Daniel Cross.

Never rated him hugely; but what he has done in the 2 games that I have seen have been top class. Runs hard defensively and offensively; puts his body in harder than most.

My money is on him as early as round 2.

Not bad for a reject from another bottom dweller. Or is that an idictment on where our list is at?

    Battle between Jones and Tyson.
    Jones must be happy to actually have some competition this year.
    I really want Jones to win it, deserves to cement himself as an absolute Demon legend (if he already isn't). To stand up and be so consistently good for so long in a team so crap is truly amazing, and he is everything we want everyone else on our list to become.
    Tyson will win one or two before his time is out, but this year give it to Jonesy again.

    I think it's not quite right to call him a reject. It's not like he wasn't good enough to play in their side. It is more that they have a stack of hard ball-winning mids who are younger than him and there are only so many you can fit in the team. Think of it more as a forced retirement rather than cutting a player they didn't want. They would have preferred to keep him on in a coaching support role, but he wanted to keep playing and we got lucky.

    I actually reckon Lynden Dunn would be a smokey

    The Bulldogs will regret turfing Cross in the same we we rue the day we turfed Junior McDonald

    Cross was their heart and soul and was pushed out so kids could play more

    i bet Doggies fans arent happy

    Cross

    Dunn

    Watts had a great first game and an average second game, still too early to tell, but i think he will make the top five or six by end of year.

    Jon "Agro the puppet" Ralph puts Daniel Cross (HUN) in the top 3 free trades at the moment. I reckon Cross has been the best as we speak. Dal Santo is a receiver who has been up-and-down; while Chapman has been a good finisher. Thomas, Sylvia, and Franklin will get better, but Cross has been unbelievable.

    Definite strong chance for B&F, right up with Jones. That's my boxed quinella.

    If Chip plays as well for the rest of the season as he did on the weekend, surely he would be in with a chance. But my prediction is for N.Jones to go back to back to back.

    If Chip plays like that for the rest of the year he'll kick 30 and we'll make the 8!

    • 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.
