  • Feels the AFL commission should intervene with the West Coast situation and punish Cousins
  • Not sure that Cousins deserves to play again, not in the short term at least, as he is affectively a cheat (he didn't say cheat, but he implied it and compared Cousins to a cyclist who gets caught using drugs and is punished with a long suspension).
  • Said Headland's reaction on Sunday (kissing the tattoo), was inciting the fans
  • We got fined $7,500 for the runner getting in the way of Sandilands on Sunday, no explanation or a 'please explain' given either. We've obviously asked why the fine is so heavy, when Braun only got a $5,000 fine for swearing. (My 2 cents worth: What a friggin disgrace, $7,500 for a silly runner mistake. Gees! :rolleyes: )

  • Said he expects Daniher to coach us in 2008, but there will be no contract discussion in the press.
  • Also said Daniher may not necessarily want to coach us next year, as he may want a break (will this be the excuse for a mutual parting?)
  • Wants Neale to be our next premiership coach, and believes we are still in a premiership window. We're capable of winning a flag in the next 18 months according to PG.
Just quietly, I don't think Daniher will coach us next year, but PG is showing public support to try and get the media off our backs.

I'd be very surprised if Neale is still there in 2008.

Good on Paul Gardner, I can just guess what some will think of this. Compare his response to that of Joe Gutnik's when he stormed into the commentary box in 97 at half time against the Saints in Rd six and we were looking at a fifth straight loss.

Hutchy is a rat but at least he asks a few real questions, which is probably why everyone hates him. Remember him ripping into Don Scott a few years back..haha...but anyway

Whilst the interview was positive I can't halp but feel Gardiner is overly optimistic. We are last on the ladder and he says we can win a flag in 18 months. If a president of another club in our position had said that I would laugh. I think that ON OUR DAY AND WITH OUR BEST 22 ALL PLAYING WELL we can win a premiership. But we have no consistency, we have no depth and let's face come season's end when the contenders start to present themselves we start to unravel

sort of a shame he didnt just come out with the you know what ...'Unequivocal support " for the coach !! :-) ..as we all know what happens next!!.

but honestly..wish ND no malice.. hope he continues on a happy road.....maybe as a "rev' he's more suited to elevators going up as opposed to where elevators going down lead !!

Fully agree Graz. Another professional and mature performance by him. Its a far far improvement on Gutnick.

I cannot put in words how much I dislike Craig Hutchison.

I used to love him but now, I couldn't even begin to describe how much of a dirty, sly rat he is.

I completly agree with you. The moment he went to 9 he said on the footy show "they dont have enough cameras and i kinda got sick of their mediaoka footy coverage reports". This may be true but working at a station that has trained u and given u that profile for 7 years...doesent seem fair to slap it back in their face. I hate the guy so much and i seriously hope his career ends due to some unfortunate (forunate for me) mistake

I've no problem with the runner being fined, he interferred with play. That said he ws blindsided and didn't mean it.

If the runner cops a 7 grand fine, then surely the umpire should too. His mistake was worse than the runners, he had a clear view of the incident and was negligent in not paying a free to Freo. If not the umpire, then the AFL, as his employer, should be fined :lol:

If the runner, by being negligent in his duties get fined 7 grand then surely the umpire, who was even more megligent in his duties should have to cough up the same amount.

You are probably right there Rod, but do you want lay odds on that actually happening ;) ?!!!

They did get a free kick. We actually kept playing and kicked a goal that was disallowed and the ball brought back to the centre and Freo got the free kick. They got a goal as a result of that forward entry play!

I thought that decision was for something else - maybe a push in the contest paid against Miller? Not sure.

I really like PG, I like the way he goes about it and I like that he's a bigger picture sort of guy.

That said, his comments about Cousins were way off the mark.

Let's focus on us before we starting worrying about Ben Cousins.

That is exactly the way I was left thinking as well Hards......

    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

    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

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
