    Jeez Geelong are about to feel some pain.

    If only for that ****ty home ground of theirs they'd be looking at an extended bottom four finish over the coming years.

    Who have we got over 30 that's still playing a role? Gawn's the oldest in our team and isn't 39 til December .

    We had the second youngest team last week and are ridiculously young, a fact I think is often overlooked by commentators.

    Off the top of my head I can’t think of one 30+ player at our club that plays a regular key role. It’s a great thing for our future!

    Next year we could realistically have the honorary captain and vice captain with Gawn and May both sneaking in.

    I'm kind of comfortable with the fact that for the next few years we have just two more players a year crossing the threshold. 

    2022 Gawn and May

    2023 Brown and McDonald 

    2024 Viney and Tomlinson

    2025 Salem and Hunt

    My gut says a few of those will go many years beyond 30, too.

    I for one struggle to be pessimistic about a period where our current astonishing group of younger players are at their peak.

    Better days ahead.

    Buddy at 10 is laughable. If you were taking any of these guys on a one year deal right now he would go no.1

    • 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.
