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.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
