Cant go tomorrow, taking my little boy to swimming in the morning. Might be able to make it late into the session.

lol, I love the softy "Go Bombers" in the background of the Essendon press conference.

Virgin Money.. One could say this would be a fresh start?

Thanks for clarifying , I was not sure if he had offered prior to the resignation.

I am unsure if this has been touched on. Has the Ox offered his services like this prior to Schwab resigning/sacked from the club, there is nothing negative towards Ox on this post. I find it interesting that Ox has offered his services no more than 24 hours post Schwab resigning/sacked.

These blokes on SEN are making me feel sick. They are defending Essendon, and being so gentle on them, it is disgusting. If this was Melbourne, the drilling that Melbourne would be receiving in unfathomable. Why does the media HATE Melbourne so much? I do not get it, what have Melbourne done that has hurt the media that much?

Don McLardy has said that he is in it for the long haul, we will see how this pans out.

I just love whenever Matt Thompson is talking to the camera people behind him are trying to get on camera by acting "naturally". I love how Neeld did not want to speak to the reporters.

How is Neeld the problem, better yet HOW do you know Neeld is the problem?

Casey Scorpions & Melbourne Demons are supposedly playing the same game plan. Casey had a sizeable win on the weekend. The gameplan works, the players understand it, the seniors just need to execute it. Casey Scorpions 8.2.50 14.4.88 19.8.122 23.11.149 Frankston 6.3.39 8.5.53 10.8.68 12.9.81

He is conducting himself very professionally.

Supposedly, every drug they took was consulted with ASADA and WADA... If this were true, then why are they being investigated. Why is the AFL drafting a contingency plan when/if found guilty of injecting. They are without a doubt in trouble, I just home the findings come in soon. I would hate the guilty verdict to com in at seasons end.

Watts?

Are you saying you want both players in against WC? Magner is a Rookie.

... now for the president and Brian Royal to tender their resignation. Also, I feel like [censored] slapping Caro... [censored] slap for a [censored].

Just heard on SEN Schwab just got a sleeve tattoo. Are they joking or what?

It is hard to pick which players to leave out against WC, would not want to see more than 4 changes. Out: -Gillies - He has showed very little in the first two games to retain his position (he does not play a structural part in the side, as the side currently has no structure) -Toumpas - I will only leave him out as he is taking these losses to heart (heart, that many of our players do not have atm), playing a few games @ Casey will help with his confidence and will be able to assist with his development without crushing his spirits in disastrous losses. If Melbourne eventually come to fruition in 2-3 years, he will play a vital role. Very important long term player. - Sylvia - I have no respect for Sylvia, senior player showing no on field leadership, does not chase, does not tackle, and does not act like a senior player. - Rodan - He has not shown much on field (neither has many of the other players), however, more is expected from a senior head. In: - Spencer - Surely he will play with more intensity than Jamar, watching him at Casey a few times, he chases and tackles and loves the contact. He and Jamar can rest in the forward line. Spencer will play like it is his last game, Jamar plays as though his position is not on the line. - McKenzie - hard head required - Kent - I liked him during the preseason and I think he will provide that little spark that is sorely needed - Bail (Sub) - he may not be 100% fit, but I like the way he goes about it. Emerg: - Pederson - May need to play a role down back due to WC's talls - Jetta - If he plays well for Casey this week, he should come in for the GWS game, he is playing well as a forward and defender, consistency should earn a senior call up. - Dunn - Only play if a forward is required, do not like him in defence Magner & Couch seem to be playing very well in the VFL, surely if they continue this form throughout the season then they HAVE earned a promotion in this years draft. Consistency deserves recognition, I am surprised both were overlooked last year to be elevated to the senior list. Max Gawn - as much as I would love him to come straight in he does need 2-3 weeks to build match fitness, once that is achieved he should play the remaining rounds. Aaron Davey - keep him in, it seems as though he has turned over a leaf and just needs to play 4 quarters, not the only player needed to play 4 quarters. Jack Watts - to play up forward AND stay up forward, he is not a defender. James Sellar - can sit in defence as talls are needed against WC's talls Luke Tapscott - play 2 more games at Casey, if consistency is required from the players then this is the best way to prove it. Replicate this performance and he deserves a spot in the 22 Jack Grimes - Play him out of defence Backs: Frawley, Garland, McDonald, Nicholson, Grimes, Terlich Mids: Viney, N Jones, M Jones, McKenzie, Trengove Ruck: Jamar Forwards: Clark, Watts, Howe, Davey, Blease, Byrnes Int: Spencer, Kent, Sellar, Bail (Sub)

The game against Essendon was the straw that broke the camels back. Watching the Demons just capitulate season after season, watching the players play with zero confidence, hearing all the rumors about division inside the club, watching players leave (not happy Scully left) is heart breaking & draining. It was and is making me feel ill inside. Writing that I would send back my membership and allowing my son to decide who he wants to follow when he is ready, was/is a ridiculous comment made in the heat of the moment. I was looking for my jogging beanie & gloves (yep im back to night running again) last night and found a box of my old demon merchandise. I found my membership scarfs and was immediately flooded with the good memories of the seasons past. I recall the glorious win over Sydney Swans, the come back against Freo @ the G with young Aussie celebrating his goals, The close win against the Crows where the Crows were depleted on the bench, and many more. I came to the realisation that, no matter what happens now, I will always hold the memories that count, and they are the ones that count. And they are the memories I want my son to have with the Demons My initial post was & is a disgrace, please accept my apologies for my ridiculous comments & all that I had offended.

MFC = Coach Killer

Yep, he impressed me. I like the look of Jones.

One can only hope.

He has been like this for a while now, yet he still gets games.

They have been trying to play consistent for the past 7 years, only to fail time after time.

Lets not forget about Mr. Potential. He better be dropped next week, Kent can take his spot.
