    Have you been living under a rock? May became the best key defender in the game after he got traded to us. Not to mention that Lever and Hibberd have had their career best years under us too.

    Aside from maybe Jeremy Howe, I can't think of anyone in recent years who actually reached their potential after leaving Melbourne.

    Cam Pedersen played some terrific footy for us after he was traded from North.

    I think Rivers will progress to a full time midfielder next year and personally think he we become a great midfielder!

    Apparently Tom Morris likes his surname pronounced like how a French person would say “Maurice”.

    Steven May? Michael Hibberd? Ed Langdon? Jake Lever? 

    Seriously? 

    They were all good at the time 

    May was Captain

    Lever a gun.

    How is the latest unfulfilled high draft pick going in his new environment ?

    Give me a break please.

    Actually that he's not a big body is the problem I see

    I completely forgot how good Bernie Vince was when he came to us too. He was an absolute gun.

    Yeah he was  but  my question for you geniuses was which unfulfilled talent  did the Dee's make better?

    I think Salem is a high half back only. It is the easiest position on the ground and suits his exceptional ability to read the play and hit targets.

    He does not have the engine required to play ANB's role or play wing and I don't think he is big enough or quick enough to play inside midfield.

     

    Agree on half forward and wing, disagree on midfield. Assuming his body gets fit and healthy I think he can play the Pendles role who sits in the corridor and directs traffic and folds back to help the backline.

    He could even rotate with someone like Rivers taking more centre bounces then switching with Salo.

    If our aim is to move the ball with switches and corridor play then we could do with Salem as a fold back midfielder and ask our wings to push in and forward more.

    Our mids are contest to contest followers. We need at least one more creative midfielder who provides uncontested possessions.

    • 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.
