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. 

Correct.

A case of run with the hares and hunt with the hounds.

Carey knew how to unite a team. Shaggging your vice captain's missus at a social function is a sure fire way to bring everyone together....

Carey is a [censored], not a united team? He would know all about being involved in a united team, kangaroos were so united when he was captain he thought you could share partners, I could handle this criticism if it was someone else but when Carey comes up with this tripe it just screams hypocrisy

You can't make sweeping statements like "they are not united therefore they will lose" if you have not done the research, spoken to people involved, gone to training sessions, watched the preseason games.

Drawing a rather long bow for anyone to suggest that because Jesse spoke to Carey about his body language issues at some stage that he has current knowledge of the unity or otherwise of the inner sanctum of the MFC playing group.

NB: I know that you are not.

That was the point of my earlier question. It was well publicised that Hoges and Goody had a meal with Carey, as per Andy’s links. I was wondering whether there was anything beyond that to justify a “Carey is pretty tight with J Hogan” claim, on which to base a query about whether Carey got some possible “good oil” about the vibe at MFC.

It would seem not.

An enormously long bow.

Carey offers next to no value as an on-field or off-field commentator. The fact he's jumped on this bandwagon comes as no surprise.

[censored] off Carey, coming from a bloke who shagged his best mate & Vice captain of the footy club in the Dunny at his other best mate home

Public knowledge,  Carey has spoken about them catching up regularly before on live TV , Talking Footy 

Even if Hogan and Carey were BFFs catching up for regular coffees (which I doubt), is Hogan really going to confide in Carey, a media analyst, about the inner workings of the club? It seems far more likely their conversations revolve around his set shot routine and how life is going in general.

I'd venture a guess that Carey has no idea how united or otherwise the Melbourne side is. None.

We performed well in the JLT.    I see no signs of division at all and I am as pessimistic as most of us when it comes to the MFC.

THIS. - Wayne's role in the media is to sensationalise, or infer stuff that can become sensational. The evidence of course is contrary and people write narratives post hoc.

I remember when Collingwood were in their premiership year and they were amazing leaders because they could have tough finger pointy conversations on the field - and by correlation that they were winning, it was demonstrating that those tough convo's on the field were the CAUSATION of their success.... and THEN ...when they were loosing those same tough finger pointy conversations - were ALSO the cause of their failure!

Melbourne will be fine...with rifts, and without rifts...

When the dogs did this camp 13 years ago they did it once, players almost left mid camp, the club decided it had no real value because they never did it again.

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?

well he certainly was "united" with mrs stevens

These trollops in the media I think are starting to do us a favour. Careys comments are beyond a joke.

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

Fair call. Although I'm pretty sure I made it clear that I don't. Still this site will always present stories and issues about the Dees in the media and other places for discussion by Dees fans. No one is forcing anyone to open or read a topic.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
