Cats (Skilled) Loss

Swans (Manuka) Loss

Richmond (MCG) Maybe win

Kangaroos (Ethiad) Loss

Fremantle (MCG) Win

Carlton (Ethiad) Loss

St Kilda (MCG) Loss

Lets get realistic people. 4 wins is likely, five wins possible, anymore unlikely.

That's the whole point - five wins is quite possible.

Recruiting Scully will sell memberships next year

Wining forgettable end of season games this year does nothing at all for our fortunes

I wonder what these boards will be like if the cats do us by 15 goals

I get the feeling that Bailey understands that it is just as important for the club to not win as it is for him to not say we are trying to not win.

I like your work.

Lets hope the MFC is as meticulous in its management of things over the next 5 weeks as you have been in your observations ;)

I Want Melbourne to win and to get the picks, but we cant have both, So all aboard the Tank Express.

Just honerable losses will do. Then get 1 and 2 picks and Look out next year.

What this shows is the AFL has to change this system.

Whether we win or lose, you know its....

If we win, some will be on suicide watch, if we get smashed, some will cry that we are terrible and should fold.

Either way, this board will be fun to moderate! :wacko:

Winning more than four games would be stupid, and pointless beating teams that arent trying or just a pack duds, what does that prove?

We must build the right foundation, in the long run what we will enjoy more that win or flashy skill of an elite midfeild hopefully.

Please dees dont be stupid.

I watched Bailey closely when he was on 'On the Couch' last night and I came away thinking that he's going to try to manage the best scenario for the club's future. He said all the right things from a PR perspective, but he also added that he's going to keep playing young players, as well as putting them in different positions as an education process, etc. I just got a very strong feeling that he knows how important it is not to win even though he couldn't say as much. Perhaps I was the only one that sensed it.

I definitely got that feeling too... They mentioned the word tanking, and he went on about playing players i different positions and giving the young blokes ago, almost as if they accused him of tanking...

I think Bails may be on the ball here, he still doesn't have total control though...

I will be ok with that, I think the cats will Fire Right up, apart from Tom Hawkins. He is a liability that the cats will rue in september, thus i will laugh!

No he doesn't, Nor does the Club as a whole. The Players running around the Paddock on the grass. Taking the Hits & Kicking the goals have the Final say.

Which basically makes all our discussions on here a load of HOT AIR!!!!!!

If we get Scully we shall deserve him. If not somebody else will & that is the Pure Fact.

It is hard to see the Shockers winning anything after Saturday's effort in adelaide..

Haha absolutely spot on!

I've said it before, but when Jim Stynes first appeared as president on Footy Classified, he said "we weren't allowed to tank."

Weren't allowed by who? Mark Webber? The principle of Auburn South Primary? Fantastic Furniture?

It's hard to imagine it means anything other than the AFL had been in Jim's ear "suggesting" it might go bad for the Demons if they tanked.

Since we are so heavily dependent on the AFL for assistance, would it not be conceivable that they have attached strings to the relative distribution fund?

And then there's the draw. "Tank and you get a rubbish draw." That one, of course, must be future-dated by several years since our draws are already rubbish.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
