Round 7 2011 - A borderline report is placed against a young up and comer for the Demons.

There is outrage across the AFL community.

The incident is taken to the tribunal and the youngster is found guilty.

Melbourne, unhappy with the decision, appeal the case where it is rejected.

For a whole week the focus was taken off what was looking to be a promising build for the Melbourne Football Club. The rest of the 2011 is drilled into the horrible history of the Demons

Round 7 2014, something similar brews.

Completely different set of circumstances, but with a great deal of consistency.

Let's keep our eyes on the ball.

In some respects we should just move on accept the decision and focus all our energies on a very important game against the Dogs.

We were inspid in that North game in round 8 2011.

But with Roos at the helm, I think the club is in better hands than in 2011 regardless of the distractions.

A failure to appeal woul hurt membership numbers next year, big time

Principle first, & foremost.

Our clubs Values come first, the rest will fall into place, once what we stand for is spoken, Loud & Proudly !

Roos made his statement(s), a. by saying it will be defended vigorously b. putting his suit on and going to the tribunal....I have no worries, every player I spoke to on Tuesday was absolutely determined to back up and get a consecutive win
