I'd be disappointed if we didn't try and get him to plug a gap for a couple of years at the right price.

At this time of year you have highlighted the rather large problem

- try and get him him

- at the right price

    How do we go from Mahoney saying " we're confident that trade will happen " to being disinterested? Money? Brisbane's demands? I can't see any reasons why we wouldn't want a guy like Merrett, so if we've lost interest something has clearly gone very wrong.

    I mean, we're taking types like Garlett and Lamumba, renowned for their off field antics. Has a better player come into the equation that we're putting our energy into?

    It just flies in the face of everything Roos said over the last half of the season. We don't seem to be doing anything despite his ruminations of drastically cleaning up this list.

    It's probably because Frost wants to come to us and one key back is all we have targeted.

    Did Mahoney say that? When?

    I don't remember that.

    I thought he said that about Lumumba.

    I don't think so. It sounds like we've been into Frost a while and probably handshook on it prior to trade period. Merrett seems like a slightly newer proposition. I'd say something else has entered the fray. Further, I think the fact we were ever interested in Merrett discounts the unlikely possibility we offered Cameron a contract.

    • 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.
