nice of him to say that and in the long term it may be true (hope so)

But is just a little mind games to get our boys to not focus on the game at hand..

Did anyone read Inside Football today?

On the first page one of their main writers (they all get to make 3 dot points in "what we learned this week in footy"), wrote...

"The demons will have won more flags than any club by 2020."

Which mean we will have had to have won 5 in the next 10 years. And the Blues and Dons would have to win none.

It appears the lid is off, and we're only just out of the bottom 4...

This is gonna hurt when we show the first signs of losing form.

I wonder what Dee supporters and seasoned observers were thinking in 1954???

WHERE THE FECK DO I SIGN?

I'd sell my soul for just the one.

I hope you get that soul back like Bart did...you could re-sell it

In Monday's HUN Mike Sheahan wrote that 'the nucleus of the next AFL power was on show', and on 'ON the Couch' he went on to say that the Dee's should be aiming for a top six spot next season. There is a lot of positivity in the media surrounding the team at the moment, and I'm feeling right proud of my team at the moment.

Here's the article from Monday's Herald Sun:

Mike sheahan writing easy articles again....He is so dull.

If Brisbane roll us this weekend-and they are at home, so thus favorites in my view that article means nothing whatsoever.

Good to see you are such a cutting edge Journo Mike..Please Retire soon.

Given that Brisbane go in as favourites then it will be disappointing but not unexpected that MFC lose.

However that should have nothing to do with the LT optimism shown by the journalists.

What they have said should stand regardless of the weekends outcome.

But it won't RR that's the point. If the Bears beat us this weekend we will get Caned by the Media next week for not being able to win away from home, which would make Sheahan's words totally false.

Hey i hope we do win and get rid of this interstate Timidity, but Sheahan's articles are so predictable-He has been writing like that for years-After the event, and never before.

Right so on one hand it wont but then the Media will say something that makes Sheahan's words totally false....which means it will.

Who gives a flying fossil what the media says after the game? Its means little for MFC's long term future when the dust settles.

Sheahan's article are based on a review of the weekend past. If you want footy tips for weekend the HS and Age publish them on Fridays.

That's what i am saying, and why Mike Sheahan's articles are so Dull. Other Journalist's use colour and Psychology in their "wash up" articles of the weekend. Mike just uses stats, which are becoming less and less relevant in a game.

Colour and psychology in AFL media articles...good grief.

And shame on Sheahan for using stats and not pretty pictures.

At least he is not wearing Collingwood jumpers on the front page - see Rohan Connolly in The Age.

For those that may be unaware Mike Sheahan is/was a Demon supporter. He is quick to write positive articles about us in that Monday write up.

Dennis Commetti certainly is. Asked Jimmy for a membership form on the TV coverage last week.

Did Jimmy ask for $5K from Dennis ? (light heartedly)

I was told that Dennis is a Melbourne supporter. Not too sure of this although he doesn't hide his admiration for Bob Johnson and the players of that era. Always been pretty positive towards us as a commentator.

But Rohan Conolly barracks for Essendon, so that just shows how fried his Brain is!!!

Ahh that Article he wrote on James Hird last year still makes me laugh- He must have copped such a hammering over that!

Isn't he a West Coast fan? He may even live over there.

Isn't he a West Coast fan? He may even live over there.

But did he coach the Perth Demons?? I am not sure, he did coach at WAFL level

Isn't he a West Coast fan? He may even live over there.

Yes he does live in perth as he keeps calling WA home, also yes definitely a WCE supporter, but I have also heard he is a Dees supporter as well, also heard the same thing about Sheahan, in fact i remember reading something about sheahan wishing he played for melbourne once upon a time.

Remember an interesting story I heard, from someone in the know, about a youg Fev and another star player turning up on Commetti's doorstep in Perth very early one morning after a session, giggling like schoolgirls...

If youre all worried now.......what happens when we really are...pretty good !!!

We're all so used to us being ...also rans... we need to learn a new creed...and to feel comfortable with it.

We're Melbourne... and we're good

Yeah! Bring on those endangered [censored].

The Tiger Hunt Begins...
