Believe it or not but I had Collingwood as a second team back in the mid seventies. Under Tom Hafey they played a good game of football.

Don't worry I saw the light in 1988 when abused by a little old lady magpie supporter for cheering a Melbourne win.

Since then GWS has been my second team. For a while they were like a fantasy football league

    He signs his name with #34, that says to me he's coming our way. I'm more confident now than I was last year.

    Yep 

     

    He’ll be a Dee barring some late winds change — ie upheaval or sudden major decline that looks unrecoverable.. but can’t see that as even IF absolute worst happened & we lost Trac, Clarry, Max next year and even Kos, I honestly blv the haul we’d gain in conjunction with our young talent means it’d be a 2-4yr skid at most! But my current feeling is that this group now is closest thing we’ve had talent and fitness wise to our 2021 group, line by line, 90% doing 90% of pre season etc so of course that can all change but KW a demon is about $1.27 for mine 😉

    It's triggering my cost of living angst.

    Call me paranoid, but I fear the AFL will pull some sort of swiftly on us, again. 
    Q: is it paranoid when you know actually and truthfully they are out to get you?

    I am confident he will end up with us. However, he is a young and skinny,  and I really don't see him being a good AFL player until about 2028  - he will need to fill out, and learn the senior game. This is absolutely not a knock on him, but you can't be a ruckman or a key position player until you have some weight and strength.

    If he does, we’ve hit the jackpot. Sam Darcy will be the best player in the game within the next 2 years. He also progressed extremely quickly for a tall.

    Perhaps you may need some sort of counselling. It couldn’t happen again. Look at it from a half glass full not empty. 

    It was a dreadful act by the AFL and some compensation should have come our way.

    Counseling  for paranoia never helps, because the counselors are really part of the plot and are out to get you 🙄

    Sam Darcy was drafted in 2021, he only just started coming on last season so it's taken him a few years to get to the level.

    Still feel we needed to draft or trade in a ruckman in the 22-26 age bracket ready to take over from Max in a couple years, even if we get this kid it's ganna take time

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
