Recommended Posts

i hope your rite mate, but after sundays game you have to wonder, they couldv made changes to lose that game, they chose not to,he coached 30 odd games, how many times as he been in front 3/4 time,its a major concern, when hes in front at 3/4 time

hes bloods rushing,and he wants to win.

As I see it:

1.Geelong beat us by around 50 points

2.Bailey makes 4 changes to the squad for Sydney, unsettled team loses marginly to the Swans

3. Over the following 3 weeks various senior players are sent off for season ending surgery.

4. The likes of Newton, Bail, Mckenzie, NcNamara, Buckley, PJ, Whelan, Bartram, Valenti, maybe Hughes are all mow playing seniors, ensuring us more narrow losses.

5. For good measure Bruce, Davey, Green, Jones all sit on the bench for extended periods leaving some tired legs on the ground.

6. Grimes played deep in defence to limit his ability to damage opposition, Morton also continued to be played back, Davey played deep forward.

7. End result, probably one win, but possibly none

8. Tom Scully and pick 2 to the Demons.

Well root it, you're a ripper!

A spot of surgery for a few of them eh? Just what do you have in mind-a vasectomy for a few to ensure that in 2012 they're not being kept awake at night, stomach tuck for Morton to ensure he doesn't develop a big gut,electric shock treatment for Col Sylvia so he can keep his mind on the job, a spinal stretch for Valenti to make him a ruckman/ Just who NEEDS surgery?

Must say the tankers will be upset by the team announced for Saturday-the very game we need more taggers we bring back Bartram. Sounds about right to me!

:lol::lol:

Bruce - Hair transplant - Yeah-Yeah. - season

Green - Right foot surgically attached - 6 weeks

PJ - 360 degree castors sewn on to feet - 1 week, but another 6 to get alignment right.

Bell - rear view mirrors attached to forehead - 6 weeks, hindsight is difficult to adjust to.

Robbo - tattoos on forearms, must chase opponent when they've the ball.

I'm a big fan of the shock treatment for Colin. That roundhouse was the dumbest thing he has ever done, and that's saying something.

Roost It is being more than a tad flippant, but I would be very suprised if DB and CC don't do similar things leading into the Richmond and NM games.

And Jack The Ripper, Bailey seems to me to be very comfortable. Even before the WCE and PA return to some semblance of form, I wanted Bailey to have an extra year put on his contract at the end of this season to give him two years to bring the Demons up the ladder. He will try to do what's best for the club.

Tell me what is flippant about my post. Don't you think this is pretty much what will happen? I'd be surprised if I wasn't on the money with each of my 8 points. I'd be interested to see where you disagree.

Marginal losses are a bit much, we're still not a great team by any means.

Completed dominated the game against Port for a less than 2 goal win and West Coast obviously struggle interstate and yet they still had more scoring shots and inside 50s.

We should beat Freo at the 'G, North Melbourne always match up well on us and clean us out, the real danger game is against Richmond, can't imagine Jade Rawlings wanting to lose so he should get that one, in fact, an article today about him saying he wants the top job next year...

I recon newton is a good chance.

Also i think mckenzie will debut soonish.

Also valenti surely should get a crack soon, but you no how it is.

    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
