    Very good point and are very unlikely to pay the payroll tax in 2013 bb

    Perhaps 2014?

    If you can find them and single them out for me I would appreciate it. I've got a dose of reality for both parties that says we aren't going well because of the past, but looking forward things will be gradually on the up despite false dawns recently.

    yeah...id be thinking that..

    Depending upon the result of the 3 ring circus we all love as EOS and how our lot shape up ( on paper) there may well be an eyebrow raised from a slumbering long time sufferer. But just as that old yella type of hound pricks its ears it will only get up for something substantial. 14 might well be that time after a years reasonable and satisfactory effor and withot reservation , deal breaker, rise up the ladder.

    weve all gone over this chestnut any number of times but if there was ever a sleeping giant come membership of an AFL team , its us.

    Runs on the board and we could strike out to 50,000 I have no doubt. With all the ancillary benefits that come of that.

    In the mean time We all hang around like the pained waiting in the dentists waiting lounge. :mellow: Filling, extraction, whateever......just make the pain stop !!!

    as an example Hardnut is convinced all our troubles have been the coach.

    I never really expected him too leave

    The embarrassment would have been to much for Eddie and company to endure.

    Now all he has to do is earn it.

    Pressure mounts very quickly if you get paid big Monte Carlo's and play like a teddy bear.

    Not sure how the Pies are going to pay everyone in 2013 and beyond.

    Yeah well, some don't want to even contemplate alternate views no matter what is put forward. Set in their ways with the blinkers on.

    He's delivered on his promise to shake up the joint and go down a track unfamiliar to many within the melbfc. A professionally run outfit. Rome wasn't built in a day and he needs players to play roles and cattle. Quality cattle which he hasn't got.

    Some people talk about wins of the past, some of those players have moved on, different dynamic, different path now. Different coach.

    In a month or two's time the playing list will be significantly different to 2012. It's a tough job and initiation for any rookie coach.

    I shouldn't have to go on about our midfield, you've read it all before.

    We are headed for a very interesting few weeks. When all is said and done, if we could get a couple of good mids in trading, like Wellingham and say Stevens, then draft a few more like JV ,Toumpas and maybe MacRae, we would be far better off than we are currently.

    I suspect the trade and draft period will start with hope and expectation and fizzle out as all trade peiods have in the past.

    Apparently there is a game on today. Lets get it over with and then we can move on to the important part of this season for us. The other part was pretty sh-thouse.

    Bloody amazing

    Good ball handling skills and strong on both sides

    A lot of forward progress and still an emphasis on containment.

    It would appear some overindulgence with complexity to satisfy what could be analysed as a simple outcome.

    Has maybe some comparisons with our game.

    with the right tools and systems a consistent outcome can be expected. Even some of the randomness still achieves the required result.

    There is order in the chaos.

    Sorry just diverted into an old obsession.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
