It was mentioned on SEN late last night that our alliance with Sandy has become strained. Apparently Melbourne want some players who are carrying injuries, to go under the knife early, rather than play for Sandy during the finals.

Barry from Beach Road may be able to confirm if true.

The main problem is that Melbourne should be doing what's best for Melbourne, and Sandy needs to do what's best for Sandy and I just don't think that the two always exist in harmony. Our relationship has been wonderful for Sandy, I'm not convinced that we've benfited as much though.

but it is a bit embarrassing that not only is the spelling so poor that some words are nigh on impossible to make out but that the grammar is poor also, meaning there are random words in a row that dont really construct a sentence. no one minds some abbreviations but you have to write something comprehensible...

RIP the English language :(

Seriously though, on alot of forums now some of the grammar being used (or misused) is unbelieveable, bloody sms talk.

Would it kill you to use a capital letter every now and then? :P

no you have a fair point. i am lazy and dont when i use the net. bt i think one can read what ive written and work it out pretty easily...

the spelling is reasonable, and any abbrev. are easy enough to understand. i dont believe the capital letter issue effects anyones ability to read and comprehend my posts...although a 'senior member of the academic community' had a problem when i sent him a 3 line email and didnt use capital letters, the response to which was quite amusing...

A nice thought, but most players would be carrying an injury by about round 20 and still be able to play at 70-80%. If we put the likes of Dunn, CJ, Newton (if he qualifies), etc out for the year to get a head start on the surgeries than we could well be crippling a team that's been so dominant this year. I think it should be up to the player, if he really wants to play in the Sandy finals campaign, chances are he's played enough games for them to feel a part of the team and they deserve the choice.

Many young players enjoy the chance to be a aprt of a VFL finals campaign and win a premiership for Sandy, it could well be a good experience for a few of them.

i think it will be up to the new coach, who it sounds like could be named next week... although if bailey or hardwick get the gig they may hold off until hawthorn or port's season is over...

but if the new coach is named next week, lets say sheeds... do you think he's going to want to put off players' surgery so they can play at sandy? i wouldn't think so...

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
