I heard Moloney didn't want to go either, in fact he was shattered. Wasn't he on a trip at the time he was told he was the one being traded?

What I'd give to have Bartel or Jordan Lewis as captain of this club... Says a lot, as they aren't and won't ever be captains of their own clubs, shows just how strong the leadership is at the top.

    If you think I live in a rosy world, it just shows how wrong you are & I am offended by your personal attack. I know from personal experience how trauma can affect performance. Maybe it is you who live in the rosy world if you can't understand.

    It's not my intention to offend you so apologies for that. But, this playing group has not improved one iota in 4 years. And players within that have had many, many opportunities to show leadership and resilience and rise up against adversity. We have played a lot of 'backs to the wall' type games and been hammered in nearly every one.

    I personally am sick of it. I want to see players having a go.

    Explain to me how a player like Magner can come in and be our best player two weeks running?? It's a sad indictment on the playing group. And the rhetoric of Brad Green and Moloney is worth zilch, zippo, nothing. " The players are really hurt and we know we have to put in a better performance" Really?? Ha, I have yet to see it. They have no ticker. Geez North play like that every week - they are hardly blessed with a lot more natural talent than we are. But their culture is to be admired.

    If not for Jimmy and the members who contributed money this club would have been close to folding. Is that desperate enough for you?

    Oh no let's give em a while to settle in....

    Playing group has not improved is pretty close to the mark as a whole. The days of 100 point losses should be LONG gone.

    The question I have is if we were at 'base camp' in 2010, where the hell are we now.

    Digging a dirty great hole so that those who cant or dont wanna climb the next level can stay at base and go crap in it? :wacko:

    • 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.
