Two weeks ago the Crows beat the Cats who  we could not beat with Clarry in the side.

How on earth will we beat the Crows on their home patch with or without Clarry?

4 weeks ago, Bulldogs beat Geelong by 2 points.

2 weeks ago, Melbourne beat Bulldogs by 50 points.

1 week ago, Geelong beat Melbourne by 2 points.

Old Dee, your argument is so illogical.

    This season more than others, it is noticeable that certain teams just match up well against others. There are 14 teams that on their day can beat each other irrespective of ladder position.

    We're not a genuine contender.

    But we are a genuine contender to get into the finals series. Just not do very much when there.

    But that's fine...  as we are onward upward.   And we are growing older and maturing, getting stronger, getting better.

    It's all part of the deal.

    I differ somewhat.  I don't think we'll make it, but I think if we do we can do some damage.  I think our mental hurdle is our absence from finals, not the premiership drought.  Make finals and I think we'll play with more freedom and be more dangerous.  Not saying by any means that making the finals should be a measure of success, that should always come down to premierships.  I don't think many sides would want to face us if we made it to the finals.  But, alas, I don't think we will this year ?

    Except they don't train there.

    That said there has been questions asked if they Olympic park (where they do train) surface is a contributing factor in their soft tissue injuries.  Which would be weird given it was purpose built for pies to train on

    OK, thought they trained on opposite ovals beside each other, managed by same curator? Never been there

    I think we can do some damage in the finals series, but I don't think we are ready to go all the way.

    We're a bit immature, a little bit short of what it takes IMO.

    We need to try to recruit a couple in the 26 yrs to 28yrs bracket.

    I reckon most of the emergencies should travel this week.

    Vanders for Harmes, just in case he doesn’t come up

    Weideman for Hogan, just in case Hoges doesn’t get over his man flu

    Wags for JKH, on the off chance the match committee realise they’ve made a mistake

    Peds because he’s a worthy inclusion

    • 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.
