Hopefully all the corruption will stop now.

    DD an appropriately immature response.

    Whatever you think of AD he was probably the one who allowed the Demons to survive in 2003/2004 when we were broke. He has been a huge supporter of the 16 team competition and has been in charge of the AFL while it has supported our recovery.

    You can look at the small issues and get your back up. I'll look at the big picture, I'll look at the deals he struck with the TV stations that have provided enough money for the whole league to survive and I'll be thankful. And next year when I look at our team on the park I'll recognize the contribution AD has made towards that.

    I expect to be part of a very small and select group.

    Greatful of his contribution to the AFL but he seems to put his head in the sand far to often in regards to particular issues. He isn't aggressive enough and needs to be more upfront. He treats the fans like peseants and needs to screw on his head sometimes.

    I reckon he has done a fine job. There is always going to be critics and there will always be people who are dissapointed. I agree with fan.

    Don't get too excited...short memory must have a....

    Anyone at Dallas Brooks Hall in 1996 should contrast the Wayne Jackson/Ross Okley period with the AD one.

    I don't want to go through that again and don't think we will thanks to the strengthening that has occurred, partly due to AD's reign.

    Let's hope they pick another Victorian if this is true

    Well said Fan. I can't recall Wayne Jackson or Ross Oakley providing compensation to us, the bulldogs or the roos for a heavily fixed draw.

    'Fark off' yourself. Show some respect.

    Try stepping into Demetriou's shoes. That is one job I would never want to do.

    As Deelicious said, everything he does, good, bad, stupid or genius, he gets scrutinised.

    I just wonder who will be his replacement if he does leave.

    D08 i can say watever i bloody wanna say about him! i have always hated him from the very start. i do not wanna show respect to him!! does a shocking job at the brownlow every year!

    I think his priorities for the game are all wrong and I will be happy to see the back of him.

    I think turning his back on the Telstra Dome transfer agreement sold out fans, and allowing the draw to be totally pillaged by the rich sides has created more inequity in our competition than ever. I think this compensation point is a farce - the AFL has created a self-fulfilling prophecy that creates the need for compensation.

    And yes, he has supported 16 teams, but he intervenes in Boardrooms (buying North shares, saying he supports Butterss, etc..) and would love North to be re-located/re-branded/destroyed.

    He is incapable of responding to criticism in a positive way, and is evasive when asked about issues that are controversial. He has swept many issues under the carpet, and the current TV deal is an absolute disgrace in that if you don't have Foxtel, you don't have footy.

    Ditto 'Choko'.

    I don't think the problem is Demetriou. Much as he is pig-headed and overly stubborn, I think the problem is Adrian Anderson.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
