I'll start this off, today, I would love to see us:

- Working for each other; one thing I've noticed this season is that players are not running hard enough to shepherd for their teammates, this must change.

- Take the game on, use the corridor. Dare i say it, I'd love to see an element of Bailey's game, where we play on at all costs and take risks.

- Move fast from the kick-ins, don't wait for Garland or someone to lumber back to take the kick-in, i want us to move it as fast as we can.

- Play the Jack Watts, Jeremy Howe swingset (one on the wing, one forward and rotating)

- Give Dawes and Fitz a chance, honour their leads, and trust that kicking to them whilst they are running at full-tilt is a better option then putting it on top of someone like Davey's head in a contested situation.

Most of all, I'd like to see us walking off the ground with our heads held high, knowing that we gave it our best shot.

......Oh, and this may be too much to ask, but I'd love to see no more 'Sack Neeld' threads for just one day. There's one with thousands of replies already, use that. Cheers

At all kick ins I'd get Dunn to torp it to the centre.

At least we might get a chance of kicking a sausage on the fast break.

Our kick ins are too slow and sloppy.

Worth a shot

I would like the umpire to act like a primary school teacher and make some of Hawthorn's players swap teams to make things more even.

Less than 100 point loss and no injuries to young players. Only realistic hope I have.

Not fussed about the scoreboard

AFL standard effort would be a pleasant change

I found it interesting that the Hawks coaching staff had more games accumulated at Melbourne than our entire list and coaching staff

There are actually 5 of them that have had a Demon connection

6 of their 9 coaching staff have been involved with demons - Clarkson, Beveridge, Fagan, Yze, Bruce and Ratten

The positive is if we get flogged and ends Neelds coaching career.

Lol there is one every week.

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
