    Sorry mate but when i read it online it didn't have the paywall on it. I was able to access it but seem others can't now.

    Yep I have the paywall issue :(

    I did also note an interesting article on the Adelaide Addy re Trengove and Lachie Neale being mates from way back.

    Very good article about a kld who is still finding his feet in the man's world of AFL football.  The mind boggles at the heights he could reach in the next few years.  A bloody ripper, that's for sure.  So happy that he wears red and blue when he seemed destined to be a Saint.

    Great article but this quote made me a bit queasy.

    “We’ve actually had five knees in five years in the family,” he says.

    “Not all ACLs and they were all self-inflicted, but my brother did his PCL before me, and my (other) brother did his ACL (five) weeks ago.”

    I still can't believe Petracca slid through to 2. It is something I don't think I will ever understand.

    I will give you my answer in about 4 years when we have had sufficient time to evaluate Tracc versus McCartin

    i thought until recently Weitering was certain to win the Rising star, and i think he probably still will but Gee Track is going to give it a real shake.

    For some reason despite how good Christian Petracca plays in the latter part of the season, I have a feeling the AFL would push for Wietering to win it over us. Could you imagine..our key position player last year winning it over Carltons midfielder and then our midfielder winning it over theirs this year...lol

    It was all about price for key fwds. Boyd and Buddy signing big deals spooked the Saints.

    Enjoyed that, especially an insight on how he felt last year and his positivity for the future. The fact he was no.2, the fact he went down so early in the preseason and Brayshaw's form put him massively under the radar. Then his injury this season made me feel his career will be somewhat plagued. The fact he was significant in such a poor team performance V Sydney gives me hope he's a guy not afraid to dominate and we need a couple of them

    Great work .

    I hope the media just repeat the same facts for the next 15 years about his basketball career as a junior.

    I loved it when they mentioned MU every time Brad Green got the pill.

    Showed their brilliant research skills.

    He's something we've lacked for almost as long as I can remember. He's a game breaker, he's someone that when the game is on the line you want it in his hands and he wants it in his hands. He'll be the one that'll pluck that incredible goal out of nothing, or burst through the pack at the last stoppage of the game and deliver it lace out to Hogan. He will win games off his own boot. 

    And he's ours.

    Pates If he gets half way to that amazing outlook I would be a happy Demon. Having said that I do think he will be one of 3 future champs for us provided we can seal the deal with Hulk post 2017. However,  being a wounded warrior over many decades I tend to take the "seeing Is believing" route nowadays

    Good article, but his second goal against the Suns is chronically underrated and didn't get a mention in this piece.

    • 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.
