I find it hard to reply to people that are dishonest , you've had a dozen different accounts if you get banned from a forum you should just read it after that but instead you wait 6 weeks and come up with another ridiculous name, as far as I'm concerned Thats dishonest so don't reply to me.

Haha dishonest?

You like to make stupid accusations, but back it up with nought.

And every time one of your hindsight-laden revisions is called for what it is, you resort to weak excuses and run from accountability.

You can put me on ignore if you like, but I'll reply to who I want.

 

Oh no! We're taking it easy with players that have had interrupted preseasons so that we can get the best value out of them for the H&A. What the hell is the club thinking?

I think everyone understands why this is happening. It is only disappointment in not seeing a good side on the park in our first game of a new season, even though it is a NAB challenge game.

 

Can we make this purely a training report thread and not a chest beating and d!ck measuring thread... Every thread one persons opinion is roared down by another know it all demonlander... It is pathetic.

Often because (and we've all done it) training reports can be loaded with a persons crude assessment of a player instead of just descriptions of what they are seeing. From then on debate starts and its ok for a while but does get out of hand. As of Friday we will at least get games and stats to analyse instead of random observations.


So very true though sue, Debt Demolition was the worst thing to ever happen to this club, it sucked people in to believing the club was headed in the right direction when all it did was give certain people a bit longer to sit in a position that they wernt worthy of, people like yourself thinking the Debts paid Cameron and he's puppets are doing a great job, I'm starting to think it was the worst thing to ever happen to this club because in anything in life you need a plan b , not a red and blue print that was as real as our next major Chinese sponsor , people like you are concerned about chips contract when guys like Clark earning double the amount think about it , CS decisions have very very long ramifications .

Sigh... some of us are working on the present and future. We all feel a little bitter about the gross waste of time, money and inspiration that occurred through the previous administration.

But there's a difference between that and "Mitch Clark injured his foot = Cameron Schwab's ruining us".

Also, Frawley's decision will hinge as much on success as on money, I'm sure of that. We have vast piles of salary cap room anyway, so the amount we are paying both Clark and Dawes is not really going to be a factor in Frawley's decision. What will be a factor, as stated by him, quite clearly, is whether the club is looking like making real progress and becoming a proper professional team with real prospects.

Both Clark and Dawes can have a major hand in that - both are exceptionally professional presences and both capable of filling absolutely essential on-field roles.

Let's say both are fit by round 3, they may well define our season.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
