Listened to his press conference.

I reckon he is the big smokey.

Got balls, dropped Sylvia and Jurrah.

He is all determination, dosnt give a fcuk about pretenses.

No more pre-madonna's at this club. Hit the ball hard or fcuk off.

I AM GLAD TO BE MELBOURNE AGAIN!!!!

    Great, but the selections are a little baffelling

    Jurrah - has played some shocking footy in 2011, but even when he plays badly seems to get goals.

    Sylvia - if it's an attitude thing, fine, but having a decent year stats wise + our only goal kicking mid

    Bold moves, but doesn't it move us further from winning this week? Make the statements, put players in their places, but we still have a chance to put ourselves in finals, not just a mathematical chance but one that is ours to grab. Sure the season has been a disspointment but it's about winning games - not ensuring we finish 10th

    This game is about making a statement of the type of Footy we gonna play future. A BIG statement.

    That is more Important than the 4 points this week.

    This game is about our future, our 2012, 2013, 2014, et al... sending a message to the Footy world!

    I like the decision to drop Sylvia and Jurrah - a statement had to be made. I liked his press conference. But I don't like our chances.

    I think all we can ask for is 100 percent effort and that seems to be what Todd is demanding. Good on him.

    Massive smokey, considering he's said he doesn't want to Coach (and the fact his son is coming to the Club).

    A lot of Jurrah's goals this year have been kicked in junk time.

    We seem to be assuming Jurrah's been dropped for performance reasons?

    Maybe his frame of mind following the past few days could have something to do with it. Personally, I think it's about time he had a run in the magoo's in the hope he finds some form.

    We WILL be very tough and competitive this week even though the task of winning MAY be beyond us. I just hope that people won't get on Todd's back even if we have a substantial loss.Conversely, if we did pull off an unexpected win we shouldn't hail Viney as the coach supreme. It takes more than one game to evaluate the skills of a new coach.

    I hope Brad Green is listening to Todd and not the foot steps of younger challengers to his spot

    IMO Jurrah's been badly handled this year.

    RudeBoy has hinted a few times that he needs to be "let off the leash". It's like all the X-factor has been drained out of him. And if he's been carrying a lower leg injury for several weeks, he could have had a spell long before now.

    Yes i am Suprised Jurrah is not been given the "Play Naturally" How you want to.

    Is he an emergency....(still a chance?)

    But i am behind Todd...he is closer to the mess than i.

    Silvia has been lazy IMO.

    It will be interesting where Todd plays Tapscott, Davey, Green, Bate, Dunn, Strauss & Martin/Gawn (when not rucking).

    In Todd we trust....everyone else we monitor....

    • 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.
