After another disappointing year by MFC he will seek success elsewhere

Well basing your opinion that we will have a poor year will lead to Clarry leaving is not a great reason for that to happen.
Zhe might win our B and F and be happy if we make the 8 !!!

    There was a lot of smoke about his tenure at the end of last season. Carlton were into him big time. He is out of contract at the end of this year. Do you honestly think that there will not be HUGE interest in him from most other clubs? His manager will be fielding massive offers. All footballers crave the ultimate success, a premiership. Can he get it with us? We have been dealt a massive hit with the loss of Brown and Weideman, and I just don’t think we can conjure a winning score without those two key forwards. Do you? So we will struggle to win games early to mid season, kiss finals goodbye because history tells us that you need early runs on the board. Hence my opinion that after another fruitless year, Clayton will seriously consider his options, especially when they have big bucks attached.

    No bobby I don't share your pessimism about kicking goals. It's a bit harder but I have faith in the new Coaches  and young players That should be selected.

    Could be fake optimism but we won't be one dimensional like previously and our smalls are exciting prospects and training well.

    Please  read dome of my posts Showing why so am very bullish about our mids and ruck connecting much better and playing team footy.

    Natural Improvement in  Lockhart Lever Rivers Fritsch Jacko Kossie and a resurgence in form from Harmes and Tommy Mac would add goals to our score plus Gus and Jack will be better with Ooze as coach of the mids.

    Half glass full not empty is my mantra !

    Position in 8 sure but Top4 not out of the question given Good injury runand game plan improvement .

    Clarry won't leave if he is rewarded with a new contract till his FA occurs if we show we are On the ball.

    • 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.
