Thanks Lions for your win. No home final for you know who. Will be barracking for the Lions next week.

As much as we dislike Carlton the fact remains that they're in the top 8 this year and we are not. 

And as much as we dislike the way the Blues and their supporters talk and behave (they're not strutting around so much this morning), the tactics they use to get players and the way they appear to circumvent the rules to get their way, they have achieved in 2009 and we have not. 

I'll be supporting the Lions next weekend but I also hope that we adopt the same aggressive and uncompromising attitude  the Blues have to their trading and drafting this year as what they did a couple of years ago when they were down on the floor and held early national and psd picks.

I'll be interested to see how Johnstone goes in the final series. He's a proven finals performer, and I think Voss has brought him back for the last couple of matches because of this.

I thought he did ok last night. Probably his best game this season. Simon Black looked proppy in the last minute. The commentators siad it may have been cramping, I think T.Shaw thought it might have been a hamstring.

He would be a big miss next week if it is indeed a hamstring strain.

Would be great to see him repeat his performance against Adelaide a few years back... One of the best individual games I've seen from someone wearing the red and blue...

It was two quarters of magic with a 1/4 either side that was silent.

He did well in 2002 and 2004 in bursts but geez its a long time between drinks since he turned it on. He has been mediocre this year at best. If he does not fire then Voss is giving him his last couple of matches. I cant see them giving him a contract if he does not fire against Carlton.

Hopefully we can grab ourselves a Nick Stevens...

Preferably someone better and more team orientated.

Yes that 2002 Final really summed up Travis.

Sublime in Q 2-3. Went missing Badly when it REALLY counted. Such a shame.....

Same happened in the 2004 final against essendon.

But i wish him well this september.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.
