I think I've heard this story before. Wasn't our day supposed to be coming about five years ago after we snapped up all those early draft picks around 2008/9?

Very good article. Conveniently written the week we're playing Port, the old pump up our tires and then watch us self deflate trick. Lets not fall for that and smash Port this weekend!

I know it may be hopeful but this is different.

This is the best list and most complete we have seen at the MFC for a long time.  

And it has a nice blend of grunt and class.

Good and incisive article (and it didn't even mention Crow-eater ANB, returning No. 2 pick Jack Trengove or Ben Kennedy)!

Cam Mooney had similar things to say yesterday on SEN. It's on the audio page of their website.

Yes list is not only much younger than circa 2010, but much higher proportion of first round draft picks, much better coached, and a much higher proportion of potential A grader. We have a number of players who will be in the top 25 AFL players in a year or two. We had none in 2010.

This is very different.

That one should be accessible if you can't get into to the Herald Sun article.

There is one big difference WJ then we picked poorly and the wrong types this time around the people doing the selecting know what the are doing.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    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
