    Thrilled for him. That shoulder/collar-bone injury in '05 really put the brakes on what was shaping as a pretty exceptional career. Still a great of the club though. Onya Brucey.

    Kicked his 200th goal a few weeks ago too. Love having midfielders with more goals than games. Had a great last month, and a great last 18 months actually. Back to some of his best, even if he is a very different player now compared to what he was in '05. With a couple more seasons who knows he might even make 250!

    I couldn't think of a worse way to bring up a milestone game, playing against an angry bunch of pussycats down at the cattery.

    He runs a marathon every week but must be happy to do what he did on Sunday and play off a HBF for his remaining years.

    Good luck on Saturday...

    Congrats to Cam on his 200th this weekend. He's been a good player for us, probably one of our best players for the decade. He cops alot of sh*t on here, most of it unjustified. His disposal has declined over the past 2 seasons, but he is still an important part of the team and has played many roles very successfully. He was magnificent 04-05. Not only before he got crunched by Guerra, but some of his tagging jobs on Hird and Brad Johnson, while booting bags of goals himself, were great footy.

    Best of luck to him going forward.

    Onya Brucey. A True Demon who loves the new direction the club is taking.

    Really talked up Bailey in an interview yesterday.

    This Club is Moving places & Brucey knows it.

    You're absolutely right.

    And on his kicking: my mates and I have joked about his helicopter punts from 2002 onwards. His kicking was like this pre-guerra, so I don't know what people are talking about.

    Maybe it looks worse cause we've been crap for the past 30 months.

    Bump. The players will be keen for a win here. Keep it clean and wish him well. Leave the sledging in the other thread. This is his tribute thread.

    Congratulations to Cameron on his magnificent 200-game achievement!

    He's been a great servant to the club this past decade and I know I personally have appreciated the way he's gone about his footy from day 1. Probably not the most talented and never the hardest player around, yet a magnificent reader of the play and exceptionally versatile. Unfairly wore the brunt of our own great expectations of him being 'the next James Hird', some years ago. Those lofty expectations meant many supporters were very disappointed with the player Cam finally developed into. A good honest player, go-anywhere type, capable of great things on his day, but ultimately no superstar. Not to mention his disposal tapering off over the last few seasons, which even further intensified the criticism directed toward him.

    To come from where he has (missing those drafts in the late 90's, and built like a rake), and play 200 games and win a b&f is testament to his outstanding work ethic and attitude. I do think he cops more than his fair share from many fans, but only because we all wanted him to become something he never was able to be... a superstar of elite status; not just another good footballer with questionable kicking.

    I'm not surprised he has said they want to win and that he wants to stick around for as long as another 5 years. The club is on the rise, and he obviously wants a part of it. Who wouldn't? Unfortunately, Cam's probably not part of our future success; he must know this deep down inside, and that is sad for him. But sometimes it's just the way the cookie crumbles.

    Nonetheless, congratulations must go to Cameron on a fine career to date.

    BRUUUUCE

    To make it to 200 games is a great achievement.

    Like many I've been frustrated by Bruce's disposal in recent years and it's probably clouded my thoughts of him.

    In fact, I did - somewhat naively - suggest to some colleagues in 2003 that he would win a brownlow.

    PS. Doggo makes a good point regarding expectation. I think it's a similar story with many of the guys who cop the most flak on here (ie. Miller).

    Congratulations Cameron. 200 games is an achievement to be respected whatever the circumstances.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
