The Demons, fighting to erase a $5 million debt, face the grim prospect of running on to Aurora Stadium on February 21 without a logo on their jumper.

The Demons have signed 18,000 members, 4000 more than at the same time last year. The club's debt is now about $2.5 million.

    Well, actually, the article is correct. The club is fighting to erase a $5million debt. They are about halfway through fighting the debt, with the remainder being around $2.5m...

    ... and clearly a fight only half fought and made more difficult for lack of a sponsor. It probably sums up our plight pretty well.

    They made another mistake in one of the MCDonald articles, the last line states that we've had 40 captains since Flower in '87....

    When your club makes the finals twice in a quarter of a century, I suppose you may feel the need to take a swipe at other team's lack of success, even if it's more successful than yours

    • 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.
