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.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
