David Neitz should be there, he is a great Demon. Record games, record goals, record games as captain. Not only that he passed up on a final year career ending injury payment of well in excess of $100,000 because he knew the club couldn't afford it. Well ahead of Garry Lyon in terms of a great club man.

FWIW I agree the focus should be on our future. For young supporters Smith, Barassi and the like are just names from our past who hold no real connection to the present. If they are going to be noted surely we should have Tom Wills, perhaps our most famous identity.

Agree that Neitz probably deserves a place more than Lyon, but who/what would you suggest to represent the future?

The future as far as the current playing group is concerned, is unknown... but by acknowledging our past, the future can only get better. Perhaps the images in the banner can be hyperlinked to wiki articles relating to each player, so that those young supporters you speak of, can be educated in the history of the club?

Oh and Rhino... is it possible for you to invoke your Moderator powers for good, and ban/obliterate the two accounts posting spam in the General Discussion forum?

Hey PuntKick, I know it was hotter than hell here in NSW yesterday, so should I consider the above heat affected, or were you actually trying to say something? ;-)

Could have been a " Tony Tea Classic After Grog " blog !!!

Todays temp back to 25.Alls cool again.Hope the Elwood canal didn't boil !

When it gets hot up here again, if your'e in the country I'll come down @ meet you in your fave watering hole at the Elsternwick hotel.

Then we could stagger over to ABV 2 where my old man used to work @ we could we could remminisse.

Might even bump into the ghost of Corinne Kirby !?

Sorry I should clarify. Higher resolution shot of Robbie. That one is a little blurry, looks like it came from a newspaper. Finding higher resolution shots of him has proved difficult :(

I couldn't get the images to load onto demonland.

maybe someone with IT skills could do something?

    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
