I started taking pics of the dees @ pre season 3 years ago. I'm interstate with work again at the moment so can't get to the paddock this week. I thought I'd revisit the year I started. Enjoy.

The following year 2014. Watch out for a young AFL Academy attendee Gus Brayshaw.

    It's hard to grasp how we didn't push for a top 8 spot that season with those genuine match winners lining up in Sellars, Nicholson, Evans, Strauss, McKenzie, Blease and Rodan in the squad. Yuk

    It's amazing to see how much of the list has been trimmed removing some dead wood.

    • Jones
    • Watts
    • Trengove
    • Gawn
    • Dunn
    • Garland
    • Grimes

    • Jetta.

    Yikes. Up to 4 or 5 of them could go at EOS next year too.

    There's only 10 players left from the 2011 list ... add T-Mac to your above list.

    We've seen a lot of players come and go over the years but this year more than ever I've really noticed it.  I'm not sure why but this list goes a long way to explaining it.

    Such average players. Neeld didn't have a chance. Add to that tapscott, Byrnes, sylvia, m jones, tagart, Joel Mac, Barry 

    the list goes on. Hindsight is a great thing. I don't remember if u think we were so bad at the time.

    • 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.
