Good for you. Expecting pleasant positive posts from you from here on in ;)

It will improve, don't be too dis-heartened.

Cannot promise that mate I have not seen the last three games but there does not seem much to be positive about.

My 17 month old Grand Daughter is fantastic, ran to me at the airport this morning.

How is that?

 

Just read the story on Leigh Williams on the MFC web site.

Just brings back the reality that in the end it is only a game.

Hope the kid gets back before the end of 2012

Back in Oz and on the Gold Coast for a couple of days. Great to be back.

Just watched the last quarter of the Tigers v Swans game last week to get a footy fix. It showed again what we lack and that is pace on and off the ball and the skill and talent to deliver it accurately.

It amazes me when people say we recruited all these talented skinny quick players and should have gone for solid types. I actually think we have done the opposite. Aside from T$ who obviously can't be named on this thread and maybe Blease, who are all these quick skinny skilled players we have recruited?

From our first game this year we have been shown up in pace and skill. It seems to be our downfall in every game. There is no doubt we can get contested ball and also no doubt that we then turn it over.

This is the reason I feel so strongly that we can turn it around next year if we finish last or near last, get JV for a 2nd rounder and use the three 1st round picks to get talented quick skillful players with a hunger to win. Add that to our best side and there is a huge difference to our chances. We also need to get games into our younger players.

For the record I don't see guys like Trengove, Gysberts, Tapscott as quick especially when Fitzpatrick can easily out sprint them. We need pace around the packs to break the lines or we will never improve.

The Gold Coast?

You're in the wrong place. We're playing Sydney today. We don't even have a game on the Gold Coast this year!

Well that explains why I am the only person here at Metricon Stadium.

Thanks Macca tried it but did not work however I have found a convertled way round it at present. but is painful.Bit like our team

Went to watch Uni Blues on saturday.

Had a great afternoon ( remember when all tha games were Saturday afternoon ) they won the game.

Then came saturday night, not a surprise really but I was surprised the game was over at the 15 minute mark of the first quarter.

Yesterday I was washing my car before attending a friends birthday party in the afternoon.

And I did something I have never done in my 52 years of suppoting the Dees.

I peeled off my "demons Sticker"

I am too brittle to take the derision associated with being a dees supporter now.

It did not help of course that a large number of them were Tiger fans.

Just shows how low have I sunk?

And I have every confidence worse is to come before 2012 is over.

Guys can we please stop creating threads that are slight variations on existing threads.

It has got the ridiculous stage.

Nasher can close some of them please

Why do they go to all of the trouble and expense of preparing that lovely Skrota Stadium and then have GWS play us at Manuka Oval in the middle of the world's largest above-ground cemetery? A three hour drive to the deep freeze as opposed to 20 minute drive to the relatively mild environs of Homebush Bay.

Because it is GWS and everything they want they get

Just saw a replay of the Saints game and we were ok for 90% of the game. We were a goal down with about 5 minutes to play. How is that a pathetic side? We have played ok in parts of other games as well and then agreed, pathetically in others. There is some light at the end of the tunnel and it will probably have more to do with our younger players and the ones we draft this year, than our older ones.

Flying to Bali on Friday.......Will watch the boys on TV at the sports bars........(Ess and Coll) Plenty of pools or beachs to drown myself in after the games......or just drown myself with Bin Tangs......

Enjoy your holiday. Don't think you will enjoy watching the game though.

Agree, further progress we see from the likes of Blease is important. I would like to see Strauss, Gysberts play. They've already misse virtually half a season once again. Need continuity of footy, we are currently seeing it with Blease.

New trend on Demonland besides a thousand new threads each week, is for suggestions we get whoever is in the news and says anything sensible on football. We already have get Rendell, Mooney and Ling threads among others.

Agree Redleg.

Enjoyed my football at the weekend.

Uni blacks won and now six straight.

Love it

No matter which way I look at our on field performance I come down to the same 4 points, all of which the good sides have and we are probably rated the worst in the league, hence our ladder position:

1. Good midfield.

2. Small Forwards.

3. Disposal.

4. Pace.

None of it comes from our current coach.

Had a great day at the footy today

Just got home Uni Blacks got up again by 6 goals ( beat the last team today ) still undefeated.

Picked up by a couple of mates so no need to drive.

Don't think the cork will come out of single malt tonight, already a few too many MB's

I had forgotten what it feels like going to a game expecting to win.

Bloody marvilous!

Now the pain starts I guess but at least I can turn off the Tele if it gets too bad.

Need to stay nice from here on, 7.00 AM GD minding duty tomorrow morning.

Go Dees

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
