This is Fox sports end of year season review, for Sydney. I found it interesting in the 'Elite' section that they listed; Kurt Tippett, Adam Goodes, Josh Kennedy, Dan Hannebery, Kieren Jack. I agree, all of these guys are elite, but, I felt they missed an obvious choice, in my eyes at least. Jared Mcveigh, probably, in the top 3 most under rated players in the league. Just look at his finals series. Along with that he has outstanding leadership qualities and is just an all around great player. Glad to see he got the nod for a back flank in the All Australian team, much deserved.

    I thought exactly the same thing when I saw it... except the part about starting a thread on it.

    I tossed the coin before the Doggies v Swans game this year.

    McVeigh gave me the worst, limp-wristed, wet-fish handshake I think i've ever been on the other end of.

    I can only assume that the journo from Fox Sports has experienced the same from Jared and hence doesn't feel he is elite.

    Ok that legitimately saves this thread!

    • 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.
