Just on a further note, I know it was a given but I'm seriously glad the most important part of the ground, the midfield, is now coached by one of the best development assistant coaches in the game. Could not be more stoked and for an October this is going seriously well.

Exciting times indeed.

The midfield will be unrecognisable next year. Both in personnel and playing style.

Go Demons.

This isn't all it seems. He is one of the absolute top individual development coaches, specifically around skills. He had Kennelly living with him when he first went to the Swans and drilled him non stop for a couple of years and we all know the result. I would say this is his greatest skill. He hasn't done any game day coaching for over 10 yrs and even before that did more analysis work than actual coaching. What's happened here is that the plan was to have Dew doing this coaching role and Stone was going to probably head up development with his peerless skills development. Because Dew has fallen through they have thrust him into a game day role because he worked so closely with Roos in the past but not as a game day coach. Not sure this is as great a result as it sounds. He's been a long, long, time out of this level of the game and the midfield is where most of the strategic changes have been happening. This clearly indicates the succession plan is dead for the first year of Roosy's reign. I assume this means Roosy must already be looking to a 3yr stint not 2 anymore. Maybe with a great year of improvement next year he might get his appetite back and it will turn into 5yrs and another exclamation on top of the Premiership dias. "HERE IT IS!!!!"

It looks a great cv - really looking forward to seeing what he can do with what has been the worst performing midfield in living memory.

IF he can get it up and running he is a bloody genius (as is whoever recruited him).

Welcome.

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.
