Please stop.

Stop what? Presenting stories about the Dees for discussion on a Demons discussion website?

Also says that Joel Selwood as Captain of the cats would not have allowed that camp to be cancelled. Extrapolate from that what you like.

When this story first appeared many said it was a flash in the pan.

At present it remains the biggest story of the 2018 season and it isn't going anywhere until we win 5 or 6 straight or some other fiasco comes along

Carey is pretty tight with J Hogan, I hope he hasn't got mail from him, it's quite possible it's true we are not united. 

Anyway,  I was getting tired of all the tyre pumping going round the media,  a little more negative commentary just might unite them ironically.

I made a separate thread for this to highlight the lazy journalism here. Carey uses this as the sole reason we'll lose rather than actually analyse the teams and the game.

Carey doesn’t go quite as hard as the headline suggests, but there’s some validity in what he says.  

He’s essentially saying what most of us are saying, and that is until we start winning, people are going to be bring up the camp.

See my post above. I thought it warranted it. I could be wrong.

No we don't. 

Unfortunately, due to the nature of the media and social media, it will continue to happen. Any mug can put anything out there, and there will be a reaction. A bit like this site and indeed this thread. 

Everyone has an opinion or thinks they are entitled to express it, even though the person may be ignorant, lacks knowledge or is plain wrong. That's virtually the entire footy media mob. 

As for Wayne Carey, please......

Agree. Let the media call us wimps and see if we answer as a united team on the ground.

Dees not united, is that right Wayne?

Wait, are you the guy that slept with his best mate's missus and had to quit his club?

But the Roos were united, in their anger at Wayne.

When this season starts and continues week by week to its ultimate end - where the Demons are in the top one quarter of the premiership ladder - prior to the finals, of course, we will have to count all of the media's naysayers who got it so terribly wrong at this pre-season time of the year.

Carey, his mate, Robbo, and many others will be singing from a different song sheet by that time and still expecting the general public to recognise their 'insight' and 'sophisticated declarations' ... and their inherent right to sit on the bandwagon as far as the Demons are concerned.

It is thought that these actions of his were representative of his poor and vainly limited understanding of the meaning of 'united'.

More 'journalism' clickbait

"Look at me! Look at me!"

There's more to it than just clickbait. Carey's statement is not even clickbait as it's in a 15 minute video where only a tiny portion is about the Dees game. I find his total lack of analysis of the game and his tip boiling down to an article he read in the paper about an event that he probably doesn't have all the facts about to be the problem here.

Is that something you know, or are you speculating?

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
