We need to watch Lade and brogan. Considering what McIntosh and Fraser have done to us in the first two rounds. We cannot let this happen for the 3rd time in a row. I predict a even first half then the power will put on the pedal in the 3rd and run away with it in the last. If we are even in the first half, we have to make sure we mantain even for the rest of the match to give ourselves a chance.

With such a young list and a lot of new players, what are your expectations for the game against Port on Sunday? Everyone is expecting us to get beat by 10+goals, but i find it hard to think that losing by less 10 goals can be an achievement. For me i want to see a competitive 4 qtr match. Against Kangaroos we were for 3 qrts and against the scum we were for a half. This week i would like us to stick with our opponents for the whole match!! No more getting outscored 7 goals to 1 in a quarter! Also kicking more than 10 goals would be nice, but then again beggars cant be choosers:p!

Port on rebound after thrashing last week could be 80+ points

Dean Cox dominated the rucks today for WCE getting more than 20 disposals and more than 20 hit outs and his team nearly lost by 100 points.

A one man effort doesn`t win a game of football.

However if the whole team are playing well, then that one man effort can be a match winner

My expectations are simply that the boys play is entertaining. IN that I mean that they have a real dip, putting the body on the line when it's their turn, do the team things, one percenters, not overuse the pill, stay composed, & use the ball with thought. More progress for us success starved supporters.

When you are as young and raw as we are, you have to be process driven; break even in contested possies, clearances, and tackles.

If they do that I'll be happy. They have more polish and will probably win but it will augur well when we have more developed bodies and a forward line.

more goals but more importantly play like the players did much like the essendon players did last night by taking the game on and each player going head to head with their direct opponent and having a red hot go!!

I don't believe Bailey or the players have any expectation of winning - that's just my opinion.

And as ridiculous as it is you're entitled to it.

Robert Flower played 272 games. He played in 1981 when we won one game. He played in arguably the worst era through the 70's and 80's that this club has ever had, but he said recently that there was never an occasion when he ran onto the ground that he didn't expect to win.

I'm sure they know the challenge before them, but I'm equally certain that every player and coach expects to win. They shouldn't be at the club if they don't.

I reckon they should give Dunn a run in the forward line for some of the game and see if he can kick a couple of goals.

That`s where he played at the start of his career. Dunn has some versatility. He can be used in the midfield and defence for shut down roles, and can be used in the forward line. Has the ability to become an A grade player, but still has to prove it.

has an eternity to become an A grade player of the ilk of a Judd or Ablett or Hodge you will be waiting quite a while.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
