I know ye Demonians and today you wake in fear and dread, but take heart for there is comfort in this adversity.

Recall ye how the Geelong tribe treated our people - with contempt and conceit. Remember the thrashings they so gleefully inflicted upon us.

And remember too, that callow little [censored] who so arrogantly feigned boredom with defeating our people that he fell asleep during their victory chorus. Revel in his pain.

Take heart too in your own grit, for you are staunch and stand by our tribe - not at all like those of Geelong who last eve fled the scene before the contest was half over. Aye it is true for I saw it with mine own eyes - the hand shake and the farewell a mere 26 minutes into the second period! There is a term: Weak As.

Yet I, and many of you I know, stayed staunch through the challenges of 1988 and 2000 and more still. Take comfort that we are better than that.

And if it come to pass that our oldest enemy shall ultimately triumph then remember too, that sometimes it is right that the best team win whoever they are for one day and more, we hope that will be us.

Here endeth the lesson.

    When does Garry Junior sign on for the Suns? The pain started for the Cats on Friday night. It's due to continue next week.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last yearโ€™s grand finalists.ย  Well, it wasnโ€™t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer.ย A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.ย

    • 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.
