Didn't see the game chook, but given his otherwise good year (by all accounts) maybe he was unwell or injured?

Could it have the pressure applied by the opposition or the ocassion. A few players went missing in the grand final who otherwise had "good years".

    From last year.....

    "Why on earth would we give Hunt another year on the senior list? He has done nothing at all to date to suggest he will be an AFL player.

    Three years is what we gave Toumpas to prove himself, and he showed a million times more promise in that time than Hunt has."

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing, ay ? The problem is  - there is ruthless and reckless - you give players some time to show their worth and some will reward you and some will be a bust.

     

     

    Yes, but Mitchie came to us with a number of years already under his belt at a senior AFL club, Hunt did not.

    I'm still bemused why Mitchie got such a run in the senior this year compared to Grimes, who showed far more potential at AFL level IMHO.

    It was amazing the number of players who performed poorly that day. Was more than a few by my recollection. Newton, Grimes, ANB, Spencer...They weren't just average. They were awful.

    The occasion seemingly got to too many, though perhaps some of them played knowing their papers had been stamped.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
