Apparently Tex is going in for surgery...

Word has it they're scouting around for another half a brain !!

I think you have under estimated the size he currently has bb.

    Not to mention the humility gland

    Give him some slack he can see his team fall apart in front of his eyes, I see a great fall next year, betts is slowing down, they are going soft. He might have something to cry about next year when Sloane leaves as a free agent.

    converted wife into a demon when she was 15 and i was 17...21 years and three junior dees later and all i want now is some fricken success - and i'm talking hawthorn-like twenty year dynasty not some willy nilly one-off fluke premiership - to justify my selection...

    how about we 'settle' (and don'tcha just love that notion) with a fluke flag, and then four in a row two or three years later?

    I started following this mob in 1965.  I'll take any sort of flag at all;  it's the only thing left on my bucket list.

    Sorry you guys Tex is ok by me, and so is Lever obviously. I reckon Bernie would have thought so too, or else he wouldn't have invited him.

    He spat the dummy, who gives a sh##, although they were doomed by the crowd the maggots the media and the ground. If the game had perhaps been played in Adelaide it mightn't have been the same. 

    What do people expect him to say and do." I thought we played well but were beaten on the day, pip pip".

    The crows need to have a talk to tex because this is getting stupid. 

    The crows haven’t achieved anything yet and we are improving consistently every year and loaded with top end talent. If we don’t overtake the crows in 2018 we definitely will in 2019 

    jake will have just as much chance if a flag with us in the next three years as at the crows. 

    Tex has made himself look silly

    my favourite bit was when he talked about all the players crows have brought in from other clubs who basically form the nucleus of their side:
    - jenkins
    - lynch
    - betts (free agency acquisition, no less)
    - jacobs

    he forgot about seedsman, hampton, cheney and the retiring thompson too...

    it really was a 'we want to have our cake and eat it too' moment

    Shout out to the mod who added "Walker" after Tex to my post. I would hate that people thought I was talking about Tex Perkins.

    On top of aggressively chasing a contracted Bryce Gibbs, Steven Motlop and others. Tex has a loose grasp of reality. Especially considering he’s on a mint himself

    He is a SA they are half brains most of them, except Goodwin and any of them that support the MFC, he has made a mistake with watts he looked for a escape goat for not making finals, so why not do what most MFC people do and blame watts

    We're getting closer. This years 1st rounder and next years 1st rounder for Lever plus pick 18 which Adelaide get for Cameron. Seems like swapping of other picks as well.

    This will leave us without a 1st rounder next year, but picks 18 and 27 this year isn't too bad.

    so pick 18 for next year's pick 18 means we get jake for just pick 10......and get to use pick 18 a year earlier.....i like it

    That’s a very good deal if we can swing that.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
