OMG

Where the hell is the exorcist?  Normie’s curse is alive and well.

Not that he was likely to get a senior game this year but doing well at VFL and hopefully winning finals would be so important to his development. 

Poor bugger.

    Rats! 

    A big preseason awaits the fella.

    Looking forward to seeing him play seniors next year

    A shame for Baker but as these things go, not the worst injury we could get. Hopefully it's the last bad one of '18!

    A real shame. VFL finals would be a step up in intendity so it's a shame he will miss that experience as a player.

    He has been good in the VFL so I think next year could be the year he finds time in the AFL team.

    And it didn't look that bad when he did it!  I initially thought he had cramp and the physios worked on him for a while near the interchange bench.  I thought Mitch King's knee injury was worse, yet he is a 50/50 chance this week!  Ironic!

    Must have been a serious tear, it’s a shame as he was showing some good signs with a chance to debut this year.

    So he's only available for the grand final or is he available for more games?

    Was looking forward to seeing him play a game this year, especially with our outs and his pretty good form. TBH though, given it's 3 big-time opposition teams now, GC was probably his last chance anyway.

    Next year Oscar.

    Hopefully the next few weeks is all about getting our better senior players back in the team, rather than looking to blood a debutant.

    Baker has had a good first season developing in the vfl.  Bank it, then hit preseason at full speed.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
