A bit of calm is called for...we haven't even had the first bounce yet.......Fitzy is developing nicely...I spoke to him a couple of times, one of the main aims is to get a bit more muscle and strength into him...they are happy with his footy smarts....playing him against Jamar in the Intraclub is all good stuff.....observers noted he got better the longer he was out there.....that is what you want to see....just had a bit of a miserable run with injuries....but these big guys have a lot to get injured....would like to mention Jamar's first few years at the club......watched Fitzy kick a lazy 6 in one game for Casey....he is a good kick for goal....just needs a bit more size about him.....a couple of games as backup to Jamar or Martin will do him no harm at all....not all clubs carry two top class ruckmen into a game these days....sure Neeld would like to test him out

We have other guys who can ruck, Clark, Sellar......Dunn and Sylvia at a pinch...with a third man up......unless the AFL bans that at some stage...........

    Good post Sat, but I will pick you up on one thing, and this goes for anyone who had/has this in their heads. Dunn and/or Syliva should NEVER EVER come in to calculations as far as a pinch hit ruck goes. It is embarassing to see it happen, and I can't really see Neeld allowing it. We want to be treated like a serious team, but will use a midfielder/hff start in the centre ruck? Seriously...

    I agree billy. Im still a bit shattered that Big red was ousted from the 1988 GF and we witnessed our top class Full Back in Danny Frawley go up for the 1st bounce. Hawks were rapt from the get go. Not that Im old and bitter...

    I actually agree, said 'at a pinch' and hoping like hell it won't eventuate, but a bit of left field doesn't hurt now and again....wouldn't like to see it for a few games on the trot though

    • 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.
