Three seasons ago I introduced a South Sudanese boy to Aussie Rules. Oakleigh Footy Club were fantastic at helping him out and looking after him. Three Best and Fairests later he is playing in the Demons Under 16 NGA side this Thursday. Long long way to go and still to choose be Footy and Basketball but I’m very proud of him as he’s a terrific kid as well.

    About 188cm now. He’s 15. I don’t want to build him up as he is coming from a long way back from kids who have played from very young. Really wanted to give a shout to our NGA program and how excited he was to meet Kossie and other players. Love to be a destination. Club for our South Sudanese kids though.

    Plus some Alice springs players who were flown down. Love what we are trying to do with the Alice Springs area and the time and effort put into building it.

    • 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.
