Dangerfield Stages
The Hawkins - Fritsch one is symptomatic of a major blight on the game. Once a maggot has paid a free it seems OK for some players to grind a head into the ground, double jumper punch the chest or other physical afterthoughts against the player penalised (or in Fritsch’s case the recipient)of the decision made. Classic Hawkins behaviour.

Round 17 Non MFC Games
You can slice it, dice it, boil it, fry it - no matter what spin or half price tickets you put on it - this is just an ordinary game of footy. Off to read my book and mentally prepare for tomorrow afternoon.

Round 17 Non MFC Games
As much as I loathe Selwood - Pannell calls “play on” for the spear tackle. Overruled! This clown and his 2 50 metre penalties cost us the 4 points against St Kilda. Don’t worry about ladder position this costs us.

Pannell already influential.

Casey Demons v North Melbourne VFL - Round 14
Dom just cannot find a target, by hand by foot or scrum.

Game against Freo - umpiring
Just checked the teams - everything should be OK - we’ve got those two quiet unassuming chaps who never put themselves into the spotlight - No 18 and No 28!! My god, our great game is in trouble.

Changes v Fremantle
A la Gary Hardeman........and dare I say it.....a la David Neitz (Wayne Carey says hello)

POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 15
Have vented about the maggots - so, now the lads - Max brilliant all day and Angus early. Bailey F is an absolute star. Harmes OK. Nev had a shocker. Unlike him. I thought Salem was very good. Yes, Petty too early - lot of love for Frost, but not sure. Tyson going backwards, Cannot carry Mitch Hannan any longer. Dumb long run ups and didn’t get near clunking any. T-Mac clearly should not have played. I am not giving up the season yet, but something urgent needs fixing before we head to the tropics.

POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 15
You simply cannot afford to play 1.5 quarters of decent football, especially when you are up against those posturing maggots in the second and third quarters as they relentlessly ground our players (and us supporters as well) into the ground. I’m sure that very strange man, Troy Pannell would have gathered his apprentice fools 11 and 14 around him as they strode off the ground at half time. Job half done lads! We are untouchable! That decision just on the break and then the 50 metre that gifted the goal turned out to be quite costly. Haven’t seen Pannell for a while in AFL - a few of the clowns must have rung in sick this week. I am very angry with our boys today, but I am angrier with the clowns who stole the show. When is someone going to call them into account? 28, 11 and 14 today, 15 and “Adelaide Boy” 11 last week. The list just goes on.

Greatest Finals Moments in Demons History
87 Elimination, simply because it had been 23 years. Closest I’ve ever seen to the perfect game of football. It was Todd Viney, (not R Flower) from memory, who kicked the first goal. (30 seconds in, snap from the Smoker’s Stand pocket.). With the benefit of hindsight, it was game over from that magic moment. Complete euphoric fairytale. Cannot think of a better moment when the whole MCG erupted....... Best game of football ever! Will only be surpassed by the next winning Melbourne Grand Final.

Post Match Discussion - Round 14
Max has tweeted this morning that at least we didn’t “trash the brand” as we have done in the past. Wow, that is such a relief. I can get on with life, snap out of my anger and depression about last night and thoroughly enjoy the rest of the weekend knowing that our “brand” is secure. I absolutely love Max, but fair dinkum.......

GAMEDAY - Round 14
That absolute clown 15 has influenced this game. The soft “I thought it was a mark” to Wingard, the mind numbing free kick and 50 against Melky. Then the cautious response to the next “advantage” free to Port. I loathe that bald streak of you know what! Dare I say up there with Razor. It is all about him!

Round 13 Non - MFC Games
Massive opportunity this Friday night to regain the momentum lost last Monday. Media blackout please - drain the bath water - lads, simply go over there and get the job done.

Jordan Lewis is absolutely cooked, never pick him again
Wow! A bit harsh I would have thought.

Robert Flower - Demon Legend
I remember the day well. Sitting in the members on the “Tavern Bar” level. Remembered vividly for the Tilbrook and Swann show - had no idea it was the debut for our superstar.

Simon Goodwin on SEN (7/6)
What an incredibly powerful interview! For me, the big takeaway is the strength of the new culture that drives this club that we all love so much. Go Dees.

Round 16, 1990 - Essendon vs Melb at Windy Hill
Magic commentary by Ian Robertson: "....what...they say umpires don't influence games......"

Give us some credit! (Media reaction merged thread)
Just watched the replay again - as much as I normally loathe the Channel 7 coverage, I thought Bwooce and BT toned down the matey banter a bit. (No “Lingy” No “Richo” to share inside blokes gags). Message there Channel 7. Daisy is a gun and BT’s NT travelogue stuff showed a more sensitive side to him. What I simply cannot abide is Bwooces fawning pathetic love for “Duck”. I believe “Duck” is not really a very nice person, and yet we hear the dribble coming out of Bwooces mouth at every opportunity. I thought he may have been better than that.

Post Match Discussion - Round 10
Started going to the footy in 65, 66. Remember 64 but too young to go. This is simply the best side I have ever seen. 87 was a brilliant emotional ride and The Reverand’s every second year teams were giid fun and ripping personalities - but this team goes way beyond that! Got to make it count now.

Tom McDonald sent for Scans (24/5)
That is seriously big news!
