Tired of Greg Stafford being our goal kicking coach 

 

Feel your pain on the Dee-trauma front, Deegirl.

To be fair to the big fella his goals/behinds percentage is pretty darn good at 68.12% from 141 goals in 204 games -  better than Dunstall and not far off Lockett. For the record, Yze is 54.67% and Goodwin 54.54%. (Ben Brown at 67.21% is nice!). I remember him as having a very simple and clean kicking action.

But in general it has been a tiring watch over the journey.

Petracca looks the same as last season. Not sure what you're looking at. 

How many times have you seen Rosman play just out of interest?

This sort of completely rude, pointless post is a stain on this generally pretty good site. Just rubbish and it says all I need to know about who you are a person. And it is one of your more innocuous posts.

As I have posted before I put very few posters on ignore. Mostly with posters such as yourself who add little but angst i just don't bother with their posts, or if I do  use sarcasm to make a point.

But this rudeness is the straw 'dr d' and on ignore you go. It has been a tough  long year for everyone. Who needs to see such dull negativity.

Fraser Rosman has the potential to be an absolute beast. He has a similar physique to Paddy Cripps.

Bit of muscle to come, bit of orientation to the level, bit of inspiration from the Team - all will be good. I'd like to think that he could become an important interceptor and 'physical' rebounder with courage and intent. Over to you, Chock-Ooze!

I contacted the club today about going to Casey and what time training would be. This is there response.

Thank yo for taking the time to contact us.

The team won't be training tomorrow and at this stage their won't be any open training sessions. You can see training sessions when they take  place from outside the fence but you can't enter or approach players on their way in or out before or after training for photos or autographs due to the current guidelines.

 

So sorry Demonlanders I won't be going Friday. Hopefully in the new year they will have open training sessions.

Thanks for your efforts Werridee, do you mind just checking again that it didn't go on to say

... However we do understand supporter sites such as Demonland offer a valuable service in providing additional information to our fans, and given the circumstances we'll endeavour to provide further information on our website, along the same lines of what's been seen on those sites. 

They may have forgotten to add that part.

Everyone here has stood by the team and continues to do so.

You can do that while also admitting that they torture us.

Thank you for your service.

Let us know how it goes and how much you can still see from behind the fence.

I'd love to head down before the Christmas break but not if it's comparable to sitting in row MM of the Ponsford stand. Apologies in advance to @Supermercado

False comparison, the elevation of Row MM lets you see everything you need to. Watching through the Casey fence would be like sitting at the back of Level 1 of the MCG but even worse because you're looking through a fence.

We are so frustrating and can't be trusted.   It's not pleasant watching them, it's a chore.

As a long time supporter I'm tired.

Tired of not seeing them fulfil potential.

Tired of seeing them drop games they should win.

Tired of watching subpar skills.

Tired of having [censored] Robbo as the game day hype man.

Tired of seeing Trac, Clarry and Brayshaw not got back and take their time off the mark.

Tired of seeing Melksham give away stupid 50s.

Tired of not seeing the club hire a vodou houngan to calm the uneasy spirit of Norm Smith. 

Tired of saying wtf happened to Tom McDonald

Tired of seeing spuds like ANB on the list

Tired of Greg Stafford being our goal kicking coach (pre-Choco)

 

Think of this as my MFC Festivus  - I got a lot of problems with you people!

 

 

Very good. 100% agreed.

This post just about sums up why we've been utter garbage since 2007 and have not fulfilled our so called potential under Goodwin, despite he being gifted a solid list and re-build.

The Melksham one I especially agree with. If he gives away another pathetic 50 in round 1 next year, he can go play at Casey Fields until June.

I hear you Deegirl

I had to stop watching mid-way through 2019. Wasn’t fair on the family to put up with my outbursts and grumpiness. I was so expectant after 2018 and then….devastation.

Disappointment is the lot of most fans but the life of a dees supporter is a tough road.

But having said that, when we eventually come good, and we will (hopefully I’ll be alive) it will be all the sweeter for having travelled that road.

Go dees!

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
