Whats that taste in my mouth!!

Well what a year, no 2 years. From the beginning of the year our expectations were so high, and then by round 10 we were already looking at draft picks. Now that has happened, and we have lived though possibly the worst 2 years I want to remember, we need to forget the past. We now need “THE TASTE OF SUCCESS!”

We will have little or no excuses, as I recall there was a post recently showing with this year’s draft picks, we will have 16 players who were picks in the top 21 over the past few years. Only the Saints, Blue’s and the dawks, can boast picks like these in recent times.

So Jimmy, Bail’s Swaby, Chris C and all the guys behind the scenes it now up to you to give us long suffering Demon supporters the “THE TASTE OF SUCCESS” we want, we need, no we now demand.

You have the supporters, our debt is diminishing, we will have the players, and we have the best president.

What is stopping us!!

Go D’s 2010 and beyond!

Couldn't agree more. Everything seems to be falling into place for a period of sustained sucess on and off field. Time to see our dreams become reality.

I still think there are a couple of holes to be filled.....but the shackles will be off and I'm sure the players will be keen to atone for a miserable 2 years after some development together.

However there is still some development to go. So, don't be too disappointed if we don't get the results you want early on in 2010.

I agree, but no more excuses, no more mediocrity, it won’t happen overnight (I wish) but it has to happen!

Get used to it. The side is still young, its inexperienced and still in development. Days of great promise will also come with days of soul searching.

I am prepared to be patient, but I feel the list is already (i.e. without the incoming draftees) showing signs of heading in the right direction. Hawthorn showed last year that sometimes sucess is closer than most people think. There is at least plenty of real reasons to hope for sucess, rather than the blind and mis-guided hope we have had to settle for in recent years. The taste is definetely there.

I want to taste it. I sick of honourable losses, good efforts, not reading newspapers for the negative press, the tanking issue, only really being interested in Casey and the progression of our kids, and so forth.

And hopefully and with a bit of luck, the TASTE OF SUCCESS out of the Premiership cup!

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
