Greater Western Sydney (a dynasty to rival the Hawks)

The Dees could have the so called dynasty under Northey and Balme,it all goes down to how the club is run and whether we choose the right sort of players. Under Neeld we thought we were getting something special instead we got a disaster,we picked up plenty of rejects as no one of quality wanted to play for us. Re-build times ……. blah blah.

Do I need to say more…………………………..

    This is straying off-topic, but do you think Sheedy would have taken the same "type" of players as we recruited under Bailey? Think about it.

    No he wouldn't. He was bitter and half senile but he wouldn't have cleared out all the experience. Dad's Army? Bailey wanted kids kids kids to the point where you wondered if he'd end up on a police watch list.

    I can't imagine Sheedy drafting small/skinny outside players like Morton, Blease, Strauss, Maric, Gysberts, Cook hell even Watts.

    Sheedy had nothing to do with who they drafted and didn't even know his own players...

    True story, when Phil Davis went up to talk to Sheedy at breakfast early in the piece he (Sheedy) was looking for a pen to sign him an autograph. Someone had to tell him Davis was his co captain, not a fan...

    That's hilarious.

    Happy for the dogies, just shows that a real team can beat a manufactured one, despite the level of manipulation on the part of the AFL.

    Hope we can play them for the flag next year, what a game that would be.

    I've heard from a current giants player that the cultute up there isn't very good, plenty of playing favourites going on

    The problem I've got is that the Giants will lose players that aren't getting a game and continue to bring more talent in through the draft. They will get picks for McCarthy, Stuart, Marchbank, Hoskin-Elliot etc etc. 

    Theyve just made a prelim final and over the past few years have lost Tyson, Hombsch, Frost, Treloar, O'Rourke, Boyd, Miles, McCarthy, four blokes to Carlton. 

    Where does it bloody end......

    Because they have had so many picks they can take a risk in the draft on a smokey like Lobb. Other clubs can't afford to do this.

    I hope your right in saying the cultures no good up there. When they eventually do bottom out and it will happen I hope their players look forward to playing infront of crowds of 5000 or less.

    • 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.
