hi Guys and Gals

Three things to mention to you.. some will apply to you all and some to just the Queensland residents so please take from it what you will.

1) Voting - As we have lost Chip ( big surprise there eh?) we have the first opportunities to secure our choice of one of the new boys to come to the club… this includes our father/son Billy Stretch, our draftees (TBA) and our players received in trading period/s.

As soon as the National draft and pre-season draft are over and our list is finalised, the sponsorship issue will come up again. I have been asked to send the club a list of five players in order of preference on who we want to sponsor next year. It is really only the new boys that we can choose from - all the current day players bar Fitzy have guernsey sponsors already. So I need from you, a list in order of the new guys coming, who you would like to sponsor from 1-5. 1 being your fave down to 5 and as soon as possible. If you want to choose one of the upcoming draftees just put pick 2 or pick 3 in your choices.

Once I have the votes all in i will count them and make a list of the top 5 to be sent to the club.. Apparently as there are a few that have lost their players from last year, we might pick the same as our first choice so we would go into a ballot for that player ..if we dont get him, we go to our next selection etc etc..


2) By now you will probably know that the AFL has forgotten Queensland exists as a venue for away games for the MFC and for the second year in a row we miss out getting a game up here. It sucks big time and I am extremely displeased but I will endeavour to get some Demon action for us. The boys are coming to the Sunshine Coast in January for a 10 day camp which will obviously include one weekend.. I am going to find out just when and where they will be training and then suggest we make a group trip north to check them out. A weekend on Sunny Coast, perhaps bunking down in a caravan park or motels nearby and enjoy a bit of sun, fun, beach and Demon.

More details to come when i get info but would love to know if you are interested in a weekend trip?


3) Queensland Demons Xmas Lunch - Sunday 14th December Shearers Arms Hotel ( Peachey Rd Ormeau) 12 noon onwards. No charge, just come along, buy your lunch and drinks and enjoy meeting a few fellow Demons along the way. This is a regular event now and we want as many as possible. You will need to RSVP for table numbers by 5th December please.


Ok Thats all.. Hope to hear from you all soon..

Go Dees

3. Put me down for 3 for the Xmas dinner - maybe more.

Check your emails Deb.

Second year in a row there is no Brisbane game and no QLD game at all.

Sad state of affairs.

The only redeeming feature is that it forces me south to watch a couple of games other than QB.

The sad part for me is I lose the excuse to spend the weekend in Bris with my Brother.

If he a fellow Demon ?

Yeah, no Qld game for us makes it hard to catch up - just have to be the Labrador Grand again I guess Graeme.

The 2 NT games are a factor in the lack of Brisbane/Sydney games.

I'd love a Queensland game to fit in with a trip north to visit 2 ancient aunts and cousins numerous.

I wonder how many Demon supporters are the product of a Gregory Terrace/All Hallows union!

Any time Ray.

I have a time share two minutes walk from there.

Great spot.

I am envious!

Unfortunately no, was never a Dees supporter.

A bloody Lion supporter, went up there ten years ago ( approx. ) and jumped on when the amalgamated with the Roys.

You mean he has to suffer all those uneducated Lion supporters ? Poor chap, no disrespect.

We may need to have an ale at the Gabba/Metricon in 2016.

The AFL can't rape us 3 years in a row.

I would not put money on that one!

Any time Ray.

Im away working ATM - but kept an eye on the cricket. Did you see Younis's efforts. Went for 46 in final dig - pretty good after peeling off twin centuries than a double. Equalled Sir Len H they say.

Outstanding batting from Shehzad, Ali, Misbah and Khan although our attack was pedestrian.

I'll be at the Gabba for India on days 2 & 3.

  • 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.

    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?
