Bad news. Crossy has been enormous for us this year.

Hope this doesn't put retirement on his mind. Would love him to continue next season!

    we might not need to worry to much this week, Griffen and Cooney both likely to miss and Gia also out, Libba and Mcrae the two who we could tag, maybe Nathan Jones gets Libba, and Vince gets Mcrae, the young fella will be all to aware of what Vince will do to the doggies if they don't keep him in check

    they will prob tag tyson again i'd say

    Libba definitely has to be watched, especially in close. He's an absolute clearance machine and without him (and Cooney and Griffin) they won't have many other threatening ball winners.

    Big blow with cross.. Probably the first time his been injured on his whole career!

    Recovery from a fractured fibula is usually straight forward. Better this than a hamstring or calf in this age group to enable him to go on next year.

    Missed a big chunk of last year and only came back for the last couple of games - thats why he was delisted

    Bugger! Terrible timing coming into such a winnable match.

    The boys better go out there and get the job done in his honor. Blease and Michie must be locks now.

    A chance for captain corageous to earn another 3 brownlow votes! You can do it Skip

    So I wonder if anyone at all thought you were referring to Grimes?

    I think this news may allow Ro Bail to step up and tag one of the Bulldogs' midfield.

    Bring in Sam Blease now to run the lines.

    yep, time to have a look at Blease, & the Toump again.

    or Nicho?

    Byrnes career over as well

    Has been for some time.

    Bring in Nicho, we need a player who can't kick...

    well, we need to see if he's improved at all, before 2014 departs us.

    Don't think he did ... He played 7 VFL games and 13 AFL games add 2 VFL byes and there's 22 week season. He said when he signed at the dees his never had many injuries so he thinks he can get atleast 2 years out of his body

    Apparently a good fella

    And ran to the right spots and tried hard, but his lack of skill and composure that was easier to hide at Geelong was too evident in bad Melbourne teams.

    I wonder if a deal will be made to pull the plug immediately, or thereabouts.

    Toump?

    Oh, dear......may as well. Casey aint much chop at the moment.

    What about Evans??

    Reckon you'll see Nicho. Has been knocking on the door and Roos likes to give players their chance when they deserve it....

    Both Blease and Nicho have been tapping on the door. And Blease knocked a bit in the VFL first half. Nicho (as far as from what I could see) didn't.

    Nicho was crap in the first half turning the ball over and over. Evans too unfortunately.

    Yeah I was thinking that, luckily they have them three out, if they weren't we could've been in trouble. At least Jordie will be back to tag one of the elite Freo mids.

    • 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.
