Collingwood, Carlton and Essendon. I think they're the only 3 Victorian teams left in the competition. At least that's what it seems like when reading the papers. In fact, over the past 2 weeks, I would not think it ludicrous if someone added up the stats and told me that 50% of all football-related articled were about Collingwood.

My Age subscription is not worth the 25 bucks and the HS is probably worse from the odd days i bother to open it. I'm sick of it. Does anyone else feel the same? There's my 2cents for the day.

Answer: Read Demonland

Well I mean lets face. Barely anyone ( in comparison to other clubs ) support the Dees, so why would they want to read about them.

News papers still have a job, to sell papers.

Until we start performing or at least so some signs of improvement or even have something decent to report (sponsorship anybody), expect the articles to be far and few in between.

Personally, I don't think we have done so bad this pre season.

Correct, unless its really bad news or really good news you wont hear much about: Stkilda, Richmond, Bullies or melbourne and to a lesser extent the blues and essendon. Collingwood is the exception to rule. They are the slow news day fillers. Lets face it for the last 18 mths we have been making the papers generally for the wrong reasons, but in recent times things are starting to look better. Just wait until some of our recruits start winning games for us!

I can't remember the last thing I heard about Richmond that didn't involve someone being hit by a tram or the recruitment of a 31 year old

Todays paper has a lovely article on Richmond, much in the same ilk as the Ben Holland thing, but with Richo, Brown and Johnson. The AFL need to start investigating these little under the table deals at Richmond

I wonder what comes first ... the chicken or the egg.

Does the media follow the supporters ... or does the supporters follow the media.

Then do the "big" sponsorships deals follow the supporters or follow the media.

There in lies the answer.

....and further more, remember,

"No news is good news"

Couldn't agree more. Very little in the way of good news gets reported at this time of year so sometimes it's a good thing to be ignored.

As a sidenote: why do Colling@#$* get so much space in the papers when their supporters can't read?

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
