    It would be interesting to run this again in a couple of years if we get a flag.

    I suspect Max will bow out gracefully in the top 4 and we get a Stynes/Lyon playoff...

    Although Neitz is still a dark horse.

    A flag would change things.

    Impossible to vote against either.

    It gets harder tomorrow - Schwarz v Neitz. Messing with my mind.

    Very optimistic of you rjay......& I agree a flag may change things, however, that's more that a couple of years away, let's be honest. (I'm happy to be proven wrong though) ?

    Stynes will also have the number 1 tag stitched up for a long time IMO & can't see any of the new crop challenging Jimmy unless Oliver wins another couple of Bluey's.

    You don't have to vote against anyone 't'.   Just vote for one of them.

    A vote not given implies a vote "against". Can't do it.

    Exactly,  so its not really being disloyal to anyone.  It is just that,  what it is.   A personal truth

    Good as Jones has been for us, he's a long way short of the AFL's best midfielders. Has never been All-Australian.

    Nathan was no slouch , he was a terrific player  played in  ordinary  sides and gave his all.  He held his own against the best.

    Hard nut and most of all loyal. Could easily had left for glory.

    Loved Jimmy; heart and soul player, great athlete, worked hard to get his skills up to scratch, and simply a club legend.

    On Jonesy, for someone who has the knock of not great skills he's kicked some absolutely cracking goals over his career. Maybe people will argue he was the cream that rose to the top during an awful period but I think that's disrespectful to his guts, endeavour, and underrated abilities. 

    One's a champion, the other is a legend.

    • 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.
