    Far far to early to call.

    With another 18 games to be played we don't know who might come into good form or poor form, if anyone will suffer a Bartram like career ending injury or where we're likely to finish and what draft picks for trades we may have available. Sure Dale Thomas would be great as a free agent but the chances of landing him are about 1000 to 1.

    All I will say is that it's a big season for the likes of Watts, Davey, Taggert, Tynan, Fitzpatrick, Davis, Sellar, Rodan, Gillies and MacDonald all of whom are out of contract at the end of the year I believe? So is Gawn but I'm hoping they sign him to a new 2 year deal shortly.

    This was said re 2013, 2012 etc etc.

    Far to often pre season builds us all up, and by the end of round 1 most of us are deflated.

    Based on round 1-4:

    Sylvia for a top 20 pick

    Watts for a top 40 pick

    Assuming we get a priority pick:

    Package Sylvia pick, Watts pick, picks 1 & 2 for anyone in the top 30 here that is <28 years old, but >24: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/mikes-top-50-2013/20-11

    1. Trade players that haven't lived up to potential

    2. Use draft picks to trade for established star player

    3. ??????

    4. Profit

    I call it the "Paul McNamee Theory Of Success".

    It says a lot about us and our football club when this is a thread after 4 games. Bloody hell this is depressing being a Melbourne supporter.

    • 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.
