    Always thought Bater would make a decent CHB.

    I heard Nathan Grima speaking on tv and he was stressing how important it is to have a settled team from week to week. I find it amazing that one club can go week in week out without any major changes to the line up and others like us who have two or three compulsory changes every week.

    It's because Neeld wants to see how a lot of our players are on game day and how they perform. Nth Melbourne have

    had the same coach for 3 or 4 years he knows what is his best team and they have been working on that the last few years.

    I'm sure next season we will see a lot less changes per week compared to this year.

    Hmm, with no Frawley you would think Sellar would have to go back. With no Martin/Fitz wonder who can play that forward/ruck role.

    I don't know that it will matter a great deal who fills the forward role as I expect that our backs will be doing the bulk of the work tomorrow, as sad as that is.

    What are we doing????

    All our good players are out,

    WATTS has the longest twisted ankle in history.

    JAMAR a seven week calf strain.

    MARTIN runs out a game then all of a sudden has an injury

    And FRAWLEY get an injury last minute.

    They are the suss ones not to mention long term injuries to CLARKE etc

    We have 17 on the injury list that is almost 40% of our list. Something stinks and i want to know what. Us members need to hear the truth.

    Chill, it's planning for next year. If someone has a concern what do we gain by putting them in under duress? Watts I agree with your frustration, is it up to 4 weeks? I would like to see him in because he will be better for the experience but I guess the coaching staff just want to may sure our key players are good to go over the Pre-season.

    Surely last throw of the dice for Bate. Make him a lead up forward, Rivers to defense (where he bloody well should be IMO).

    Why are injuries always some big conspiracy theory instead of just players hurting themselves?

    Half the injured players on our list have done serious unavoidable injuries, not stuff like hammys that have plagued Essendon

    So you reckon that all or most of our injuries are suspect and perhaps we're tanking; or is it even more sinister than that?

    Come round to my place, I've got some tin foil hats and we can sit in the "special room" and talk about it.

    I've been invited to a lunch tomorrow and if I hadn't accepted a couple of weeks ago I'd be thinking twice.

    Bring on October.

    1st and 2nd picks this year must be real gems.

    Let's see who wins gold this week in The Tank.

    GWS and GCS both have 6 outs.

    It's a real race to the bottom this year.

    Go Dees... Pathetic!

    Think Williams, Sheehan and Cook will be getting games by default soon.

    • 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.
