Demonland

Recommended Posts

Any chance that the 26 players tested positive to illicit drugs by the Afl were all from the same team?....like us?

May 9th report website

CO-CAPTAIN Jack Trengove could miss the next two to three matches after injuring his calf at training on Thursday.

Perhaps was just resting, and disguised it as injury.

on a brighter note, happy for Magner to get a go.

Least you know he will give 100%, might inspire the others

Wouldn't it be logical to then say he only has a 1 week injury?

Injury list these days is as faux as the players playing in the same position as listed on the team line up

I have great hopes for Fitzy, but I believe their is no need to rush him.

Agree give him another 3 years..

After all it took Jamar 8 before he played a decent one.

Still waiting for Sylvia after 10yrs

Fans tend to get more frustrated when players are out longer than they are initially listed/expected to be. Injuries are not an exact science. People heal at different rates and under different circumstances.

Worst Melbourne team I've ever seen.

No... I've seen worse .... the time Glenn Giles got a game! and incidently Magner's pace is about the same!!

Not disputing his endeavour .. but skills average and who can forget him not making the distance for a deliberate shot on goal from 30 m out??

Toumpas IN?? on what Form??

Gee we are clutching at straws

That wasn't my point...I was responding to say that if he was only going to be out for 1 week to rest, why put 2 - 3 weeks on injury list.

Trengrove is the suprise selection. Quick recovery ?

I don't know why we're rushing him back, he's been out of form and frankly fitness.

Who gives a crap.

This season is over. The only thing left to do is count the thrashings until Neeld, his useless assistants and those who chose them, are gone.

I can't believe I feel this way, but I do. Never have I cared less about a game. Now with Viney out, there isn't even a glimpse of hope on display.

Just make it end.

With you making these comments speaks volumes, usually the voice of reason :-(

A week is a long time in football and there are always surprises. Lets hope there is something this week.

If we play three rucks we'll be going in rather tall. The gameplan will be to score the first point and then erect a human pyramid blocking the space between Richmond's behind posts for the duration of the game. Obviously the unrealistic part of this plan will be scoring the first point.

You know if we win, Richmond may go back to ninth.....

This would be the biggest upset in AFL/VFL history

I don't think I've agreed with Clint before but hell.

Sellar, Nicholson, Mckenzie say no more

I think the "counting on our ruckmen to stand the goal-line" part of the plan is also asking a little too much.

No, no. It's so one can permanently sit on Dawes's shoulders to mark all the passes that are a metre over his head. Great move!

Watched a different game to me Chook. Nicholson was awful, got beaten all day and continually looks lost. What did McKenzie do to earn the title of one of our best? I honestly don't remember him doing anything. He did lay 3 tackles, so by current standards that probably earns him a recall, but he's still utterly useless in attack.

McKenzie was one of our best until half time anyway. Playing as a defensive half forward he kept Harbrow to six touches until half time, he picked up 32 the week before. Not so good the second half when moved onto Ablett, but Dunn had already let him off the hook. McKenzie has his limitations, but at least he has a go.

Richmond have a permanent claim on ninth. It is the only honrable thing to assist them in regaining their rightful position though alas I don't think that we can help.

    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
