Ok, I've got the wrists bandaged and starting to think constructively...

Who can we get down to the club this week and in the coming weeks to talk to, train, instruct the players and/or coaches?

From what I've heard today, my votes would be for The Ox and The Duck.

Ox was shattered today, and seems to relate to some of the senior guys and understand what they're doing right/wrong. Made some points on Jamar and Frawley that were spot on. I know he gave a speech recently, but would love to get him down to the club more regularly as someone who can inspire and create passion for the club as clearly Neeld fails on that front.

Duck gave us an old fashioned spray, but also gave us some old school ideas about how to go about the week coming. Not only does he understand about real footy toughness, but he is a guy that gets respect from his presence not from his words (unlike Neeld).

They're my thoughts on "consultants" we could get in, what do you guys think? Who else that is available would be helpful?

    I do not like the idea of exposing Carey to our younger players.

    Yeah, look I really hate him as a person, but football wise he could be valuable to us.

    I see your point. Sadly I think he cannot separate the two.

    Hmmm...

    I think Carey is a damaged brand and may not really command the respect that he thinks he has.

    He does make some outlandish comments on the wireless and has written quite a few sensationalist articles on Franklin going to GWS and the Pies

    'should've' let Cloke walk. The latter is so wrong, it's not funny as Cloke monstored North today and Franklin won't leave.

    Having said that, someone like Ling? or Lloyd? or Cam Mooney? Guys that are not long retired and still have a link with the modern game?

    stuie, what about wholesale changes and getting rid of peahearts and duds? Blokes you mentioned in another thread?

    I'm up for anything and everything! Changes, outside "coaches"... any type of alternative that may turn us around. It's desperate times.

    I agree.

    My wrists are bandaged too, and I've stopped bleeding....list changes must continue.

    The frustrating part is that a lot of those changes will be guys we brought in this year...

    • 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.
