I am only naming them after the event. We are a cursed club. It has to change. No club in history has had to contend with what this club has been dealt this year.

Not sure that Fitzroy fans would agree with you Redleg.

They got dealt some pretty crappy hands in their last two years.

    On another note , it never fails to amaze me how often we draft a player and then he is out for most of his first or second season. Just some examples recently Taggart, Gawn, Evans, Gysberts, Tapscott, Cook, Jurrah, Fitzpatrick, Spencer, Tynan etc.

    How could I have forgotten the Captain- Jack Grimes.

    Agreed. Didn't help that the AFL was dealing most of those cards from the bottom of the pack........

    I am not certain on wyl, you may well be right of course he may be going to both.

    If you are trying to bait me DC it works every time with N0.7

    I am going to the Brisbane game with my brother who is a Gabba Member so we get to eat and sit among the upper crust of Brisbane.

    It will not look very good to be seen lying on the floor in a fetal position crying.

    So please No.7 at Casey this weekend.

    PS Once again I forgot to use chrome!

    Still think he could make it. I would play him in the FP this week in place of Flash. I would tell him if he doesn't apply a strong forward press he has no future at the club. Think that would stir him up.

    I hope you're right redleg. he does have a lot of good features but so far i tend towards od's pov (though not as strongly)

    I doubt there is anything that would stir him up, you cannot pull up your socks if you do not have any on Redleg

    Threat of delisting may work wonders.

    Every time I see Lewis Jetta play I feel sick, thinking how we could have had him as a rookie, after Neville's mum told us about him.

    Surely not Daisy . He has never been a fan of the youth policy to my knowledge.

    I trust that he is not involved in the drug trade either-unless as a customer.

    Other than that-you would have to wear a "Kim Bradley won in Vegas " T-shirt to get locked up there surely?

    I heard that Lewis shadowed Keiran Jack all pre season - has bought his fitness to elite levels.

    I can't help but wonder which of our underperforming players - JB, Morts etc would lift to a surprising level given the same chance.

    That is a cultural thing and Neeld and Craig are attempting to change ours. Near enough is not good enough.

    Sorry Redleg no amount of fitness will cover a lack of skill and desire.

    Back to WA for me.

    Lets face it we are third last on the ladder 5 years into a rebuild.

    We must have a number of players that are not AFL standard.

    No. 7 is not on his own but in 9 weeks time 5-6 players should be for the high jump.

    IMHO no7 is in the lead group

    No, it was aimed at some of the ridiculous ideas on here lately.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
