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?

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
