This was a night of pain in early July for the Melbourne Football Club which was thrashed in a must win game. It was an ominous sign for the future that came to well and truly haunt the club later that month.

    One of the worst games I have been to in recent times. Was the 1st game after Sean Wight's passing, and the players gave very little. Was an emotional time for my family (personal reasons), and then had the passing of Sean who was my favourite player growing up and beame a fairly good friend during his footy career, then to see that dismal performance.

    I sincerely hope that the players that run out on Sunday just don't embarrass themselves and the Club. Stynes' legacy is being celebrated before this game, and the greater AFL community will be hoping we can get over the line. This will hopefully be the last time we can go to that "emotional well" looking for inspiration, so after Sunday, it's going to be a very long year.

    It's sad that we are coming up against a team that is 0-3, and I'm praying that we will be at least competitive.

    Interesting 8 of that team of 22 will not be there on sunday

    and a couple of others are very doubtful.

    As hard as I try I cannot see the result being much different

    • 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.
