It's appointments like these that should make those who've chucked in their hard earned to help this club feel good about their contribution. It is making a difference and that difference will be felt

I cant for a minute speak for him but judging by some of his recent commentary since departing I think hes got a genuine soft spot for us. ANd why not . We can all look back and wonder why some thing

Looks that way Belze. With Gazza in the driving seat whippin' the horses! And Neeld having just grabbed hold of some of the reigns as well yellin' "shove over bro". This might have been the year it

I don't know anything about the guy but from what all you guys are saying it sounds like a good get!

Where are all the Melbourne bashers who said we are too passive and are therefore weak and amateuristic ? How do you like them apples?

Looks like we are rebuilding this sinking ship after all. Very excited!

woweee, this time last week demon fans everywhere were devastated by the loss of $cully, how quickly a week changes things.

Since then a strong coach appointed and whilst letting everyone know Melbourne will be tough and hard to play against, he has shown he is not a man of words, but action signing Mission up within days. Neil Craig could be the cherry on top and things are looking up for the dees

Bring on 2012

It could depend what skills they were looking for Neil Craig to bring. If it was for his strength as a fitness/sport science expert then this may have negated the need to get him.

We may still want an experienced senior assistant for Neeld, but we may now want one with a different skill set...

This is great news and adresses a big issue we have had for a number of years. We need to keep our best 18 on the park. With young players you expect them to miss games but they are coming into 3-5 seasons their bodies should start to be able to cope with playing AFL footy. Like any club if you can go from using 38+ players in a season to around 30 you will have a good year.

Wouldn't say I am asexcited about next year as much as I am about 2013. This is a great get for the club which along with the natural development of players should see big benefits for our boys.

All the talk over here in WA when Ross Lyon came across was the hope he would be bringing David Mission over with him. They say a week is a long time in footy I like what Garry, Schwab, Mclardy and the board have done. Kept everything in house no leaks and would not comment on any of the coaching rumours, very professional and now we can see a lot was being done behind the scenes.

Forgotten all about the doom and gloom people were talking up when a former player followed the big schilachos on offer last week

2011 may well have been the kick in the guts we needed

More Excellent work by our CEO i am thinking.

Caroline Wilson, your articles about Cameron Schwabb over the last 12 months are starting to look very flimsy.

As was your Ridiculous editorial on Footy Classified last night.

You're right, it looks as though some of areas of weakness are starting to seriously be addressed..............wonder how Bails feels about this!

I cant for a minute speak for him but judging by some of his recent commentary since departing I think hes got a genuine soft spot for us. ANd why not .

We can all look back and wonder why some things werent done sooner and such but I think in his own way he'll wish us luck, as I do him.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

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
