Now that Tom has gone, (yawn) compensation picks announced, all players signed, the initial press feast on our admin has passed I am confident that there will be a good spirit in the club and player group (Tom was probably more disruptive than we think - not necessarily intentional). I'm looking forward to a Harry Kewell style of arrival for our new coach - whoever - and rekindle the passion that was building two years ago. We've got the main ingredient, a great group of players. I challenge all demonlanders to get off the critical band wagon, get behind all of our players, whether you like some or not. We can contribute to our club spirit along with the many other contributers.

No team or club is perfect, but believe even the demon weak links are better than the opposition - Regroup!! The cup is in our hands, however you look at it...

Looking back. It was about the time the Scully controversy became a weekly issue that the team began to look less promising this year. Look at the first half of our season. Save a couple of games there were some very promising signs. The Sydney and Essendon games showed the team at their most competitive. The Gold Coast and Adelaide games were dominations which showed the kind of talent the young team had in them. Hell even the loss to StKilda wasn't without merit. But when people started to bring up Scully speculation every week it might just have been the catalyst that led to what we would all agree as a very disappointing season. Maybe I'm just making links where there are none but I believe we'll be seeing a far more focused side next year.

Great post H. It's an important time for us all to have that attitude. I'll be doing the Christmas shopping over the next week or so ...... 2012 memberships for the whole family (as usual). They never end up with a 'surprise' under the Christmas tree, but I know the memberships are valued above anything else I could give.

AdamFarr how old are you I have not heard that cry in a very long time?

Bought a smile to my dial.

Old dee did you notice on one of last weeks finals the umpires has the temerity to wear all red socks.

Made we want to spew

I was wondering if we could sue the AFL for 'cruel and unusual' treatment and bringing the game into greater disrepute

Very much below the belt, associating maggots with the mighty redlegs.

Yes I did DC.

I wondered at the time that I did not think I had seen umpires in red socks before.

However they have been copying us for a couple of years now.

Just wish they would not do it on the same night we are playing like in 2010.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
