The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - 2011 Season Wrap Edition

It's premature to call 2011 because it was never only about on field results:

- the coaching appointment

- the associated FD appointments

- the Scully decision

- the trade and draft

- the financial outcome

- the sponsorship outcome

They need to all play out before I can consider 2011 results.

For example if we have Malthouse or Lyon coaching us and they attract high quality FD, Scully stays or we convert the compensation well, we trade vigorously to fill holes, we register a profit in a year when we had a non-commercial fixture and disappointing on-field results and we continue to increase our sponsorship - then 2011 will have plenty of good from my point of view.

Richnmond fans think they've had a great season, North fans belt on about their great culture, I think we know where we're at and where we need to get to.

    more kilos?? how many more preseasons will we be saying that, he still hasn't got any heavier!!!!

    I'd say that's ignorance.

    He hasn't put on a lot of weight, but he has still put some on. He also shows more definition.

    Couple that with the fact the last couple of preseasons he has actually lost vast amounts of weight due to surgery and illness.

    What the kid needs is an injury free preseason.

    • 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.
