If we were to be a stand alone, we would need a ground to play on & facilities as we would not be using Casey's anymore would we? Better to put it all together than continue to be spread out all over the place like we are now. Ideally building a new one would be great, that's what I was getting at.

Ok, felt like it was just at me. The difference with the Hawks is they are the Box Hill Hawks, same jumpers, song & name. If Casey changed their name to the Demons and used Grand old flag, maybe that would help with familiarizing with them. Casey is now treating us really well, it just feels like they get more out of it than us still. Casey Demons sounds heaps better than scorpions lol.

Not sure i would call it a burden and I disagree that there is no benefit too. Imagine if we could build a monstrosity like Essendon has. 1 MCG sized oval, 1 Etihad sized oval. HQ for all staff to be together, ahhh we can dream I guess.

Lol, worked out great for Adelaide, well for a week at least.

Unless you are North Melbourne who do it week 1 of a finals series!

It was a pathetic game, I didn't say the team was pathetic like you twisted my words to be. We played so well through out the year, and I did mention that, thats why it was pathetic because of the way we lost. The call for a stand alone has been around for a long time, it is not all of a sudden. I know that we are not going to cancel it any time soon Stuie, but you cannot disagree that it just doesn't sit right surely? Watching the pies, dogs and bombers have their own VFL team why we have to rely on another club is not an ideal situation. I also know that it isn't as easy as just saying ok we are now on our own lets play, we need a ground, training facilities all that, but it isn't impossible is it? Why? Whats the benefits except the fact they have a ground and new facilities? What do we get out of aligning with a separate club.

Yeah that makes me feel a little sad for you. Then I think of the complete disinterest my wife shows sometimes when at the games and I think sometimes it would be better if she wasn't there LoL.

Pathetic game, really disappointed. Stage fright really kicked in didn't it? Also a note on the alignment, it really sucks. I felt like a fool wearing my Melbourne gear to a game that Melbourne were not playing in. You know like those people that go to a game and wear their colours even though their team played the day before. The Casey Scorpions will never be the Melbourne Demons and the Demons will only ever be a part of them. The atmosphere when the Scorps ran out was so flat & no one knows the team song, myself included, as I didn't even think about that until it started playing and I'm like "oh yeah it's not the Dees". When the dogs ran out the usual thing happened at every game vfl or afl, everyone sang their song proudly, wonder why. To me it just didn't feel like I was there to support the Dees. This bullcrap that we cannot afford a stand alone teams gets discredited when the doggies prove they can do it. They are only just in front of us in memberships, and we make more money than they have over the last few years. Would we have to pay out a heap of money to the city of Casey if we break the partnership? Time to cut this alignment and get a reserves that the people can really get behind. This is just my two cents worth and I have been feeling like this over the whole year, I tried to get excited about Casey playing so well, and I know i should because we are part of them but I just can't.

If/when we do not take him BBO, I reckon that he would be a great fit for the Saints as I do not believe they have a decent small forward.

Even got his dreamy blue eyes....did i say that aloud!?

Small hands too.

This really is a agree to disagree topic.

I think most peoples hate for him stems from him ripping us a new one every time we played NM. Those opposed to getting him, what harm would it do? Do you really think getting Harvey would make us take a step backwards? I have read most opposed think he is not a leader, if that is the case then people will not follow his selfish on field habits will they? They will follow the role models they have been following. Why all of a sudden would they start playing selfishly just because he has joined the team? I just do not understand this logic.

And the 2nd round too, Freo have 1 pick inside the top 50

I dont like him the way he is against us.

Correct, if they chose to follow Whorethorn, you are choosing to also eat out of the garbage and sleep in the garden shed.

Ignorance is no excuse for what they consented to. Zaharakis said no with no consequences, the others could've too and this whole thing would not have existed, instead they agreed to get injections hoping to get an edge on the competition. They are not innocent little butterflies that have no responsibility for their own decisions.

I remembered recently I started this thread wayyyy back when, and even though i said there was no way i could convert Mrs Kika to our cause, I have, going on 5 years now. Anyone else that hasn't added, I'd love to hear your stories.

Just had a look at that pic, looks like Wattsy has had some ink done recently, showing his love for the city! Also didn't realize Jones had tatts of the MCG tower lights on his bicep either!

Come on man, surely you have some left.

When we destroy Carlton & the Roos get a kicking by the Swans, this place is going to be mental.

Just so long as it doesn't smell like teen spirit. I will show myself out.
