Growing the Dees from the inside out.

We all know we have to change the clubs culture to a FireBrand.

We all know we have to get the Mids to be better and Win the clearences.

So we have to all pull together and clingon for the hard yards needed, to get this ship moving out of the Dock.

The engineroom needs an overhaul & a cleanup/out.

Neelds the Captain & Diesel mechanic, & he has the blue prints.

Yes dee-luded. I closed my eyes this morning, drew a long deep breath..........relaxed, and with that, accepted where we're at. "Whatever it takes" is our mantra, we will stay the course.

As supporters we're the lucky ones, all we have to do is support, the Club though, has a monumental amount of work needed for success and we need to support that effort.

We will stay the course.

This is how bad things are right now- I would have scoffed at Morton and Bennell being suggested as changes. Now I'm like whateves- ring in the changes, it can't get much worse can it?

sometimes changes are whats needed to make these boys realise they are in fact competing with one another for the spots.

Change Davey Out for a Bennell or Strauss.

Green to the Interchange/Sub: spot... shot over the Bow of HMAS Green.

Blease out for a strong body please. Let Bail, & Bennell or Strauss provide some run.

Gee dee-luded two of that three are great options

Bennell is as bad as Blease and Strauss is still coming back from a terrible broken leg.

Swapping Bennell for blease is shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic

I think Bennell plays Subico well so I'd include him.

(Yep, clutching at straws)

Your right, exactly, but only because their learning. and Bennell has to learn to put his head over the ball.

But the Worst thing that can happen is that Blease also learns the half hearted ways,

So my post is to use the selection table to frequently make changes the Very second someone takes a short step, or fails to put their body inline with the ball or player.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
