Absolute friggin joke.

How in the hell does Rodan get a game over Magner. Seriously WTF is going on with this place??

rodan has the leg speed required to be helpful on the offensive and defensive spread which is where we have been really lacking of late.

he can also play as a crumbing forward which means his rotations are beneficial and will probably be involved in a swap with sylvia and tapscott to chop them out and spread the load.

but at the end of the day, a premiership player with over 150 games experience, that is why he was brought to the team, and with both captains being out that is why he is playing ahead of magner

also rodan is not a certain starter yet

    Any news of a rookie upgrade, Magner or Couch to add some muscle? As Neeld mentioned before the game we "were outmuscled" by GCS for goodness sakes at least one of these 2 will close that off.

    For the love of GOD, please upgrade Magner. He will NOT be our savior. Upgrading him will inject something into the virtually non existent midfield. He will give 100% along with ripping the ball out of the pack. And if Magner being slow is his only negative, well he is already up on a majority of the 22 to date.

    However, if he were to be upgraded, please play him when he has been playing in the VFL, no more negative roles.

    Should never be placed back on it - stupidest decision by the football department of 2013

    By christ have we missed a fearless hard-bodied inside mid. We actually had a serviceable midfield yesterday with Jones's and Magner doing the grunt work with Davey feeding off it

    • 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.
