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. 🙄

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?

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.

    MORE FIERCE by Meggs

    We’re back!  Winning the last three matches has recaptured our Demon spirit and, with superstar players returning from rehab, our Season 2024 dreams are not over yet.   So come along 5.05 pm Saturday afternoon to watch this Round 9 ladder-defining match at the Field of Dreams. Expect the Tigers to be fierce, but surely the Demons will be more fierce. Playing conditions are expected to be a dry 15 degrees with a typically gusty Cranbourne wind. The media opprobrium of the ill-consi

    IN FRONT by Meggs

    In this must-win clash between Melbourne 11th on the ladder and St Kilda 8th, it was the Demons who were in front all day to win in a hard-fought Round 8 clash to make it three in a row to keep theit slim finals chances alive. A good crowd of enthusiastic footy families for week 2 of Pride Round had gathered.  The full pews in the well-appointed RSEA Park grandstand provided excellent viewing.   The Saints won the toss and elected to kick to the southern end favoured by a strong 2-3 g

    THE TRADING CHRONICLES 02

    Part 2: Watching grass grow by Whispering Jack Critics of test cricket (and I’m not one of them) will often claim the sport is excruciatingly boring: that following a five day match is much like watching grass grow. However, the longest form of that game has nothing on the first week of the AFL trade period when it comes to inducing sleep among those in the football public who follows this process in its somnolent moments. The week gone by has been no exception. Only two player trades

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Meggs

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised
