McLardy moved to placate growing unrest among members with a letter to the Demons faithful assuring them the club was heading in the right direction.

(Reassuring to know we're heading in "the right direction" according to McLardy)

Neeld, Sept 2011:

''I simply want to coach the team that is the hardest to play against in the AFL. That means all over the ground, we're going to be the hardest to play against. That's what our aim is, as simple as that."

Schwarz:

''The last time I saw something like that was down at Geelong last year [when the Demons lost by 186 points]. Players didn't have a dip and, again on Saturday, we saw the same thing where players decided not to go the contest.''

Kennelly:

''I just can't get away from the Melbourne perspective that there was absolutely no fight whatsoever. There was no gut, no drive, no passion in your performance.

''As a footballer, you want to get respect from the AFL community. Melbourne is losing so much respect with what's happening.''

    Very damning especially those from an outsider, Kenelly, and Schwarz, neither of whom would know how to be on the arena without giving their all. Two highly respected players saying that SHOULD shame our guys into action: I emphasise should though one has to wonder with these poor pansies ( a FEW exceptions noted).

    • 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.
