Will the Big Russian get a farewell game?

Or when he has players who can consistently run to the areas he is tapping to before opponents do.

That would be the our defensive side of the centre bounce?

    I'm seriously hoping we can win on Sunday and watching Crossys retirement speech I'd say the boys will be too. PJ communicated the goal to win 7 games and is another reason we'll be up for this game, not to mention a win will likely have us above the Saints and we finish the season on a positive note. Will Mark improve our side on the weekend?

    NM, for example, will rove to taps of opposing ruckmen when Goldstein is being beaten.

    But they won't just do that - they will see where Jones is going and literally use his momentum to get to the spot that Jones was headed for.

    We are that predictable, and essentially it comes down to a lack of better options.

    Yep. I was being a bit facetious. I rate max. The problem is how poor our midfield is.

    Ah...,the plot thickens.

    I was going to say that the selectors said NYET, but now this twist.

    Maybe we secretly asked permission from the Integrity Commissioner* (LOL) to play games with our team too.

    ... always thought he had some flamenco in him blzb, never really believed he was all Rusky... :)

    So he got named as emergency, maybe they'll keep him on for one more year and trade Spence? Or they are just being heartless....

    • 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.
