    He is on about the continuous attacks from tools like Barrett who make the same points over and over in their columns like its gospel. Candy Kane Cornes does the same. If you repeat the same thing over and over then it must be true. Barrett has made the same point about Trac & Clarry in his column each week that they don't want to be there. Well guess what they are there. And they are there for the whole season.

    Nah nothing to see there. However one person wants to leave a club. That club is in "crisis". Imagine having 50 plus staff in an organisation and someone wants to leave. The "crisis" that must bring to an organisation.

    Only sexual assault and aggravated assault going unpunished 

    Nothing like the rampant homesickness of Kozzi or the uber professionalism of Trac 

    Toxic culture

    Yeah, it generally helps to put the genesis for the post, in the post. Here it is:

    Feel like maybe this thought didn't require an entirely new thread.

    I hate the pies and I hate how much our club seems to not hate them.

     

    We are at war with them as far as I am concerned

    They should not be referred to as Collingwood, or the Pies. No term other than "the filth" is appropriate.

    I don't hate Collingwood, so when they win premierships it doesn't bother me.  The more you hate them, the more pain you'll experience when they win.

    Barrett actually says something negative about every single club in that "sliding doors" article. You would have to wonder about his mental state?

    Massive Inferiority complex. The look on the face gives it away all the time

    I think you need to get out more, obviously don't quite understand what the word 'war' means.

    I'm sure he means it in the Shakespearean sense.

    His relentless negativity is exhausting 

    Anyone would think he suffers from some kind of supporter syndrome

    Don't you Edwin Starr at me ðŸ¤£ As an ex military personage, the comparison to war no matter the context is abhorrent.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
