We don't need to wish about winning 5-6 games, because we won't. 2-3 is realistic. I can see us beating Freo, Essendon and maybe Adelaide at the G.

Not sure what you had for breakfast this morning.....

Not a hope in hell of beating Adelaide at the G..... Unless of course they play 18 under 18's..... Who would probably still be too fast for us.... :P

We are in the early stages of what I hope will be a comprehensive rebuild.

We were crap last year and we quite rightly didn't recruit any stop gap hole plugging senior players so we are relying on the natural development of our young talent. That takes time. Add a few high draft picks from this years draft and our stockpile of talent will be the best we've had in years. Yes we've got to develop them and retain them but at least we have them. And we'll have alot more stokced up than most of our rivals.

We are not winning games but there are positives. Think defensive talls. Warnock is 25, 192 cms and 95kg. Composed, strong, does his job with a minimum of fuss. Martin is 22, 200cm and 102kg. Tall, gorilla strong, quick, good instincts, thumping spoil and marking improving. Frawley is 20, 192cm and 92kg. finally seems comfortable at AFL level. Can play on talls and mediums. Needs to keep improving kicking. Garland is almost 21, 189cms and 87kg. Athletic, positons well, could play in midfield. And then there is Jared Rivers at 24, 190cm and 90kg. Fingers crossed. Reads the play superbly. A quarter back who gets his own ball because of that. Marks well, spoils well, supports his team mates.

The Hawks'd kill for that group of defensive talls.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
