CAC is about to talk to Dwayne and Tony on 3AW.

May be worth a listen!

Cheers. Listening now.

He speaks so well.

Really really thrilled to hear that we're getting more support and development staff around the place. He said we'll have 2 development coaches next year, and I think this year we had none.

Also said that we're looking, over the next 3 years, to bring a group of young players together. So quite clearly, we are not in a premiership mode.

I thought it was quite instructive that he told a tale from his early days at Freo that convinced him about ALWAYS taking the best player available in the draft.

Dont worry about filling holes or worrying about players going home.

Hmm. He was there when we recruited Luke Molan, maybe he was outvoted at the time.

Which means he still could be (Vetoed)

Which means he still could be (Vetoed)

The one ond only time that the previous coach overruled his decsion.

He wasn't outvoted - drafting doesn't go to a vote. He was vetoed. Big difference. I'll never blame CAC for Molan.

Could you expand on this? What happened?

Ditto... I didn't know Daniher vetoed CAC.

Also can somebody summarise what CAC said? I'd be keen to hear, from the horses mouth, what approach we're taking into the draft and 08.

Im glad to hear that, it always seems to bite you in the ass when you dont.

That's news to me. I know they did on one player we drafted but it wasn't Molan.

Alpha33 is putting together a full transcript of the interview. It will be up on the site tonight or tomorrow morning.

Excellent! Thanks Demonland and Alpha33.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
