    Not if we throw Marty Hore on him. Perfect matchup!

    why is that @John Demonic?

    How is Hooker right to play after being predicted to miss the first four games of the season? Must have some healing vitamins on hand down at Essendon. Oh, what?

    So, here we are two weeks into the new season without a win and there are a number on this site that are calling it 'season over' already.

    I am not one of them.

    The list we have is the same one that played good footy last year so they know how to do it. we have had a shorter preseason than in recent years and we had a large number of players that went under the knife to fix niggles. All have added up to a slow start to the season. Week 1 we were as bad as we could be. Last week I saw and overall improvement in the general play with the highlighting of structural problems in our forward 50. 

    This week I think we will see another step up in overall quality of play and we will win a tight one to be 2-1 after the first three rounds.

    We could use Jeffy.

    We can use him for two good reasons in my view

    One ...on his day is incredibly talented and hits the scoreboard.

    Two ..  He tends to play his own game. For mine that's a plus as currently 'our game' is putrid.

    Go Jeffy.

    Hore / Frost  Friday  night. ?  A bit unlikely. Too warm for that.

    In all seriousness, that should be an unbelievable show @Gorgoroth.  I wanted to get tickets but a close mate's 30th got the nod.  Disappointed, but I'll listen to the album over the weekend instead.

    Because the other 17 clubs have improved more than we have?

    Also will be seeing them in August at Brutal Assault, I’m pumped for it.

    Didn't see changes v Essendon draft. I watched the Woods v Tigers, their two talls Mason and Grundy did well. On that base Preuss is a must. Petty could replace Frost or O.Mac however O.Mac could go forward. ANB ,Jones and possibly Petracca ( as awake up call ) could be dropped. Baker and Hore could get another go. Not sure if Viney is fit enough.

    The only thing to be decided on Friday night is the size of the loss. Reminds me of the Neeld days. No key forwards, poor delivery to those who are there. The key to our dreadful start in 2019. How on earth has this club failed to discuss / confront the Preliminary final  slaughter?  

    After Friday night we will be in another rebuild phase. My God it is boringly familiar.

    Still cant believe all the work that goes into this website. Where do you find the time? Ive looked at some of the other sites, Bomberblitz for example. The are just so bad, boring and drab and you can hardly even read them. Well done @Demonland

    Thought I would take your advice and see what the bummers think about Friday 's game,

    They are an underwhelming lot !!   to say the least    Go Dees !!

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
