I’m a little tired of all the drama player and board wise.

What I would like to see:

- injury free preseason for all Demon players and particularly Trac, Oliver, Gawn, Petty, Viney, Salem and May. Also McAdam to see if he can really play. Last preseason was really bad and it heavily impacted this year.

- new forward and midfield coaches.

- few board changes.

- one great draft pick and two good ones.

- get at least one if not two top 23 players in trading period. One May or Lever type quality player adds a lot to the team.

- we must have a bit up our sleeve in salary cap, use it wisely.

- good draw (Tigers twice)! Play Freo once!

- then stability. Board level down.

Agree with everything you want. Just remember, we will have to pay at least part of Gus's contract for the next 4 years out of the salary cap. Eg.

'25.   10%

'26.   25%

'27.    50%

'28.    100%

That means some juggling required. Thanks Brayden. 😠

I'd really love the club to sue Collingwood/AFL/Maynard to recoup those costs.

*No more scandles and innuendo.

*Fix our structural issues inside 50.

* Bolster our midfield mix through draft or trades.

* Remove the Rat from the ranks that keeps leaking info.

* Find a new president and CEO.

 

 

We need younger players with solid experience but with little or static improvement since 2021/22 to step up to the next level. They include, Sparrow, Chandler, Bowey, McVee and VDR. We need the chop out ruckman problem settled as it’s been stuffing up our key forward set up. 

honestly us fans deserve to see a finals win. hopefully at the MCG. for this to happen we need to have a good preseason with few injuries, but it is definitely within our potential.

A Premiership. Same as every year. Since 2021 I have had to add, one that I can go to with my GF ticket guarantee 🤞🏻🔴🔵


Wake up Jan 1 and realise 2024 was just a bad dream

We will see if C5PO follows his protocols….

I have zero hope we will win a flag in 25.

I think we won't even make the finals.

Our fwd line is still a mess.

Our midfield has imploded. Oliver's form all over the place. Tracca and Viney's murmurings about leaving. Injury cloud over Tracca.

Anb moved on. 

It's hard to fathom how much we have fallen in three years.

Id like to be positive but it's extremely hard to do so the way we finished this year and all the off field antics 

Playing for the Mfc is a privilege and a few players need to recognize this. 

I hope the club is lethal in it's pruning in the next few months. And despite our lack of depth, I hope next year players are relegated to the twos after insipid efforts and not constantly gifted games they don't deserve.

Seston finished equal 4th in Casey B & F with Laurie. I think he will get another year.

Deakyn Smith won the Casey B&F in 2023 and still got delisted.

Sestan averages 11-12 possessions and less than a goal per game.  He had some strong games 3-4 but missing below par in many others.

McAdam

If this is the assessment, then I think KPP backman remains one of the key recruiting / development needs, that and/or the club needs to work out and stick to their guns on who of Petty/Turner are forwards and let the other solidify a role down back.

Personally, despite some glimpses I think the Petty forward experiment has failed and I'd rather see him down back again.

We've got a huge Steve May sized hole to fill when he retires.

  • 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?

Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
