I'm wanting Green to resign but it would have been nice if he had of said something in the media about scully, martin and morton. he still represents the players and I haven't heard a thing. Even trengove, morton, chippa, etc...have gone to twitter to make comment...I follow green on twitter and haven't heard a thing.

Are things that bad at melbourne ?

What have the players twitters been saying?

    Disappointed, they understand, good luck, go dees in 2012.

    That is as much as they have said and as much internet space as I will give to what they have said on twitter...

    Biggest disappointment for me with scully going, was it meant GWS wouldn't be able to sign Morton as on of the 'out of contract' players. :(

    Would havebeen nice to get, say, a 3rd rounder for him.

    Ed: maybe that's why he was delaying signing; hoping he would get to Sydney?

    A 3rd rounder for such an investment?

    I don't know.

    I heard that Morton was not happy with the way Bailey played him (when he was playing).

    I would like to see what a new coach can do with Morton.

    Me too, he was a number 4 pick.

    I have the time for another year to see what develops.

    I may be howled down for this, but I think Morton could be the next Adam Goodes.

    Like Goodes though, he will take some time to develop.

    laughed so hard a little bit of wee came out, seek professional help!!!!

    Can anyone confirm if Green is contracted for next year?

    If he isn't then isnt it strange that schwab said "we've re-signed everyone we want" or words to that effect.

    I've heard on the grapevine that there may be bad blood between the two so is it possible that he will be playing elsewhere next year?

    I'm really disappointed that some still feel the need to hang it on Morton given the events of today.

    Morton was a puss before today, and is today and will be tomorrow. What events you talkin about? The disappointment gws took scully and not Morton? - I understand.

    I believe Nasher is saying that we go on about loyalty, or the lack thereof, but when one player - often derided - decides to show some loyalty we don't show our appreciation for said loyalty.

    I guess we only care about good players showing loyalty...

    As long as the royals are loyal, the serfs can get stuffed.

    I agree,

    The guy has shown nothing but loyality to the MFC and because he has had an average season we want him to bugger off.

    On that basis, Davey should tear up his contract for next year and Green should announce he is leaving the MFC to play with Greenvale because he had a bad year.

    I am happy to give him another year no.4 draft picks do not grow on trees and he is only 21.

    Yes. I thought players showing faith and loyalty to the club at exactly the same time that one of their higher profile team "mates" was giving us the bird was significant.

    Nutbean's law of not potting under 23 year olds

    Surprised to learn that Cale is only 21 and will be 22 next January

    Stef Martin - surprise surprise - is 24 - coming into his prime.

    Whilst unbelievably frustrating and has to make up ground quickly to justify his no 4 selection, Cale is 21 years old - may I direct your attention ( again ) to a 21 year old spud called Brendan Goddard.

    Good point, although the club has informed as signing soon though...

    I like Nutbean's laws, got any more in the pipe line ?

    Sage advice Nutbean. Needs to make better decisions on field.

    Lost scully, kept morton. Good job melbourne

    Terrible response.

    Don't get me wrong - I can list Cale's shortcomings in a succinct 3000 words essay. But I could have done the same with Stef Martin last year and the essay is much shorter this year as he is coming into his prime and Brendan Goddards essay from his 21st can now fit on the back of a postage stamp.

    Every good scribe tells you that you must wait for footballers to mature - then you know what you will get. Wait for body maturity and development to take its course. The common theme is 23/24 of age.

    We may look back in two years and say - Cale, what a waste. I think Cale has some really huge challenges ahead to make him worthy of a number 4 pick - but everything just may click for the lad. I'm just not prepared to toss him yet.

    23/24?

    Remind me what age Sylvia was at when he started to show something?

    Cos I recall a month ago reading hordes of posters saying he was "the one player we cannot afford to loose" (sic).

      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.
