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.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
