    At least some good news, Jack Watts says he wants to stay a Demon and has instructed his manager to start discussions with us. Hopefully he re signs soon and then we can move on to some others we want to keep.

    Some other good news would be the retirement of Byrnes and maybe Pedersen.

    How bad was Pederson? He is a good size would love to see him lay a few good knocks but he is soft as butter. I'd put Byrnes and keep him in a forward pocket (if they insist on playing him that is)

    Pedersen is not in our best 28-30 and makes poor decisions. He is also not a very hard at it footballer. IMO he is a VFL footballer.

    I would never play Byrnes again. I watched him for a lot of the game. He doesn't even try and spoil if the kick is not directly to him. He is slow. He turned it over yesterday on nearly every possession he had. Reluctantly I would play him at Casey. As one of the other club's recruiters said, " he was struggling in the VFL last year".

    If you add Gillies we have recruited a trio of guys that are clearly way below AFL standard.

    The item that beggars belief is we swapped Gysberts for Pedersen and gave him a three year deal.

    I would prefer to play any kid than this trio they are bloody useless.

    Locked to the top of the first page (like the Code of Conduct thread).

    I think we certainly deserve that.

    Just finished reading the book on Black Caviar by Gerard Whately, a very good read.

    Today I was in Chadstone shopping centre in the book shop and bought two books. One was the Master, the story of Bart Cummings, by the the greatest racing writer in the world, Les Carlyon. The second was a bit smaller and is called Life is Sport and Sport is Life, by Tami and Paul Roos. Thought it might be interesting.

    Think I can sum it up pretty easily as follows, it is a book about a mare that won all her 25 starts and is the best sprinter, give or take Vain, that we have ever seen.

    Saw film of Crowley barrelling into Boomer and sending him sprawling before the game started. Umpire right there tell Crowley to calm down and no free kick. Commentators furious as no free kick paid.

    Then I contrast that with the soft bump on Jones of the Saints, by Dunn, when Garland is about to kick out and reversal and Nick gets a free from 10 metres out.

    That is just so inconsistent. Amazing how weak sides cop that so often.

    There were four pathetic free goals given to the Saints, all controversial, yet not one to us. Funny that.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
