5/10 seems pretty fair. And in all honesty who would know better?? we're off and running but a long ways to go . Its about the slimmest of passes acknowledging we are on the way up and deserve the accolade asociated with this but its really saying..any less and we'd be failing and thats just about where we are.

Succint and accurate Bails.. 5/10 it is

    I agree I think his is fairly accurate. Our success rate is only 38% add a bit for the game we lost because of bloddy pink umpires

    and 5/10 looks good to me.

    I am however fearful for the next ten games, we have to win on the weekend. This is a team below us with a poor side we must win this one wether it is in Adelaide or not.

    In front at quarter time is in my opinion the key, only the very best sides can give starts and still win and we are far from one of the best sides at present.

    In this second half of the season only wins count. No more honourable losses!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Im going to suggest that the next half isnt so much about simplistic win /lose but more about efforts and quarters. It will be more about individuals and their tasks, and keeping to them. it wont be purely about the scoreboard. bailey isnt too worried about the myopic ideal of simply winning games at present. it wil be about the mehtods and applications. Itll be about game time into as many legs as possible, building depth and belief. Sometimes you can win ..but tread over the role assigned. its a short term buzz but nothing learnt. I sense Bailey is more about longer term goals. were not trying to impact the finals this year. we're trying to learn consistency. Trying to learn application to tasks for 4 qtrs.

    Stop thinking its all about the umpires..if you think they are the difference your way off. A good team will win regardless

    While most of what you say is true.

    It is about winning.

    We won 4 games last year and tanked out of at least 3. Potential 7 wins last year.

    Anything less than 8 - 9 wins is in my opinion another bottom six result.

    Bailey says 4.5 wins in barely a pass mark.

    I agree with him.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
