Surely we have money for more stars?

Well, we are a team full of kids and almost everyone over 25 is underperforming, so you'd think there would be salary cap room!

I really expect there will be some big trades and delistings at the end of this year, as well as seeing a huge turnover in general, trying to remove dead wood and sooks.

We may even return to being the youngest list in the game again.

Wouldn't mind seeing this; at least Neeld would have the players that he believes he needs to make his gameplan work. The fact that we have the wrong sort of players plays a big part in the inneffectiveness of the gameplan at the moment I would say.

    Because a tall forward is what we need LOL. i guess he can keep Mitch company in the long dark half hours they stand up there with no delivery...

    At the end of the day we cleaned out the leaders under Bailey and so a proper clean out might work wonders. Get in a few older players with hard, uncomprising attitudes and see if this turns the page.

    • 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.
