I'm a harsh marker.

Maybe my grade/mark will improve after standardisation.

(On a side note; I thought the off season was bad in here. This forum needs round 6!)

 

Definitely. We're all worked up with unanswered questions after a draw, tragic loss and two un-interpretable wins, and they go and dump a bye on us and leave us hanging.

Definite tension on Demonland. Dunno about at the club itself.

Maybe the review was run with the deliberate goal of making sure there weren't any turds floating around under the bath bubbles?

The common pattern for top teams lately has been to peak, fall short, realign/review, and then make the big run.

Geelong, St Kilda, Collingwood, Hawthorn (though the Hawks slipped one in on the first peak).

I would suggest that the club is conscious of the fact that these clubs all got to the pinnacle and then had to re-evaluate because they just weren't quite able to reach the top. The time pressure if we are going to get a Crawford-style sendoff for guys like Green, Moloney, Davey and Jamar is intense - these guys can't afford to wait the extra couple of years for the reset to be done.

A bit of disruption now, to make sure all is lined up right for the first tilt and the realignment afterwards is a small and brief as possible, seems like a good way to go.

I am of course hoping, rather than knowing, that this is the way things are going.

FFS just get rid of DB now. Get the Ox in to mentor Watts, who clearly needs someone to help him rather than just the coaches and sign Roos to take this group forward or wait for MM. Its simple really. Where theres smoke theres fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have posted more about the perceived awful reaction to your initial posts, than about these 'against the mould opinions' that you have and we evidently don't.

You have had to deal with dismissiveness, condescension, someone pointing out the 'tone' of capital letters, some perceived name calling due to an misunderstanding, and your non-acceptance or comprehension of emoticons (google it).

So while that is a lot to deal with in your first week, there is no malice.

It's just been a massive "Welcome to an Internet Forum"...

Who has two thumbs and doesn't give a crap?

Internet Forums.

I thought we'd met?

(That's a bastardised Scrubs joke, but by all means take offence.)

Lets set the record straight. This forum is to express your opinions and thats exactly what I will continue to do. Thats why there called opinions cause you are allowed to have one last I checked.

Being a "rookie" poster means jack sh#t it doesnt mean I have just started following the Dees. And for those who give a crap I have been a Dees man for 33 years. As for the spelling or grammer FFS who cares. Its great to see everyones opinion on this forum even if you you dont agree with it but when you start to comment on their spelling etc you really need to pull you head in. I didnt realise we were getting graded on this.

There, I feel better now. Carry on.

To feel even better, look upon the spelling/grammar corrections as a free service of demonland B)

only joking . . . . . but some shockers are worth having a little poke at now and again

Ah yes , but you would never get "spell check" on a Collingwood forum.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
