I'd start with these 10.

Bate (not up to it)

Bartram (poor skills, injuries)

Bennell (pea heart)

Moloney (poor attitude)

Cook (Casey 2's)

Petterd (not up to it)

MacDonald (not good enough)

Davey (past it/dummy spitter)

Davis (not up to it)

Green (ret)

Geez No Morton???? I know he's contracted for 2013 but we have to find a way to get rid of him.

    The way some demonlanders talk about our players, if true, makes them worth nothing as trades, so as a club we lose.

    On the other hand, if other clubs do take some of our players and those players succeed, then why couldn't we have made them successful as they clearly weren't as bad as we thought - we lose.

    Has this happened? WHo has left that has gone on to be a better player? Maybe Nathan Bassat but that's all I can think of.

    I wonder if Nathan Carroll would be interested in returning?

    Greens revelations are interesting but we can only really guess who or what he is having a go at. We dont know which players he is referring to, but I guess if he is saying 'using talent' well we dont have many of those to be honest - Davey, Sylvia are probably the only players considered to be standout talents.

    Davey's body language for the last few years hasnt been great. His foot is cooked and I cant see a come back to be honest. Loved watching him - especially in the Byron Pickett times - but we have to move on. But I could be wrong and he could be super keen to come back and make an impact.

    Colin Sylvia - well he has been playing quite well in the second half and you almost get the feeling the article about him 'saying his best is yet to come' is a plea more than anything else. Similarly with Dunn his form seems to come together right before contract signings. Im not suggesting that we get rid of either of these blokes but who has responded to the Neeld camp will be pretty clear at season's end.

    Add another 1 for a cricket team-Pay out Cales last year.

    No more passengers.

    Cale is gawn. That is probably the clearest statement made by Neeld via selections thus far.

    • 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.
