Make Trengove captain now!

Featured Replies

The lad couldn't wait to re-sign and his "loyalty" comments were touching. He has joined Beamer and Good-Times ( both fanatical life-long Demons )as my current emotional favourites. Memories of Robbie Flower sticking with us through the hard times unlike a couple of former players( now commentators ) who come to mind !

 

Thought JT's tweet about the $cully $aga was perfect.

"Disappointing news about Skulls today! Life goes on. On a better note though @calemorton and marts have re-signed. Bring on 2012".

Not once has he wished him luck or that he understands his decision. Perhaps JT should run social networking classes down at the bubble dome.

Just need Brad Green to come out and tweet something similar to JT. Again, it doesn't have to be a personal attack, but a statement that this MFC team are focused on massive improvement in 2012 now that all distractions are gone. Perhaps he needs to do it after the coach has been announced.

Trenner's for captain...just not 2012 (I'm happy with 2012 if he takes another step forward next year).

I tweeted back to Nathan Jones that his tweet re Scully was plain dumb. I understand that to footballers the game is a profession and to varying degrees they must consider monetary gains - for Scully it was a major motivation, for Trenners obviously a secondary motivation. But we supporters actually pay to watch. Therefore our expectations are different, we only think about team, winning and loyalty. If a player is great then he should show loyalty and stay. If we consider him a duf - sack him without a second thought.

Nathan Jones tweet ("I fully understand Skulls decision, Good luck") was dumb - 90% of his audience would be supporters and we see his defection as disloyal. Know your audience Jonesy. Text him your thoughts by all means but dont tweet something for all the supporters to read when the great majority are dirty on his actions.

  • 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.
