MOBILE PHONE HACK REVEALS Text message from Paul Roos to John Longmuir during the half-time break of St.Kilda v Sydney - "Yeah, Longsy, we're rolling here, better knock St Kilda out for us"

A lot of the peanuts in the media have overlooked that 3 teams outside the 8 can still make it. Even Derwayne said the best we can finish this year is 9th about twenty times in last week's game. Cluel

Having watched that game, we should have a truly good chance of taking Geelong down again.

Their coach took 3/4 of the game to realise kicking long to a forward line of Hawkins and not much else wasn't working.

Bartel is picking up superannuation and simply shouldn't be on the field.

If it weren't for Dangerfield and Selwood, they would be bottom half of the ladder.

Would expect every MFC coach (especially Jennings) was watching and analysing that match on the off chance we beat Carlton next week and North lose to Sydney. Geelong aren't the invincible superheroes they think they are -- if Richmond can make them vulnerable, so can we.

But next week remains our hurdle. Too often we've lost the easy ones because we're focused on other things -- can't make that mistake this week. We have to treat every week as an elimination final now.

If we on Demonland were good sports we'd feel sorry for the Tigers.

If those at Tigerland were realistic folk then they would look at themselves and feel sorry for the sport!

Frighteningly BBO, I did. Although how much of it was anger at Geelong for winning I don't know. Maybe if a team becomes perennial losers we stop hating them? I know I don't hate Carlton as much as I did.

What?!?!?

Get a hold of yourself man.

Next thing you'll be feeling sorry for certain other Vic clubs currently down the wrong end of the ladder.

Just imagine the insufferable entitlement that will exude from them if they make their way back up the ladder. The attitude that they are in their rightful place and deserve to be looking down on the rest of us.

Feel better now?

    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

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
