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.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
