Following up on a topic raised on the Big Bash thread I thought I would start a thread on the Melbourne Cricket Club here.

With the advent of the BBL the Demons are at a further disadvantage as they regularly lose players like Hodge, McDonald, Maxwell  and occasionally Keath to the various state teams and now to the extended BBL competition.

Yesterday, in a one dayer, they easily beat Richmond who were dismissed for 186 (interesting number that!) and in reply they scored 3/187 with the Michael Hill 74, Alex Keath 68no the main run scorers.

That wasn't enough to get the club into the finals of the competition's one day series (they missed out on run rate) but the 2nds, 3rds & 4ths are all in their finals.

The competition proper resumes next week and the Demons are well placed for the finals.

    Fourth placed Melbourne is in a great position against ladder leader Carlton after the first day of the current round of Premier Cricket.

    The Blues had an ordinary day against the Demons being bowled out for just 116. Melbourne quick Dan Worrall was the star with the excellent figures of 6/16 off 12.3 overs with 7 maidens. It could have been even worse for Carlton, with a 50-run last wicket stand between Nick Austin (25no) and Chris Salm (25).

    Melbourne was in command at stumps, reaching 5/223, with Rob Cooper (80) and former Gold Coast listed footballer Alex Keath (79) adding 115 for the third wicket and should press for the outright on the second day.

    Always love to thrash Carlscum at any Sport. I refuse to go near Lygon St. I know i miss good food and coffee by doing it, but standards must be adhered to, and Carlscum have none!

    Thanks for the report.

    What has happened to Glen Maxwell of late ?

    Noticed in the paper that the Demons flogged Hawthorn Monash Uni to go into second place on the Premier District Cricket ladder just behind Carlton.

    Always enjoy seeing the Dees doing well.

    ... and it's always good to read about the Demons beating the Magpies http://m.heraldsun.com.au/leader/central/camberwell-magpies-dismissed-by-plucky-demons/story-fngnvlpt-1226806729354]Camberwell Magpies dismissed by plucky Demons

    We owe them nothing.

    They owe us plenty.

    They are not worth supporting.

    I respect your nostalgia but without us they would not exist although our form of entertainment has proved far more profitable than theirs.

    i also acknowledge that without them the same is true.

    Interesting tussle between the Demons and the Cats in Premier District Cricket at the Albert Ground today with the MCC just dismissing Geelong for 266. They were chasing 7/354 (dec) and were motoring along quite nicely at tea with Aaron Finch in the 80s and the score 4/207. Finch got his ton but the wheels fell off and the Cats lost 6/33.

    Demons likely to figure strongly in the finals.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
