I will decide when the financials come out, I am no fan of Gardner think he enjoys seeing his face on TV a little too much & his handling of Daniher was terrible but their main job is finances & they cannot be judged to 1 November.

I don't know how you can say he enjoys seeing his face on TV.......we very rarely see him on TV!

He comes across more as a person who prefers to be out of the limelight than in it.

    KPP's.... ;)

    again its an old discussion that has been had over a thousand times but considering of recent times we have picked up dunn, bate, newton, carroll (rookie), rivers. and we have also traded off rucks in jolly and simmonds. before this we were blessed with players such as neitz, schwartz, lyon and stynes. 4 who played excess of 10 years with the club as genuine talls.

    yes we seem to have wasted a number of picks: molan, smith, rogers, miller...if a couple of these had made it we would be in a much better situation.

    i suppose the question is, do you judge CAC by his failures (above) or his successes? in which case you should be looking at all the rookies and late picks which have come good.

    Im not happy the way things are going. I think we as a club are reactive. Anyone keen on helping me get 100 signatures for a board spill or to call a AGM over this, im really not sure how it works but I know are richmond supporter did it a while ago.

    Im really keen to get the ball rolling on this so if anyone wants to help me or has got any suggestions let me know. We need action, maybe we can collect sigantures before a collingwood game or something????

    Does anyone know how this works???

    cause I wanna do something about it

    I suspect that bazza is a journo trying to stir things up!

    If you are, R A C K O F F !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    settle down baz. we do have a few hot-heads on the board, as illustrated by Daniher's sacking, but in actual fact maybe that was proactive in trying to get first 'dibs' at a new coach.

    although it seems somehow we are not front runners, we will have to wait and see.

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
