My first post so here goes. Paid up member and long time fanatical supporter.

Like all I am gutted and want the truth whatever that may be. In the interests of the bigger picture here, the members are owed the truth, the club, board, coaches and players can no longer hide. It's gone we'll past the point of further cover up. Time to bare it all and start again.

I implore those at the heart of this to clean the slate and stop hiding behind the club. You will be found out..so step out from behind the shadows and do something about it.

Someone surely has the guts to do this.

    Welcome to DL mate. Sadly people have said this time and time again and yet 6 years on we still wait.

    I would not expect anything anytime soon. If even CW and Sheahan cannot grind out what is under the covers then we wont know for a while.

    I hate to say it but I am not blaming the media for half the crap they spat out last year. I feel that they may have been going easy...

    You want the truth..


    Listen to Wayne Carey.... They look like footballers, they even talk like footballers.

    But they sure as hell don't play like footballers.

    Unfortunately we all support a bunch of women.

    Jack Viney comes in and the onus is on him to even speak to these little sooks.

    Viney don't care about nothing, that kid took a shot off Wojo, brushed it off like it aint no thing.

    We need go-getters at this club, someone tell the board that.

    WE DO NOT NEED CLASSY SKIRTSMEN, we won't even be a club by the time they come good.

    I would like to see Neita and other strong past heroes front up and demand to get involved to help out. I don't see or hear them.

    Alot of them have ft jobs or other lives they are living now. If one of your past workplaces was going to [censored] I highly doubt you would walk away from what you are doing and rock up demanding to be involved.

    Whose their now need to fix things, not past employees.

    He presented the new players' jumpers before the game. It's not much, but it's more than most have done.

    I have never really understood the desire to call out every former 'great' of the club to come down and save us, Lyon, Schwarz, Neitz etc. We need changes at the very top, not ex-footballers with little to no business nouse. And even if they were to help out in the football department, none of them have any coaching experience. The most they could do is the odd chat to the boys about what the club means, which all of them already do anyway. We need good, no great, business people that none of us have probably ever heard of to come in and get this ship back on course, not some bloke just because he used to take a good grab and kick a few goals.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
