Ted Fidge’s Health
The AFL had an opportunity to make a stand after the Angus Brayshaw incident. They should've clearly stated that the player initiating the tackle or smother has a clear duty of care and that Maynard's action was unacceptable. Shamefully but typically they squibbed it.

How did you become a Demon?
Interesting story Beetle. I grew up in Dandenong in the early 60’s & followed the mighty redlegs. They wore the same jumpers as the Dees so it was an easy decision. Geez Dandy had some great players - Alan Morrow, Hughie Mitchell, Rodney Evans, Frosty Miller et al.

2023 Player Reviews: #4 James Harmes
Sadly lost his mojo in 2023. Stopped hitting the scoreboard & seemed to lose his aggression & niggle.

Welcome Back to Demonland Marty Hore
Yes and the reason was injury. That's why we let him go. Its actually a very smart list management decision. We need experienced players at Casey mentoring the kids & keeping the seconds team competitive.

Welcome Back to Demonland Marty Hore
Thats a snide little put down for someone who averages 16 disposals & 5 marks when he played for us.

Welcome Back to Demonland Marty Hore
Can't believe the negative nonsense written about Marty Hore by posters. He is a very handy signing. He has good skills & can fill in wing, or in defence & only injury prevented him becoming a permanent player last time round. He'll also be an ideal player at Casey.

Ruck depth
There's Tom McDonald & Tomlinson at a pinch. Last year we won a game with Weideman & Mitch Brown rucking.

Welcome Back to Demonland Marty Hore
So to summarise- you believe that if Max is injured the Club plans to play Trac & Joel Smith in the ruck ! Not sure on what basis you dreamed that up but it is patently adsurd. You may as well say that if May is injured there is a left field plan to replace him with Oliver.

Jack Watts interview
The whole tragedy thing is absurd. The "High draft pick ruined by going to a dysfunctional Club" melodrama is pure BS. Lots of good players get picked by struggling Clubs & still succeed. Jack had his problems but eventually became a good player for us. If he had come to 2017 pre season better prepared instead of unfit he would now be a 200 plus game premiership player. Where he ended up was entirely of his own making.

Jack Watts interview
Some rewriting of history going on here by some posters. He actually got it together by 2016 & had become a really key player. Unfortunately he turned up for the 2017 pre season in poor shape & Goodie lost faith in him & his fate was sealed.

I'm almost getting nostalgic for Colin Flaubert's long winded historical lectures on morality 😴

Farewell Brodie Grundy
Every time there was a selection to be made Goodie & the BT took the conservative, stick to what has worked, option. There was a lack of boldness in our selections. Grundy & Woewodin should have played.

TMac & Brown
Hate to agree with someone referencing Tucker Carlson but spot on. Binmans post was total psychobabble, an impenetrable word salad worthy of the worst management speak. In any case a contract is a contract - both parties pay their money & take their chances. However I would be surprised if BBB plays next year.

Farewell Deakyn Smith
Yes spot on looked really terrific early on but went backwards.
