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.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
