

    Oh my God I had not thought of that.

    Could we get a trade from Basketball for him?

    Our favourite Melbourne supporter sinks the boot in again. OTC monday he said "I guarantee Melbourne won't win a flag by 2030". If only we had more like him. It's like having a skunk for a pet.

    I doubt it is that good Redleg

    having said that I think the chance is not before 2020

    PS For me it has gone beyond winning a flag

    With 18 teams and the two new ones getting plenty of assistance for the next 20 years it will get very difficult to make a GF let alone win one

    I doubt it will happen in my life time.

    I will be happy if the MFC can improve to the point we are a powerful team that wins 2/3 of our games.

    That will make me a happy man.

    OD-"epic fail" is a young persons phrase.

    The standards of language are truly eroding when a man of your vintage begins to use such expressions.

    Dead right Biffen

    In spite of my best efforts i have slipped into the 21st century there.

    I will try harder in the future

    • 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.
