I like the cut of Deano's jib, but right now, he has alot of work to do. Talking in December is one thing, action in march is when he will really start to be judged. But so far, i think he is a god fit.

Also great to G.Lyon get involved and talk Robbo around. Like the article says, Garry gets criticised for not being involved in the club, but he is red and blue through and through, and he is often talking to players...when they ask him. a true club great!!!

Great article, Mike's always good at a December fluff piece, but at least "The Dean' is saying all the right things. It's hard to not get excited about the new era, but it seems the suck it and see approach is the best way to take this. Too many disappointments to get too excited yet!!

It doesnt matter what happened in 20years ago it doesnt matter what happened last season because today is a new day with a new coach a new team and a new attitude. Dean Bailey at the moment has ticked all the boxes so no criticism is needed for the moment until he makes one but Bailey looks like the man who learns from mistakes and would not keep a recurring problem occur which we faced occasionally through the Danhier Era.

As Bob Dylan said "The times they are a-changing" so lets just sit back and watch our team in the 2008 season and support them through the good times and the bad times.

As said in the article we have players that are at a fitness that was expected in Janurary and players are not happy about last season and are looking to rectify it, so you know that we are going to come our roaring. People can critise and point out flaws and complain but I don't care cause i know that I'll be cheering for my club come the 2008 season and beyond because nothing can destroy my optimism and nothing can destroy my faith.

CARN THE DEMONS!!! FOR NOW AND FOREVER!!!

Bingers, I appreciate your caution, but the Barassi era was the precursor to our 5 consecutive finals appearances under Northey. The vast majority of that team were brought together by Barassi and Slug Jordan. Perhaps his 5 year plan should have been 7!

    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

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
