GAMEDAY: Rd 12 vs Sydney



Recommended Posts

The world’s worst kept secret is now almost official.

Brown is not on the AFL site’s Casey Demons team and, as stated above, Jack Bell’s name is now on the interchange list.

If Brown is out because he’s been elevated to play for Melbourne, then surely he’s replacing Tom McDonald.

A butterfly flaps it’s wings at a VAFA B Section game and it’s effect is felt at the highest level of the game!

After the ‘downer’ against Freo, there have been a few very early signs of the re-emergence of MFCSS amongst some Demonland colleagues.  It’s a horrible ailment, and extremely contagious, but fortunately, a win against the Swans will put that to rest. Dees in a hard-fought 19 point win, to curtail an epidemic for at least another week.

The  premiership is a great vaccination against MFCSS, but I would like a booster in late September ...

On those rumours about TMac being out and replaced by Mitch Brown from the Casey team, I can say that one of the emergencies for Casey, Jack Bell who was selected to play for Old Haileybury in its VAFA B Section game today, didn’t take his place in the team. Could it be that he’s been called up to fill in a vacancy for the Casey Demons caused by Mitch’s elevation to the AFL Demons?

Top shelf detective work right there.

How do you know it's a 'regulation twisted ankle'? Or do you think it was worse than we all initially thought anyway? They only reported it as an ankle injury/soreness which leaves it pretty open.

He seemed to tweak it a second time during the game and if it's a higher strain they can take a while to get back near 100%.

I only thought it was regulation because he played the game out against North and didn’t seem to be in horrible pain. But hey I’m not a doctor, much to my parents’ disappointment.

Having a crap day? Could be worse: I’m at the ‘G now and just realised I’ve lost my purse. I messaged my son to have a look for it in my bedroom. He messaged back ‘what does it look like?’ I messaged ‘fair question since I have thousands of purses in there.’ 🙄 Silence for 20 minutes. Then he messages me ‘is this it?’ and attaches a pic of a huge biscuit tin full of junk jewellery. 😑 But it gets worse, he says, ‘hey, I found these dope big jangly fake gold earrings. Can I have them?’ 😳

Haha I hear that.

Ankles can be tricky though, they can be one of those injuries that ends up way worse the next day or so. I did mine a million times in both footy and basketball and it would vary from being able to pay out the game after a few minutes pain to not being able to play for weeks. My experience was the higher up the strain the worse it would be, which is why i wondered if that's maybe what happened to TMac.

He will as have him as my SC captain. Go Trac and go Dees

Looking for big games from Jackson and BBB.

Brown and Brown purveyors of fine ale. Trust the batch will be hatched during tonight’s match. Otherwise it will be down to Young (&) Jackson(‘s).

I've just got out of the pool.  How is the weather at the G?

Effing cold!!!! Bring blankets! No rain, and the VFL game showed no signs of swirling wind. Both Browns warming up. Nibbler’s already run a half marathon, Tracc kicking to Greg Stafford along the line of the centre square. Maxy just hacky-sacked the footy 8 times before losing it. Tracc just squeezed a goal 45m out on 45 degree angle! Bowser did same from boundary line, didn’t deviate, didn’t flutter, split the goals perfectly.

JJ just landed 2 torps from the Telstra 5G logo on the 50. Both went through mid-post high. BRING BACK THE TORP!!!!!

TMac out makes things tougher for sure. Also is interesting that if the Brown/Weid twosome Brown got the call up. Hate to say it but this looks like curtains for Weid at the Dees, really wanted him to come good but it just doesn’t seem to be happening. 

As for M Brown; play your role, that’s all we ask.

    GIANT HEADACHE by Whispering Jack

    The crack in the captain’s ankle might be very small but the repercussions of the injury are enormous. The aftershock of the news that Max Gawn will sit on the sidelines for the next two or three weeks has provided Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin with a giant headache, not unlike the one he faced after the Kings Birthday when another Demon superstar Christian Petracca suffered his season-ending injury. That headache is magnified by the fact that Goodwin is facing a month of tough encounters a

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b
