Well there is one player who I won't have to watch in the red and blue this year.

Universally, everyone's worst on the game day thread.

I would rather play one short, at least that way there are less turnovers.

OMG we have recruited Mark Neeld to play for us!!!!!!!!

    Not universally if you consider dream team points from the game. Player X finished just in the top half equal with Jimmy Toumpas and ahead of the co-captain who you sponsor Redleg. And well ahead of the likes of Tom McDonald and Sam Blease not to mention youngsters like Dom Barry and Max King. Contrary to popular misconception, statistics don't lie.

    And people who relied on them got us into the trouble we were in.

    According to the statistics, we should dump all of those named players and keep X.

    Dream team points!!!!!!!!!!!

    So that is all you have to hang your hat on WJ

    For a x premiership player he should be out leading the band not being to compared kids making the way at the start of their careers.

    The guy is so far over the hill he cannot be seen with a telescope.

    God deliver us.

    Funny thing is I don't even own a hat.

    Dream team points is one thing and his skills on the ground are another. He set up a couple of goals and didn't constantly turn over the ball as much as a few others and I hope your eyesight improves.

    No pain for me so far DF

    If anything they are ahead of my expectations.

    In the last seven years we have never been remotely close to the cats.

    I know they had a number out from their best but so did we.

    We are starting 2014 from the pit lane

    That said we still have a large number of VFL standard players and Byrnes is the leader of the pack.

    We are heading the right way IMO

    With the exception of the super claimant WJ I agree with your other comments.

    I see improvement already on the twin troughs of 2012 /13.

    There are still some better players to come in and as someone else said I get the feeling I will be able to go to most games in 2014 feeling we have a chance.

    PS The eye sight is fine particularly when I open both!

    No, he doesn't wear 10. The legend goes that he's so ancient that has to wear the Roman numeral on the back of his guernsey.

    Coming around WJ ?

    I won't stand for lies on this thread. Unless you lease the hats you wear, or borrow them from MRS. WJ, they must be your hats that I have seen you in. BTW, they are pretty ordinary hats.

    I have mixed feeling about this.

    But after a seven year rebuild I will be satisfied with nothing less then a Premiership or three.

    Correct me if I am wrong but is not Byrnes a dual Premiership player?

    Well at least one of my teams won a Premiership in 2013.

    Nothing better then watching your team win a flag against one of your most hated teams.

    Caps are not hats.

    Mind you, talking about stuff you borrow from the missus, I must say the dress you wore at lunchtime on Wednesday was quite captivating.

    I was doing undercover at the Gat for the Fed Police. Now you have blown it. You may be liable to charges.

    BTW I think the off the shoulder look suits me.

    Believe it or not most came from my father and are only stored in the grey matter.

    They are probably going to fade with me R and B.

    Here's one to ponder OD. The saints look ordinary. Now imagine your player X lining up in round 1. He happens to be in the right place at the time at the feet of Hogan and/or Dawes and snags 3 or 4. He'll be in for the next 6 weeks!

    • 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?

      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.
