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.

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?

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
