Excuse me? Trolling? Again? Have never trolled. Don't plan on it. Check your facts before you accuse posters, and show a little respect.

And no, they made the point in the program that they were dwelling on two separate players, and that it was vaguely comical. One with the surname Oliver and one with the surname Wines. Pretty much all their texts apparently were based around people who couldn't believe neither were on the ground in their starting AA midfield.

Here's a little fundamental about the development of language for you. People don't always communicate in a way that both parties enjoy or understand. The blame doesn't always lie with the person that conceives the wording. Sometimes, often in fact, the listener/reader is just a dingbat who either can't understand plain English, or refuses to.

Here's another fundamental for you. Check your facts before you go off half cocked. 

My sincere apologies Dappa Dan. I certainly didn't intend to offend. I was playfully referring to the chaos it caused when you referred to Oscar MacDonald as 'Ozzie' in a previous thread. Ironic, as part of that mock-rant spoke of effective communication and I'm afraid I failed miserably in having my tone understood. I don't think you're a troll and I'm sorry again to have upset you.

    Classy post Sku. And I think maybe a first in demonland.

    And yeah, I didn't quite see the playful tone. Maybe I'm just a bit of a dingbat myself. In any case...

    How good is Clarry!

    Not at all. I read it again just now and it came off as very harsh indeed. And apparently I'm writer by trade. It's time I learned how to use that cheeky Demon emoticon.

    Surely it can't be that bad. lol

    To direct it back on topic, the numbers this kid is getting in his second year is phenomenal. Put him in a Collingwood, Essendon, or Richmond top and I reckon he'd be the talk of the town. Personally I'm quite happy for him to keep flying under the radar a bit.

    I would, but I'm afraid that Clarry would know my precise whereabouts and my girlfriend will find out.

    Along with the Oliver article, theres another article on the HeraldSun website comparing Christian Petracca to the greats of the game.

    I guess the lid is off.

    We could have another Greg Williams or Sam  Mitchell with Clarrie.

    I can't believe the quickness of his reflexes, and the awareness of his team mates' whereabouts.

    He can take a mark and kick well too, but those creative hand passes in close or at a distance are the hallmark.

    We've gone for years without genuine stars.

    We might have four by 2018. Oliver ,Hunt, Hogan and Petracca.

    Could Frost be up there,too?,and wouldn't it be great if Weideman develops as hoped.

    For decades we've had to worry about opposition stars. Soon they'll have to worry about ours.

    ( like '94 when we had Jako, Stinga, Lyon, Schwarta and Charles)

    By the way, most sides would love to have Tommy Mac back there, and I have high hopes for Oscar.

    It's getting very exciting.

    You forgot our All Australian ruckman.

    Also our new Co-Captain.

    Oh and if Jack Watts can continue his improvement...

    • 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.
