Who cares ?

Given your very strong views on recent and not so recent events at our club, that surprises me.

    I've gone to great lengths to explain why it doesn't bother me; i.e 12 years at the one club; Parkin sacked, re-employed, sacked, i.e. there's a use by date for all coaches; great win/loss record; recharged batteries; highly regarded at Richmond; regarded by past players as a great development coach; change of personnel in admin and footy manager can lead to the type of events he experienced in 2010, especially after 12 years ...

    Clearly you're concerned by his exit and clearly I've covered reasons why I'll give a successful premiership coach the benefit of his record.

    In essence, you either want to believe, or you don't. I want to and I have enough compelling reasons to. I think you're overly concerned by one part of his history, which can be reasonably explained. Ultimately, please yourself.

    Heard from a mate , so no it's no 100% reliable but Dusty is unhappy with his offer compared to Jack Roo. If Buddy goes north of the border Dusty will request trade to Hawks.

    Hawthorn is probably the very last club Martin should be thinking of going to, given their past - in regards to drug strikes.

    I would have thought Sydney would be a fantastic fit for someone like Dusty, although he'd look good in Red and Blue

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
