ok boys

ive got a friend in the television sports media.

im sure that if i could convince him that there was a positive story about melbourne hed do a report on it.

ive suggested comparing this preseason to last preseason, when we had a lot less players fit, trained all over the place, and didnt have goal posts till round 4, whereas this year we are training early, less injured players, and have a ground with goalposts already

not to mention we have cut a lot of debt

and jimmy and dean seem to finally be changing the culture of the club for the better, and weeding out the crap elements and people as they go.

his exact words when i discussed this with him were, yeah but that'll take years.

it took geelong a decade, i replied.

anyway, ideas!

    These things are all good but they're not very news-worthy.

    easy: talk about the demon summit and how positive the day turned out to be

    interview jack grimes, high tower, 45hotgod's mum, whispering jack and one of stynes/conolly/bailey/schwab and talk of some of the concepts that were discussed

    then talk about casey fieds

    3 minutes, national nine news, tick

    This story would be guaranteed to hit the papers. Say we are looking at Cousins with our our pick number 1 in PSD.

    A few days later we get another story saying he doesn't fit into our plan for the revival of the Dees. Then point out some of the guys we are developing, McNamara, Cheney, Aussie, Spencer, Maric, Grimes, Martin, Garland etc.

    1. We have the number 1 draft pick. Surely he could do a story about the selection process to determine who to take?

    2. What about a piece on Demonland and the sad minds of the internet forum user?

    3. He could do an interview with DemonRuckle who would explain how he spent most of last year at the pub drowning his sorrows with FatCat & Hector the Safety Cat and how great it is to be back at the club. Only problem is that I don't think he can talk.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
