Our game plan works if everyone is on. Unfortunately with the pre season we have had and injuries endured that was never going to happen.

I dare say we will see it in a game/s before the end of the year and we will literally [censored] someone.

 

Spot on.

Just watched him play against collingwood.

21 disposals 3 goals 5 tackles and 6 clearances. 

Hugely impressed by his game today and if he keeps playing like that he will play senior footy very soon.

yeah he was good wasn't he. he just looks one of those players who seems to do everything right.

 

By all account s he played a cracker for Casey today.

Hope he can, at an appropriate time, take the next step.

Well done.

is it true he's still only 18?

No, he's 93, his birth certificate was FORGED.

So is he actually Andrew Dunkley's father (or perhaps grandfather) and not his son?

Wordsworth's poem has always confused me but this may be the explanation?

My Heart Leaps Up When I Behold - William Wordsworth (1802)

My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.

Ah, Mono you have restored my faith in Demonland, poetry and class. Thank you.

dieter, I had anticipated that Hemmingway would have beaten me to the punch.

The commentators were saying he was the steal of the draft.  Others were recycled, trimmed from other lists.  Kyle is a fresh up and comer.

No offence to the Dunkley, but the old man sounds like a over possessive Fl og

Fancy giving your kids a serve and then demand them to go do a beep test because you didn't perform on game day. 

What a [censored]

Didn't he have a sook about Roosy forcing him into retirement because he was already 34 and was in and out of the 2s?

I have to say I had similar thoughts.

My son play rep basketball tonIf it. If he he plays crap I might him do a beep test when we get home at 11. Unlike Andrew though I won't join in


i wonder where he’ll play and what position? take baker’s spot i guess?


How neat is that?!  The coach doesn't tell Kyle directly, but does it via his brother!!  That's nice!  (Just a pity we're not playing the Doggies this weekend!)  Will he maybe come in as Smith's replacement?

 

Gotta be happy with this.

In a season that has been an absolute tragedy for MFC, this is a genuine highlight.

I really like how the club got his brother to tell him he is playing his first senior match. Even better for that fact his brother plays for another club. Family is everything, and this warms the heart.

For once, well done MFC, well bloody done.

No pressure Kyle, but i expect a rising star nomination this round.

  • 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.
