Just remember, performance on the footy field is what really matters.

Exactly.

I couldn't give a flying f*#k who wins the any of the running trials.

Where was Morton? I thought the only thing he was good at was running?

Heard he was in the second or third group of runners in the first session also. Why is that?

Dave Misson is just what this club needs...You can tell he will demand respect and excellence. If he gets it those players will be successful.

Well done to Cam Schwab, Jimma & whoever else was involved in getting him to the MFC...

Frontrunners: Jones, Bail, Nicholson.

First one no surprise, second not really either, third is a bit though.

Not sure why you are surprised by Nicholson

He is fast normally and he is a rookie who is into his second year on the rookie list.

He will be looking to follow up his 2011 good showing with a better 2012.

It is 2012 or never for this guy.

Hope he makes it.

Probably did not take a holiday wants to impress the new coaches straight up.

They're flying ! I'm sure they miss Trengove.

Is Trengove's running ability up there with Jones? I'd be surprised if he made our top 5.

While you are 100% right HT about onfield performance that matters, Neeld certainly threw the callenge out there this morning when he indicated what times they should be striving for. He obviously thinks that there is a benchmark that most of our players have to achieve, so offield performance is pretty important at the moment.

I thought Nicho was one of our 2011 Highlights.....He will make it.

You are effusive in your faint praise...

Considering his sister is a complete running freak I'd be very surprised if he wasn't in our top 5, possible even #1.

Are you serious Harcourt?

Yeah why not? I can remember he was very highly rated from an endurance point of view during the draft. Surely some of his older sister's running ability has also been passed to him. There was a huge gap between the top three from what I could see so I would bet he'd be top 5 at the very least. We shall find out when he gets back from the Gold Coast next week.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
