    His knee was fine. We had been rolled over. Kid couldn't wait to leave. He played well against Ablett. Says a lot about where we are. I hate to admit it. But it is true.

    Don't ever recruit high draft picks without good teachers. End of story. I hold the board accountable for that one.

    I don't care about Scully's giant leaps forward, I just care about him falling backward on the end of Tappy's shoulder. If Scully gets off the ground unassisted when they play us I'll be ashamed of the whole team.

    He won't play. Nothing surer.

    How much more shame can you or we take? Be prepared.

    The board and CEO should have invested heavily in the FD coaches as soon as the debt demolition money started-rolling in...to wait 2 years was a terrible oversight that is exactly why we are sh!te right now.

    Bit like the 6000 year old culture trip at the end of 2010.

    Not sterile enough for him.

    No junk food for his dad.

    He can say what he wants about the reason he plays football and how much he loves his lifestyle in Sydney. The reality is that his lifestyle is better because he went from a fixed contract for a draftee to being the highest paid player in the league and he's loving life because he's got more money that he knows what to do with. While I have no problem with this, I do have a problem with his claiming it has anything to do with his team. Man up and admit that the money what motivates you dude.

    Amen! I dont care whether he has been proven right be recent events. Point is that he never bought in from the start. And as meek as the demons often are, if they dont 'play like demons' in that game ill be very dissapointed - ive already got my banner printed up for the game: 'Prove $cully Wrong!'

    Good luck to Tom - never held his leaving against him. GWS are being lauded for how they are going about it and they are a pretty competitive unit. Now can they hold onto these players.

    But when was the last time any MFC player had a head to head battle with Ablett Jnr.

    That is what we lost. All jokes and barbs aside. It hurts. And i am very disappointed in the MFC for being so ill prepared in this comp.

    Yeah Tom showed a lot of honesty and intergrity with the way he went about it. He may be a star yet but he will always be remembered as a mercenary. he could have stayed and OWNED our club. Been set up for life and be remembered as a great club man.

    Well I was not talking about how he did it, more that it was a no brainer.

    There is development required at multiple levels, lets hope it happens soon.

    I can envision this scenario. After they pump us by 40 points our players will shake hands with Tom, have a chat and a laugh and pats on the back all round.

    So true that it makes me rip my hair out LOL! I even worry that a few envy him for going and would like to do the same.

    I wish we could bring back and send out Byron Pickett for just one game - that game! For one of those beautiful 4-week banning bumps

    And probably want his autograph or add him on Facebook.

    Me too. I just can't imagine him stepping onto the 'G when we play them. Either Sheedy will hold him back for the game, or he'll give him the freedom on the day to run free and collect 40 possessions.

    I think that if he does play, he'll rip us apart.

    • 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.
