The 18 team concept is a stinker for many reasons, including an unnecessarily long chase scene (the home and aways) too many finals ($$$) season-ending injuries, non-competitive teams, boring, inconsequential games and supporter apathy. A ten team competition will be the reality in future years and how the red and blue fits into this reality is difficult at this stage to imagine. The news space given the Brock McLean story suggests that rationalisation forces are moving ever closer to our club. We are being fitted up for a crime that other clubs have regularly partaken in. What better punishment for being the worst performed Victorian club than being placed under official notice by the governing body. What better way to take the heat of the tanking Giants than to run us out of the competition.

    It nearly happened before Jimmy stepped into the breach.

    It is not as far fetched as some would like to believe.

    Don't look too closely, they're behind a tree waiting to get you.

    And they're carrying white jackets with very long sleeves

    Any psychiatrists here?

    Is it paranoia only when the belief that they are out to get you is false?

    Didn't you get the memo? 31 out of 127 = winning culture. 30 out of 127 = tanking = losing culture. Ya dig?

    True Paranoia? Or merely short term negative thoughts born out of an Anxious state of mind?

    Thanks Benno, now I'm going to have to reassess what stage I'm at in the "What stage of grief are you at" thread.

    Bloody hell, all that councelling and I'm back to stage 1!

    • 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.
