Very good year for Col.

Finished 3rd in the Demonology Player of the Year, and people know their footy over there.

If anyone thinks he had a bad year or he wont get even better in 2009, then just leave the board immediately as you are embarassing yourselves.

Y_M (or S_P) when does your ban lift on bigfooty?

Never, they banned me forever.

Not sure anyone knows that besides you. I think the faithful are waiting for my return, but its impossible.

Cameron Bruce finished 5th in both the Demonland and the Demonology awards.

Good judgement!

In the Yze_magic player of the year, he finished 15th.

Sylvia finished 2nd behind Green.

Colin is one of those guys who is always "almost there" but not quite.

He does have the talent to succeed - DOES HE HAVE THE WILL???

over to you Col - we would all just love to see you meet the high expwctations that have been laid upon you.

Ferg was a dud and MFC held onto him too long.

I disagree. And so did the Hawks, who wanted to trade trade for him, but he wouldn't go! Go figure.

At least he played bravely. When was the last time Sylvia backed into a pack? Watch him, before a pending contest, he always has a look around.

Anyway, I have been a critic of Sylvia, but I think his last third of the season got progressively better. As such, I would be happy to keep him. At least his trade value would have gone up.

(Errors like the nonchalant up and under in the backline against the bombers are the sort of things that worry me now.)

In the same game where he made one poor kicking error, he backed back into a pack to take a gusty mark and then kicked truly.

If you are gonna highlight his one mistake in that game, how about you highight all the good things he did as well?

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
