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.

    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

    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.

    • 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.
