    A week has now past since the disaster that ended our year in 2023.

    I can now sort of be sensible in what I write.

    Those that are predicting our demise down the ladder in 2024 will be IMO sadly disappointed. We arrived at the end of this season with serious injuries to a number of our better players particularly KPF’s. We could still have won both games except for poor kicking for goal and some poor umpiring decisions. We also had serious long term injuries to players during the season e.g. Fritta and Clarrie. 
    so I am buoyant about next season. However I will go to the grave wondering why we did not pick the Bun as the 23rd man and then not play the guy we had picked who is a forward. 

    However we need to get at least another KPF who is ready to go in 2024, Tmac and Brown are at the end. Roo I will give one more season but I am not impressed, yes he is still young etc. but he too often gets we’re the ball ain’t as Jack would say. Doesn’t seem to have the ability to take a pack mark either. A useful player but no star IMO. Of course he might be improved if the ball was delivered better instead of the all too often bomb that helps defenders more than our forwards. 
    Kossie had a poor year IMO and I don’t expect that to continue in 2024. 
    Sadly we have returned to years past where the end of the season with only drafting etc as the only point of interest. Who know how the loss of our assistant coach will affect us.As for the AFL they have slipped to a point I didn’t think was possible. I have no interest in the next two weeks off to QLD for two weeks so I won’t have to endure the media [censored] if the worst should happen. 
    Here is to the 2024 season!

    The 2021 'team' would have beaten Carlton by 20+ points.  We have lost the ability to put teams away.

    Ridiculously harsh on JVR. The kid is 20, playing his first season in the seniors. Had an OUTSTANDING year for someone who basically carried the load of our main target all year. Turn it up mate.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
