The Demons' good publicity wagon keeps rolling on... Neitz and Melbourne look to fire up in 2007.

Great story about the skipper as he nears his 3ooth game.

Yes, I'm fully aware that good PR doesn't necessarily translate into premierships but there's been a good feel about almost everything that's been aired or published in the media during the pre-season. Lots of positive articles about the stability and strenght of the club, its leadership and the players and we seem to be gaining the respect of the football world. No political scraps, few injuries, no discontented players or supporters. I hope the good news keeps coming when we start playing real games.

    After looking at the article picture for the 1st time with the guy on the left in a yellow suit then the 4 on the right with a standed firemans jacket i thaught oh it's nieta and the vice captains in that order (which would have ade sence) and being a bit blurry it even looked a bit that way. Not until i had read the caption did I realise it was Brock in the yellow suit and the rest of the leadership group... maybe the age is getting a bit ahread of it's self... where was it writen Nieta said ""Two years. I said last year I'd have two more and that would be it, so I'm sticking with that again this year," he said. "I might still be saying that when I'm 40.""? oh thats right the same article... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Great story about the goals Neitz and the team have for the coming year

    Although we are get exposure to the public, which is good for our profile, I hope that will all the expectation does not come back and bite us, and we play badly this year. But its highly unlikely.

    Bring on season 2007 now, cant wait for it to start :)

    Yes lot's of positive media at this time of year (for all clubs except Carlton) but I think we're pushing the Bohdan Bab?????? line a bit too much. Granted we need to be fitter than we have in the past but if I read another MFC article talking about his training regime! Thankfully this one didn't mention it.

    I'm going into the 07 season with NO expectations as I have been gutted in the past. I reckon they will finish the year 5th...some room if they do well...some more room if they blunder!

    Has anyone mentioned Aaron Davey signing on for another three years?

    That's really the type of news I want to read about the club and not another puff piece about how one of our players is training the house down, having the best preseason yet and looking like an Adonis.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
