The countdown until he is poached by a WA club.

My best friends is a mate of Jesse and i am told he loves Melbourne, loves Roosy, loves his time at the club and She would be shocked if he walks anytime soon, apparently we fly him back to perth for visits quite regularly so homesickness hasn't been an issue

    probably won't happen and if it does, we will be compensatedI

    I agree it is not worth worrying about but it would have to be pretty good compensation. Here we are talking about a player who may be considering his 3rd club and has not played a game yet.

    Agreed. But at the time it was a kick in the guts when you're down. We are still down but I think I see light..........please.

    Damn, I was seven years old sitting in my brothers Ford Anglia listening to our last flag, that was fifty years ago! He was there. Please let there be light.

    Also, to be fair, Hogan is a way more exciting prospect now than Scully was at the same point, ie pre-season of his debut year.. we were excited about him but Hoges just seems a way more of a sure thing and given his poisition is less replacable than a 'dime-a-dozen' midfielder.. so i feel ya

    Before lists were announced for this game, i didn't think Geelong would play names like bartel, kelly or selwood.
    They're playing quite a strong list, practically complete except for a couple of injuries in christensen and one other was it? i think...

    Point being, i hope the boys still come out the other side of this match with confidence.

    I Live in the Geelong Region and I know its " just a Practice match ."

    But for every long suffering Demon Supporter who has to live here. :(

    I just hope the DEES can pull of a Upset

    "Practice match or not "

    It would be ever so sweet :)

    Would rather it this way. What's the point of winning against a half-strength powerhouse and gaining false confidence? That we might claim victory, or at least be highly competitive, against a full-strength Geelong would be an even greater confidence boost to our list (especially with a chunk of our best players missing).

    No one's kidding themselves though. If Geelong are there to win, they won't be rolling over.

    Glad to see you've absolutely rested on a new whipping boy since the departure of Bennell.

    I reckon we can knock off the cats and win by 3

    I would like to see the continuation of the game plan. The score is of secondary importance. This way I can still be happy if we lose.

    I think I have been following Melbourne too long. How long is too long? Four flags in my lifetime, mmm not bad really, now i'm talking to myself.

    Put in that perspective, I'm the lucky one. But consider this. I have tasted chocolate and I know what I'm missing. You can only imagine................it is better than that. Much better.

    The Footy Dept at the West Coast Eagles would probably think you are, we really can't let go of the past on this site can we

    Not during his time at Melbourne.

    Let's see what he can do at the Eagles this year.

    Let's also see what Pedo can do under Roos this year, old.

    • 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.
