To all those who wanted spargo rested, a pox on your house.

To all those who didn't want Melksham 2 years ago, a pox on your house.

To all those who thinks Oscar should be in the twos, a pox on your house.

To all those who thinks ANB wasn't worth being in the firsts, a pox on your house.

To all those who believe this club was no good, A POX ON YOUR HOUSE.

GO DEES

 

Compare the pair. We know plus or minus a player or two who will be in our 2018 Preliminary Final Team. Here's the team from 30 years ago including a number of stars but also some players I don't even remember (Bret Bailey?). I think the 2018 team would have the 1988 team covered (which is a huge compliment to John Northey for getting them into the GF).

Good news is you can only get pox once.

What's a pox?


Word on Perth radio is that Lycett might not get up. Couldn't participate in their main session on the weekend.

 Could be mind games to mess with our defensive set up too

That would be massive. We need every advantage we can get.

I think it’s something you get when you’ve been near a Collingwood supporter...

Nah, we're better on paper... just need fair umpiring.

The 87 team made a prelim and followed it up with a GF appearance in 88 so they weren't too bad.

A few similarities in the sense that both teams didn't have the greatest of home and way seasons. In '88 we started like a house on fire as I recall then had a mid season slump... (won 7 out of the first 8 and then 6 out of the next 14).

Northey was on the radio the other day and like many here say the 1990 premiership was ours to win.

Wow, that team was so inexperienced.  The average games played would lucky to be over 50.

The only change I would be tempted to make would be

Out: Tyson

In: Hunt

West coast have two very quick small forwards. The length of the ground and the ability to switch with pace. Hunt looked ok for Casey in conditions that were terrible. I would take a risk. 

SEN reported Max trained indoors today ?

...Club said he will be going to Perth with the team...

tempted for J Smith for Tyson but gotta keep the team feel running

 

Smith is a part of the year's successes - therefore, a team member with a full deck of cards. He is more potent than Tyson. Therefore, Smith in, Tyson issued a ticket to spectate.

you'd pick a guy who's been out of form all year and was just 'ok' in the vfl? bit late in year to speculate

#nochangedees

Gaff, NicNac and Sheppard out is pretty handy

You mean like with Goldsack.


No change. Stability is great this time of the season. In 2005 Sydney didn't have a change for about 10 weeks.

ie he will be playing Saturday

no goldsack wasn't out of form, just out of game time like jack viney. goldsack is more of an experienced known quantity too

having said that, goldsack was still a risk. hunt would be a bigger risk (and i'm a hunt fan)

Humour meter off?

Edited by Redleg

Its not the right thread but Im so caught up in the euphoria of success at the minute I ju st wanted to give a shout out to Viney. Hasnt played for half a season and plays wonderfully.

As far as changes maybe Vince for Tyson but I dont think it will happen.

Go you good demons.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • 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?
