Melbourne fans would be pleased to hear, that as I walked past my local oval today I saw Straussy training hard.

He was doing 200m sprints with a 30sec gap then another ect he was doing this for about half an hour or so

He will be a gun and play min 10 games this year (injuries aside)

p.s. don’t know if this requires a new topic but couldn't find any were else to put it

New topic is good for me as it is sooo sloooowww with out Dees news :rolleyes:

Dont expect the Demon's too languish down the bottom!

Our crop of young guys will provide plenty of excitement on game day. And the current players will have benifited with a season under Bails.

I have a good feeling we will surprise alot of people and will be pushing for a finals spot. Shoot me if I am wrong. Opponents wont expect what we are going to serve up this season. A fight! We will be hard and ferocious. And not too mention quick! Catch us if you can the Dee's will surprise.

Go Demons!

 

we may surprise but our list is so immature that it seems impossible that we could even push for finals

i hope for prove me wrong

Go Demons!

With a young list it will all come down to 2 things.

1/ Momentum/Confidence - If this can be gained during the NAB cup, watch out in the early rounds the could be a few upsets coming.

2/ Injuries - Key players must stay fit (our rucks & Forwards are thin so if a couple go down were in trouble).

I'm very optermistic at this stage, and totally agree our attack on the footy should be something to look forward to!

 

I think people underestimate injuries in the competition.... Mclean and Moloney out last year... losing Neitzs and Robbo.... If we have a fit team we could do anything one to watch will be Silvia into the midfield... He is not a fwd but an onballer who can go fwd just hasn't hasn't got his body right yet....

But next year we won't get near it... the first ten rounds? we play all top eight sides from last year and travel the other two rounds to SA and WA.... I think this will set our tone for the season and although we could come back and win six or seven in the second half of the year we will put it down to development... tank a little (not on the field but in selections etc) and get the priority pick.... I know it sucks but I don't want to be there abouts up and down each year... I want a period on the top like Brisbane, Port, Geelong and a flag to boot... this will go a long way to setting the club up in the future as we need a little success and getting the extra pick aka Niknat this year will go a long way towards it

Sylvia better have a good year next year or we should get rid of him he has done too little for too long you can put Davey in that catagory too.

The first 2 games will show where we are at. The Kangas and Collingwood are known to drop games against teams they should beat if we can't at least get 1 win there it's going to be a long year.

so if we are bad again this yr and Davey and Sylvia have a bad year we should get rid of them? a bit over the top.....

Sylvia better have a good year next year or we should get rid of him he has done too little for too long you can put Davey in that catagory too.

If by that you mean trade them, then I can see some logic in that. Sylvia would be trade material every season simply because of his suspect body, and the fact he'd have some sort of market value. Davey would be trade material if his form was frustrating simply because he's got HUGE market value and may work out to be a sensational trade for us.

Personally I would hope we'd hang on to both. And as far as Davey's concerned, he's earned an on-off season or two, and he's worth more to the demons where he is with his identity, leadership, and his fanbase as one of the only demons with a clear personality. To trade all that in for, say, pic #4 (which is ambitious to say the least) would leave us horribly short-changed.

He's a good player... He's proven it with consistently good seasons in the past, and despite the criticisms levelled at him regarding his finals football potential. I say, even if he struggles again next season, we keep him.

If he were being played as a forward all year we would be measuring him for an AA jumper.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
