They called us a powerhouse! Woo hoo! We're in!

I thought "The departures of chief executive Gary Pert and president Kate Roffey also didn’t help stabilising efforts." was a strange thing to say. At best you could describe it as an end to destabilisation - beating the termites by replacing the wood with concrete. Less generously you could say "efforts to destabilise the club reached fruition with the departure of Kate Roffey and Gary Pert, and have now concluded".

I wonder what they mean by 'dual-threat' about Nibbler? Maybe they are trying to invent a new way to say two-way runner?

I also wonder who this Jake Bowers character is?

Has anyone else noticed that 'Viney & Co" is now a rock-solid idiom in the AFL media? As in, media will get comments from Gawn, from May, from Goodwin, from Petracca, and from Viney & Co. Who is this mysterious "& Co"? Seems like a clear nickname waiting for the right person to attach to.

    seems mean and vindictive; too close to 'unco' for my liking

    I mentioned it a couple of months ago that our squad build in the last 24 months has placed us in a position where i personally think our squad is stronger than it has been for the last 3 years.

    *Shake up of our game plan 🤞 according to interviews by Goody (I have nothing to go by yet we'll found out more tomorrow and in the next month or so.)

    *Forward stock options- JVR has help finally around him.

    *Midfield rotation options/Running power through defence through to midfield

    *Quality cover in Ruck now Gawn/Campbell and Verrall

    *Defensive stability only worry is a lack of small defenders with Mcvee going down.

    Having not seen the kid play in the flesh only highlights to go by but it I feel we only got stronger with the inclusion of Hendo onto our list.

    💪

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
