"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: !!!

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
