After Carey's comments and now what appears may be the end of Thompsons year i think its safe to say Laidley will be lucky to see the season out as head coach.

With Lenny Hayes getting reported and possibly joining an extremely long list of best 22 players unavailable for the Saints in round 1 i expect us to crush them.

More than likely they will be without, Hudghton, L.Fisher, Maguire (50-50), Gardiner, Hayes, Riewoldt, Kosi (50-50) and Hamill. All of them would be in their best 22 and contains 5 of their starting spine. Bring on round 1, we are about to hand out a spanking

Basically get rid of Laidley.

Carey's not the only one with that view. There are a few northerners who are not happy with the way their side dies in the backside after holding a 37 point lead halfway through the third quarter and with Laidley's casual response to it all.

Meanwhile, it seems Hayes is in trouble. He had a 50m penalty awarded against him in the incident, it was a high contact tackle and he has form.

Are you certain all those guys aren't playing? I was under the impression that Riewoldt was going to be ok for round 1. And what's wrong with Gardiner? Plus the article states that Kosi got through the game ok and Maguire did too. I know you said 50-50 for those two, but I'm sure they'll play. Hayes is not suspended as yet and I heard on SEN that it wasn't much and he'll probably get off with a reprimand.

And let's not get too cocky after last year's Carlton debacle!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely terrible news for Thompson and the Kangaroos!

It makes you realise how quickly your season can come unstuck.

We just have one more practice game to get through, and I hope that we can make it out of Geelong unhurt and unreported.

You're right, we shouldn't count our chickens before they're hatched because according to the papers, a few of those blokes will be available for round 1 - including Riewoldt and Koschitzke.

Irrespective, we have to beat whoever they put out there and we have a habit of fluffing the ones where the opportunity appears to be the greatest. AS Pringle pointed out - we lost to Carlton twice last year.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
