AVB still injured, or just not able to get fully fit? 

It’s a secret Mr. Leg.

    I go back to when Saad left GC and I pushed hard to get him and we were uninterested. While not a perfect defender, his run off the back flank, especially with the new manning the Mark rule, makes him a very valuable player in setting up scoring opportunities.

    We have a 100 year plan for our 13th flag. It appears we are on track to achieve this.

    Wait for our next rebuild Red, we should not rush our 100 year plan. They will never seen us coming for our 13th flag!

    Was speaking to Whispering Jack the last few weeks and he was suggesting we look at Kaine Baldwin a very good player before 2 ACL's curtailed him. I then looked him up and got quite excited and was quietly hoping we would take him with one of our free Rookie spots. He has just been listed by Essendon, which has several new key position players taken and traded recently.

    We will see, but I fear he will be a better prospect than Daw and Declase or Farmer and Smith.

    Not a lot to beat there Mr. Leg. 10 decent games will see him at the top of the list.

    Disappointed that we didn't grab Baldwin.  Could be a gun if he eats enough bananas in the preseason.

    Essendon seem to be going for a lot of high-risk high-reward types and plenty of low-possession high-impact types.

    Anyone else quietly hoping that they finally do the full house of cards collapse that has been waiting to happen for years?

    All they need now is for Hurley's illness to be found to be related to a certain program of medically unsound... hmm... out of respect to Demonland, I won't even use full sentences in case some clutz (looking at you, Jon Ralph, yeah, we all see you there.) is trawling supporter forums for rumours to present as scoops.

    I think if we had a complete clean sheet with injuries, it might have been worth considering Baldwin as a medium to long term development player for Ben Brown to mentor over the next couple of seasons. However, with two acl’s and Brown and Weideman likely to miss 4 to 6 rounds, I think we have to go a little conservative with list vacancies. It wouldn’t surprise if we went for only one of Daw or Declase - we’ll know in less than48 hours.

    So we should be ready to go at 2024 AFL season?

    It is hard to plan these things became of border closures. Our leader is very protective and antivirus.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
