"Melbourne key forward Brad Miller says the Demons have the attacking weapons to remain a force even if star forwards David Neitz and Russell Robertson are sidelined by knee injuries."

That's the opening line of another piece of Melbourne propaganda on AFL.COM.AU

Who or what are these attackng weapons he's talking about? They're all firing blanks.

    We can outscore the Cats if Sylvia, Davey, Yze and Miller all fire

    Also need goals from the midfield

    Ahhh yes, the eternal optimism that only a true Demon can show so soon after yet another comprehensive defeat.

    Hope does spring eternal I guess!

    What on earth to expect him to say.

    ".....yep we are now totally and utterly screwed, today was awful and the injuries are bad. This is the first time in forever I have actually kicked any goals, and who the hell knows about next week. We don't have any forward depth that I know of, so yep we are going to go out and get ourselves killed because we totally suck, sorry."

    Honest it may be, but I don't think so. I know that it is rhetoric, we all know it is rhetoric, and I am pretty sure Miller or anyone else in the same position doing the interview (including the journalist) after that performance and with the injury news in their head knows its rhetoric, but its what happens, everywhere. Especially so soon after being whomped.

    And to be honest I really don't care about what a player says, it is what a player does that counts (and hopefully he will be proven right!!!)

    Besides what Daniher had to say interest me a hell of a lot more. Can anyone let me know.

    But as for the apparent attacking weapons...... I'll get back to you :wacko: !!!

    • 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?
