Stoked about the pick ups in the draft

should have taken a gamble on garlett tho

Anyone agree?

 

Putting aside the ridiculous tanking allegations, we've had a fantastic couple of months with regards to our recruiting .

Is it true that Hogan will be playing at Casey next season ? If so , he gets the chance to play against men for a full year (which can only be good for his development)

We will be fit and raring to go .

Sure is :) we have been given permission to play him in the VFL next season. Neeld has already said he won't play every game but he will be playing. It will give him a good headstart on the other recruits picked up next season :)

I'm picturing a whole heap of Demon fans at Casey games walking from one end of the ground to the other after each quarter (John Coleman style!) . That's if he plays deep forward of course .

It's kinda like fast tracking the bloke in many ways . If he was at draft age this year he may well have played a decent amount of 2nd eighteen footy anyway . All good .

Having tried to start a thread just for the pessimists, only to have it closed by the thought police, I'll put this back on the agenda. Why is it that some folk find it so hard to resist the temptation to indulge their pessimism at every opportunity? I find the constant sniping at players, coaches, recruiters and administrators really tedious. Yes it's okay to have an opinion but surely there must be some sunshine somewhere.

Good for you Crawf.....I too hate the sniping of our players and the club.....They are OUR players and OUR club....

And ushering a particular school of thought into one thread isn't 'policing' it? :unsure:

Forgive those who aren't wtting their pants with excitement after a run of 90 losses in 120 games.

It was closed crawf52 as a preventative measure against flaming. No hard feelings.

You should find solace and sunshine here in the Optimists thread. Understand the frustration and you've always got the option of the ignore function if need be.

The thing in common with all is the best interests of the Melbourne Football Club, just that fans/members/posters have different views on how to get *there.

*And "there" may be represented by different objectives or methods. Hell, there might even be a different goal for some supporters..


Maybe we should start a thread for the realists, would it be lonely?

I have already erased 2009 - 2012 from my memory.

I can't wait to see Dawes, Clarke, Peds, Sylvia and Howe tear it up down there this year - Bring on 2013!!!

What is 'flaming'? You might need to explain.

I understand what you're saying HT but I'm not sure I agree with the "best interests" assertion. Some of this stuff is just terminally negative with never a constructive comment. I'd be happy to hear these opinions if there was a solution and an answer as to the how to get "there" part of it. It just doesn't seem to appear.

Ah well, as you say, there's always the ignore button. I just can't bring myself to over-ride their right to have their say. My thread was intended to be humorous more than inflammatory.

I have no power to 'police' anything. I started a facetious thread to satisfy my own sense of humour. Nothing more. I'm not sure how this is "ushering a particular school of thought". It's just me exercising my right to air an opinion.

Nobody says you should be "wetting your pants". I'm simply suggesting that some of us on here seem to be so anti MFC it's hard to reconcile their comments as coming from supporters.

Ahh so it was a joke thread. Cool. I thought for a moment you were serious about wanting to isolate posters with a different opinion to yours.

It's back. The thread for all of us who just can't be bothered with the hand wringers and permanently pessimistic.

The past months should have taught us all that without hope and optimism there is no tomorrow.

The new dawn is upon us.

Go DEES!

I've backed the dees to make the 8

And how about Chunk for the Charlie, Watts for the Bluey, and Howe to kick 50 goals.

You're being unrealistic

So? It is a thread for optimists, not realists .. .

Add in Byrnes, Watts, McDonald and the two Jones boys and I see us making the eight in 2013 unless unscheduled injuries intervene!

Good for you Cawf.....I am a pesimist by nature.........but I love this thread....

Okay. The shite is over. Today marks the last time we will be anybody's patsy. From today we have the opportunity to begin a new era of greatness. Let's stand united and support the 2013 Dees.

Go DEES!

 

Frankly, this thread used to give me indigestion.

Now, it's like a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.

Thanks Rev, all power to your arm.

This time tomorrow I'll be heading to Etihad to see the beloved DEES show their new stuff. I'm optimistic that we'll be pleasantly surprised.

I'm hopeful that a lot of us will be there to witness the rebirth of the mighty DEES. Get on down boys and girls and show everybody we're proud, passionate and paid up... Has that one been used before?

How about Deecided, Deetermined and deemonic in our deesire to deefeat the opposition.

Go DEES!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
