Why do you keep linking articles that most people cannot access because of a paywall. 

Either copy & paste the article so we can all read it or Stop Linkin them.

    I appreciate very much those links. And we all understand why the mods will rightly explode if you paste the entire article. 

    There's a lot of info posted here and elsewhere on how to jump paywalls. Try a bypass paywalls add-on to your browser.  You might have to try a few to find one that works for you and it may work on some sites and not others.

    Another trick which works sometimes is to use an AI chatbot (like llama3) and ask it to summarise an article at the URL.  If they get past the paywall the summary can be as good as reading the article.  Sometimes not.

    The easiest way is to go to your browser settings and switch off Java Script. Then you can read the article and when finished turn Java Script back on or browser won’t work properly for other functions.

    I don't think he can survive this if he keeps playing underperforming players.

    Play the youngsters or the jungle drums will beat louder and louder until your gone Goody.

    He's playing the best we have. If you think there are players running round at Casey - who have won 3 matches all year - that would make any appreciable difference, there's a bridge in Sydney that's up for sale.

    It's an opinion piece from one of their editors and a Dee's fan - not something from their FD. And not any different from anything you're already reading here.

    It’s bad enough that a new thread is started every time yet another journo writes us off. What’s worse is when two threads for the same article are started. Case in point… this one. 🙄

    What annoys me most is this idea that dynasty’s just happen and anyone with talented players should get them. They are a f’ing hard thing to do

    Political reporter writing about football - yeah nah!

    So that invalidates most of us here on Demonland who write about football? As was stated above by Bing181, it’s an opinion piece by a Dees supporter; he has his platform, we have ours.

    I didn’t say he wasn’t allowed to have an opinion just that I’m not sure it’s an opinion I value 

    spot the difference?

    Which in an of itself is just another opinion. Many dont share yours....  in my opinion.

    Spot the indifference  ?

    We've all be long suffering from the Age rolling out this guy whenever the Dees hit a rough patch.

    When the sports editor gets an email from him pitching a story they could simply delete the email.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
