1. Move to Tassie

2. Get "Development Club" status

3. Draft priority

4. Tassie Demons Mini Draft

5. A few million from the AFL

6. Premiership Coach

Then we might make the finals in 2019

    But it won't be "us." It'll be some new club that I don't support.

    The solution..

    Start looking at pissing off Sylvia, Davey and any players on decent coin who aren't delivering - yes Jamar, that is you.

    Put that money towards enticing Rory Sloane home, put that money into trying to get Ollie Wines back home.

    Those are the types of players we need.

    Hard at it, mid field types like Jack Viney and Nathan Jones, we need a couple more of those for starters.

    That would help much more than some silly money ball plan that has us paying delisted spuds like Rodan, Brynes and Pederson that wouldn't get a game in mid gippy two's, let alone any other AFL football club.

    We have 6-7 players to build a club around.

    Viney, Howe, Grimes, Clark, Jones, Tommy Mac.. Maybe a couple others.

    We need to look very closely at how we are developing these players, because too many players look weak, get knocked off the ball too easily and look to lack pace off the mark - when we know they had it to start with.

    Drop Jamar, Sylvia, Watts, Gillies, Byrnes, Sellar, Nicholson replace them with Spencer, Jetta, Magner, Couch, Strauss, Kent, Tapscott all these guys will have a crack, play one on one no loose men and find out who can play and more importantly wants to play.

    Hard to disagree.

    One thing that concerns me about selection - Jetta not selected because "he needs to work on some things."

    Ludicrous when you look at who is selected.

    Posters like this are every bit as [censored] weak as the players and officials they bemoan, probably even more so.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
