Also if there are any supporters living near Wollongong please send me a message. I'm bored with forcing my basketball crazed son to watch games.

Would love to go, but getting anywhere beyond my local shopping centre is a bridge too far. They should be putting these things on at my local pub in Dulwich Hill 😁

Enjoy the event and Go Dees!

I hope the event attracts many people, Deeves. The NSW Demons sponsor Jeffo and that’s not cheap, and they’re his only sponsor.

It’s hard for them to organise events being that they’re not In Vic so I hope it’s a success.

Kelly’s a great guy and he’d have a lot of interesting things to talk about.

Great to hear from you GW.

I have high hopes for young Jeffo.

Apparently did well at Casey with five goals

He'll break through in the Seniors soon and then that.

Matthew will be playing in Sydney tomorrow at 1.35pm with the Casey team at Tramway Oval, Moore Park.

I expect we’ll also see Jacob Van Rooyen, Blake Howes, Koltyn Tholstrup, Taj Woewodin and Kynan Brown all playing. None named in the squad for Alice Springs.

Hope to see a few NSW Demons get along to support the Dees and Casey boys play Sydney.

Thanks.

You could’ve just bumped it, Deeves. You didn’t have to change your name

I wanted to change it to Leonardo DEE Vinci but thought it too lame . Then I had writer's block. As one can tell.

  • 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.
