This article reminded me of Jeff White's injury/attack from Steven King in 2006 (maybe because it's in the article) and it brought back a few memories of the game...poor Jeff. Five plates, fourteen screws, and a shitload of blood puring from his face as I remember. I was level one that day and I remember the cracking sound of King's foot - he should have been suspended.

Here's the article: Link

It's a pretty good article, I suggest you have a read/comment/whatever :D

Anyone else remember any other injuries? I'm surprised Caracella didn't make the cut

    I was level 3 behind the city end goals and I heard it.

    I never got over Thompson saying he couldve broken King's foot. Argh!

    Oh, here we go. Another 'big tip' link. Stop promoting your own crap on here.

    So, are you saying we should not provide links to any articles in any press as well? After all, that could be considered the promotion of major media interests.

    I found the article to be interesting and relatively informative.

    My name is Ethan. That's not the name of the guy who wrote the article.

    If I find/write anything related to the Dees it might as well go on here...this is a forum about the Melbourne Demons after all

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
