I keep reading in this thread about the concern of a "long trip to WA". I hope it's only supporters who even think that it's a concern. West Coast and Freo cope with this "long trip" every two weeks or so. If they can do it, we can do it. And we only have to do it a couple of times per season. If our team's mindset is somehow compromised by this concern then we're not yet ready to be a power club. 

Have you seen West Coast's record away from home?

    Anyone know if any other teams have three straight 6 day breaks with  a big interstate trip in the middle?

    We have been shafted by the AFL schedulers, I am surprised PJ let them get away with it.

    You're the first I've seen complain seriously about it. Part of the reason it happens is that we had a QB game. Always gonna have short breaks after that. Plus the Anzac one.

    I feel like it's more of a Scott brothers thing to complain about everything you don't get.

    Imagine if the games didn't go Monday > Sunday > Saturday > Friday... and went Monday > Saturday > Saturday > Friday. Would you be anymore pleased? 5 day break followed by 7 and 6... You ca write off the 5 day break.

    I reckon 3 6ers is a great get in point of fact. It's doable.

    Just as we had all the good news...

    Still. We have options. Gawn coming back and Hogan soon means structurally we might not have such dire need for the production Jones brings.

    I'm gonna get more up and about about Trengove coming in now. Fair warning. lol

    Chunk out for 4-6 is massive.

    Hope he heals quickly and is back soon.

    So first we had Jones will be ok.

    Then out for 2 weeks followed by 3-4 weeks and now we have the dreaded 4-6.

    Anybody predicting the season ??

    Jones hasn't missed since Round 14, 2012. Let that sink in for a second.

    Its going to be weird seeing the team run out without him over the next month. On the bright side, its a brilliant test for our younger players, especially Viney to take on the added load in the midfield.

    Also, this is where the absence of Brayshaw really hurts. I'd love to see him play a full game in the midfield and not as a defensive half forward.

    It'll be the Darwin game that kills us and we brought that on ourselves.

    Good to see Port lining up the suckers to sell their home game for the China fling next year.

    See that the AFL revisionists are now calling it a success save for the bad game by the Suns.

    We're better placed to cover the loss of Jones than ever before. Max back is a good start.

    So Jones out - Gawn in

    Well as they say, one soldier out one soldier in, it is about the system you know, Lewis brought that with him from the Hawks.

    JKH needs an extended run in the VFL. If no one else is omitted due to injury, as others have suggested, Jones out and Gawn in.

    • 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.
