    Was mentioned in one of the other topics. Surely there'd be no surprise there, the guy tries hard but gets injured a lot. If he wasn't retiring then I doubt he'd get another look at AFL level next year.

    I feel sorry for him because he's always shown signs but then, hey presto, he's injured again.

    And what the hell  has happened to AVB?

    Seems like he has slipped into the twilight zone.

    That's a shame if true, i really liked him, was a really good competitor and could take a really good mark. Some players just don't have any luck. wish him well if true.

    I still think Pedo should have been on our list this year.

    This would not surprise me. I really feel for this guy. We was the perfect 3rd tall option for us when fit but unfortunately for him and us he is one of the unluckiest men in football when it comes to injuries.

    Agree mate, hope they aren't true and we can at least get another year out of him. Always gets the best out of himself and I love what he brings.

    we have way too many injury prone players on our list. You can carry one project injury player maybe two but not the four or five we have.

    Would not surprise me if we were having serious discussions with AVB.

    Joel Smith is the other interesting one along with KK.

    I expect J Smith gets a guernsey because with the departure of Tim S and Kielty our forward tall back up situation is desperate. (Trading aside.)

    Wonder what ramifications Burgess will have for perma-crocked players given his reputation.  Some may see what DB could do first before I pulled the plug.

    Harry O, Trenners & Clark in recent times also DJ.  We seem to have a penchant of picking up players that are prone to not quite cutting the 'resilient' mustard.

    You can add AVB to that RN.

    I think T. Smith is going to give it one more year. I think he's well liked in the coaches eyes. Dec Keilty will most likely get the chop.

    Am still holding a glimmer of hope that Burgess might come to the rescue OD but it's not looking great eh.

    I have seen nothing from the club since the end of Feb. Looks ominous. It will be a shame because he is just what we need tough and talented.

    Tim Smith has played about 8-10 games per year over the past 3 years.  Often it’s a hip or calf or leg injury. Unfortunately he is another who would be a very good player if he could keep injury free. May be delisted or retired

    Best of luck Bull, excitement of what might be when you first came in but injuries cruelled it all.

    (if he retires of course)

    Sad. I’m not sure what you’d earn as a sparky but would it be far off what you earn on a rookie list?

    Agree 'Diamond'.

    It's really effected our depth, particularly this season with the added injuries.

    Officially announced. Ripper bloke, always gave his all, probably to the detriment of his body in the end.

    • 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.
