Hutchy is an absolute idiot.. trying to defend Alan Didak after a number of fairly serious incidents. He is a disgrace.

I'm not sure about Collingwood's decision to let Shaw play, considering it be a bigger punishment than being suspended and dropped to the 2's. I think Caro is right in saying that it would be worse for any player to be told they wouldn't be playing in a game with such importance, in terms of getting them into the finals.

Jim just comes across as such a polished presenter in situations like this.

Other people come on this show and look like amateurs harbouring a grudge, Jim always seems to answer passionately and honestly

Apparently Fox has pulled out of the running for CEO, Schwab massive favourite now you'd think.

Said he really wants us to be training at Casey as part of a long term move, not a short term one that was originally being considered which i liked

Good too see Cale get 4 votes too.

Fox pulling out of the race is interesting. Guessing Schwab has it all wrapped up. in the australian tomorrow it will confirm he is indeed the hot favourite.

Mighty demons are definitely moving to Casey Fields. Deal completed late last week and will be confirmed by Casey Council at tonight's meeting. Great that the Dee's will have a top class training facility; includes $2.1million extension to current facility. Dee's will train there ful-time for 18 months (until MPS is completed) and then undertake pre-season training for next 10 years minimum. huge Community program to work with local schools etc and hopefully build members. :rolleyes:

I take it that 2.1 is the total revised works including moneys allocated for parking areas and such and the reallocation of investment by the council from land to construction?

Wow that interview really didnt tell us anything we didnt know. You gotta hate journalists saying "I know you've answered this before, but....". Why not ask some new questions? But i doubt they would have really dug deep on him seeing garys on the show. It would be interesting to see him on the couch, without any bias and see how well he handles himself.

Probably the most interesting aspect..almost glossed over was when asked about the Dees move (eventual) to Bubbledome. He was non committal to this. A strange comment really if we're definitely going and its only a few signatures on a few bits of paper holding it up ??

Possibly unecessarily reading between lines..but when your pres says very little of definite content one is forced to extrapolate by looking at what he 'doesnt' say!!

I felt he came across quite well, and i get the feeling that the reason why he didn't ake up the invitation last week was more to do with the fact that there was more bad news than good news. Now that he had things to say on the positive side it made more sense to come on.

Interesting that we are trying to create a long-term foothold in Casey, as opposed to the previous board who wanted it as a short term training fix.

I never got the impression the previous board had any other intention.. This is a Connolly dream... ( and a good one I might add) All we're seeing is further progresion I would suggest...not any real change in tact.

I'm wondering if you could tell us what broke down with the St kilda and Casey relationship?

Why were they considered as having one of the worst AFL/VFL relationships?

Exacyly Pipefitter. Curly questions need to be asked.

Either they are still deciding what to do, or yet to sign, trying to work out a better deal, or waiting for tonights meeting at regarding Casey Council, hence the non-committal to MRS.

You can pretty much assure that we're pulling out of the Olympic Park deal.

That could be the case. Which would mean perhaps a "Boutique Stadium" at Casey......we'll get a clearer picture as this week progresses

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
