    Holy crap....
    Seems very sudden as far as his tenure goes (there have been rumblings however). What has been going on behind the scenes there? Did he subscribe to the same line of thinking that Mark Neeld did? What the bloody hell is going on? I thought 2013 was the first year of their rebuild and compared to us, they were down right respectable!

    terrible timing after most of the viable replacements are essentially no longer in teh market.

    Unbelievable.

    Even more so given the comments he made this morning on radio. This. Morning.

    "St Kilda coach Scott Watters has maintained that there was "massive upside" and "a very optimistic feel" about the Saints team he was leading despite reports that the club's football department was fractured, with substantial conflict between Watters and football chief Chris Pelchen."

    "Speaking on Radio SEN on Friday, Watters said suggestions that his relationship with Pelchen was strained were "almost laughable".

    "Chris and I are absolutely perfectly aligned from a list-management point of view and that really was from day one," Watters said.

    Some players would be shitty now that trade period and free agency is finished.. Nicky Dal did the right thing.

    I feel for Watters though.. Wasn't he on SEN before saying that the president had told him he was there for the long run?

    Something not right..

    If he was going to be sacked on the same day, how could the higher ups let him on the bloody radio to talk about the club? It sounds like something we would have done during our 'red and blueprint' era.

    As a Melbourne supporter all I can say is thank you to Essendrug, Saints and Lions for making us look not so bad.

    Yep I tuned in this morning to hear what Watters had to say.. And basically only a few hours later.. this.. I am absolutely bewildered! I literally fell off my chair when I heard this...

    You would be extremely happy if you are Longer, Savage and Co that have just moved there, I wonder if Wellar still wants to go to the Saints.

    James Magner could take the job as a player/coach.

    He will definatly get a game then

    • 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.
