I thought last trade period that Stevens was categorically out of bounds despite their willingness to trade anyone else (ie McEnvoy).

he probably was,buuuut they had a loose cannon as a coach and he wanted trade day to be his opus.

wouldve given them keys to the safe for jack steven..

We have a superstar and his name is Lynden Dunn. We need to sign him ASAP before other clubs get in this mans ear. He is UFA.

He isn't a free agent at the end of the year

Toumpas, Tyson, Hogan and Viney.

Yes we lack a superstar, but I would rather see a team orientated game plan executed to perfection first and witness stars evolve from that.

Hawthorn and WCE are two fine examples at the moment. They have an array of quality players but their team orientated brand of footy is their highlight.

With regards to Hawthorn yes we can list off Hodge and Mitchell but they are certainly not in their prime, Roughead is also a beut but they clearly state they don't want to focus on one target to try and make their team less predictable and harder to shut down.

It's the bill and teds excellent adventure conundrum isn't it.

Bill: Ted, while I agree that, in time, our band will be most triumphant, the truth is, Wyld Stallyns will never be a super-band until we get Eddie Van Halen on guitar.

Ted: Yes, Bill, but.... I do not believe we will get Eddie Van Halen before we have a triumphant video.

Bill: Ted, it's pointless to have a triumphant video before we have decent instruments.

Ted: Well, how can we have decent instruments if we don't really even know how to play?

Bill: That is why we need Eddie Van Halen!

Ted: And that is why we need a triumphant video!

Both: [think for a second] EXCELLENT! (guitar riff)

In order to stop the Heinous rot of the past we need to learn to be totally Excellent to each other on field in order to be... triumphant... in the future!

This would include no more bogus delivery to the forward line that way.....we can.... party on....dude!

Yes he is and he is one of our best. We need to sign him ASAP.

I agree, Dunny was in the top 2 or 3 on the weekend and is a key player in the backline. I now Frawley is an all Australian but Dunn is equally important, some of his delivery during the switch was outstanding we just found it hard to capitalise. We cant afford to loose either Dunn, Frawley, Garland or T-Mac. That is a defence that could take us to finals.

We dont currently have superstar, the closest is Jonesy wo is probably tapping on the door. I think Clark could have been but I doubt we will see him again. Hogan and Howe have potential and who knows about Salem and JKH. I thought Watts game on the weekend was excellent so who knows we may get some return out of him.

Very sad state of affairs.

I think our first task is to get rid of sub standard players, adopt the Roos recruiting philosophy of adding a few more good hard players, by trading an early pick for a lower pick and a player for example and starting to climb up the ladder.

When we start that climb and show we are on the move, then we can go after a star player or two.

You have my vote Redleg.

Not sure how I am going to fill in this winter waiting for the changes for 2015

lol reminds me of bill and ted's excellent adventure.

To be a most excellent famous band, do we first need eddie van halen to join the band and help us a make a triumphant music video? or do we need a most triumphant music video to get eddie van halen to want to join the band?

dude i think we need to learn how to play instruments first...

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    Captain Max Gawn has a considerable lead over the injured reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Jack Viney & Alex Neal-Bullen, make up the Top 5. Your votes for the win against the Eagles. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
