Joel Smith will definitely be traded at year end. He will ask to be traded imo. 
 

Baker and Rivers must play v Saints. Need them to match Hill and Jones for pace.

    No one other club is going to trade for Smith when they can just pick up a delisted free agent.

    Even if he asks for trade, no one is going to come banging down the door. Billy Stretch and JKH also asked to look at trade options last year and both barely got a nibble. And both made far more impact then Smith.

    In regards to Baker, I am fan and in the boat that he needs to start getting games. Goodwin needs to stop this idea of Vandenberg being a winger because its not working. Hunter and their outside mids exposed him on the weekend. Hate to think what Hill will do..

    Joel Smith played in the backline... christ our coaches have no idea.   A scratch match and they dont even play him forward.

    He’s kicked 1 goal in his entire career.

    This kid leads up well and would create real scoreboard pressure - to the backline he goes.  Modern coaching, i dont get it

    That is only the majority view. Goodwin prefers to do his experimenting off a four day break against the top side.

    Didn't he kick 4 or 5 in the pre-season game last year with the groin injury, when we inexplicably left him on and rubbed him out for the year?   

    Weird that they just abandoned that experiment.

    I think he got 4 against Brisbane in a practice match, but the way some carry on you’d think we have Allen Jakovich playing in the back pocket.

    FD don't have an idea they shouldn't have been on  the list to start with let alone play forward.

    • 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.
