Hi Guys, for my first ever post I will pass on some inside information. Chris Dawes has no long term medical issues. When injured, he is the most dedicated, determined and professional player in term

So many things I'm tempted to say here, but they've all been said before and it's really not productive. To me this deal would lower the overall mark I give the club for their trading efforts. I guess next year will tell me whether I'm right to think this way or not. Humbug.

Yea and you most likely same time last year said Clarke was an unproven hack up forward and we paid overs.....easy to pick holes from afar isn't it. Why don't we just see how this unfolds and at the very least we have a player who is an automatic walk in to our team. This gives us someone who even when playing poorly has a higher work rate than some of our mid field...it's the most positive off season we have had in years. People need to give their tortured souls a rest!

Why waste time being cynical...we have done that all season in fact many seasons!

Sit back and enjoy the fact we aren't losing games this time of year...

Did you think that about the Mitch Clark deal 12 months ago too?

Chin up mate, chances are we would have wasted the pick anyway......... haha

At least this way we're trying to win games next year............ it's more then likely we wouldn't win as many games in 2013 anyway - at least we are having a crack!!

Time will tell - for the record I am happy to bring Dawes in - lets hope its not a disaster!

We will now have a forward line that is going to finally create a headache for a lot of oppositions in much the same way that Buddy and Roughy were doing at Hawthorn. If things had gone differently, we might have had Jurrah and Clark (which we would have been happy with), but with that forward line we could never be sure to have them both on the park and Jurrah's brilliance only revealed itself occasionally.

If Pedersen comes in as well, how will oppositions manage to contain a line-up comprising the Towers of Power plus Byrnes, Howe, Sylvia and Blease?

Mark Neeld is going to win this club a flag.

Of that, I'm absolutely convinced.

Ron, we still need a midfield and we are about 5 blokes short ATM (a few who play and a few for depth).

FMD, but Neeld is decisive.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    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
