Our leaders efforts last year were not good enough. If they had retained there positions i would have been very disappointed. A Statement has been made. The coach will live by his sword and his alone.

    Is that a serious question? I was just pointing out that we will have some unhappy players in the group. If that unhappiness manifests itself in form or attitude or behaviour it will need addressing, that is my point.

    And I was just pointing out that whatever the choice the club makes, someone will feel disappointed at missing out. I agree ... you make the decision, then the fallout depends on how you deal with the disappointments, and the maturity of the players.

    Maybe some players will appreciate the ability just to concentrate on their football and not be burdened with responsibility ... even past leaders. It's not all negative for the non-leaders.

    Don't forget Flash, who carries the indigenous leadership hopes and was suggested by many to be Captain last year.

    Redleg I think Davey is at the end.

    his injury list is mounting.

    He has slowed a little and that was his big strength.

    give him a hard tag and he is useless.

    I hope I am wrong but I see him spending a lot of time at Casey this year.

    Sadly I tend to agree. Hope I am wrong also.

    Davey needs a new role...all players lose speed. He may have 2-3 years left if he can adapt.

    I think our premiership success does not depend on the happiness of Green, Davey, Rivers and Moloney.

    But we won't win a flag without Grimes, Trengove, Frawley and Garland.

    Footy is like any other competitive industry, people lose out, people get fired, and people have to put up with it.

    The players who are no longer in the leadership group have clearly done something wrong. Jones and Grimes made it through 2011 because they displayed outstanding leadership in tough times. The other 4, didn't.

    A small forward role beckons if he is up to it. The ball is squarely in Flash's court to earn it .......... which is exactly how it should be!

    I agree. Grabbing it off the pack and kicking the snap goal was his start. Hopefully he still has that ability.

    Does anyone know what Davey's injury is?

    He has had a few leg injuries over the last 3 years.

    Made a spelling mistake thought I had better correct it before BH got on to me.

    No it was not Davey

    Couldn't agree more O.D. The Cricket has been dull as dish water this summer, no offence to the Australians but India wanted to go home very early (Tanking for what!!)

    Bring on the Sherrin...

    went to the T20 last night; as Marsh trudged off after his 2 ball duck my 7 year old leant over and said " dad...Marsh is in a world of pain" loved it, totally unprompted and on the money. He is like Chappell G without the superb career that had gone before.

    On that basis OD, I should be the second last person to be wishing my life away, but I'm with you 100% old fella! I think I even detect a hint of anticipation / excitement in your post about the coming season, which is great to see.

    Not sure if I mentioned Noble Game at 3.20 today, sunday, at Sale. Should go close to winning.

    Man of Awe at 1.35 Tuesday at Stawell. First start.

    Yes there is a little creeping in Deeoldfart.

    Usually starts around this time of the year.

    Based on past disasters I try and keep a lid on it

    By May I am usually well and truely depressed.

    Perhaps a change this year????

    He is lucky he does not come from Victoria or he would have been dropped a month ago.

    Then again if he was from NSW he would have another 3 months to go.

    Anyone notice the article in todays Hun about which team has the hardest draw?

    Well, guess what according to the Article the Dees have the easiest.

    It is based on which teams you play twice and travel.

    So we had better have a reasonable year.

    Considering the MFC travels more than any other victorian side..that article is a complete waste of time O.D. what a beat up/

    I am confident we have had this discussion before wyl.

    The travel thing IMO is grossly over played.

    WCE travel a lot more than other teams .

    When they have had good sides they win flags.

    When they have had not so good sides they do not.

    Just an excuse for poor results.

    End of the story for me.

    Possibly...but the MFC doesn't have the easiest draw in the season...that is a lie.

    i still expect finals this year.

    How do you come to that conclusion wyl?

    Seems to me we have one of the better ones.

    Not saying it is necessarily the easiest but looks fairly good to me.

    • 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.
