Yes North have had the wood on us.

So too have Hawthorn and it would be great to embarrass them the way they have embarrassed us early in the season of recent times.

A win at AAMI park as this is the particular venue that we struggle with the most....The crows would do nicely.

Collingwood on Queens Birthday, Carlton and St Kilda too.

Geelong always beat us up so that'd be nice to reverse.

Continued dominations over Richmond & Essendon. Get back at West Coast for the Dome game in 2010. And the Dockers at Subi too with a Jack Watts goal after the siren.

We owe the dogs one for their escape last year- perhaps with 50 possessions to Scully.

We've tamed the Lions, and would love to rip the heart out of Port in Darwin again.

Teach Gold Coast that they are nothing more than a glorified VFL team and finally another demolition of the Swans should just about do it....

That would be a pretty good season i think...

.... so... 22 wins for the season?

    What Dome game against West Coast ? I must have missed that one !

    If GSOAG means the Eagles game at the G this year, and I very much assume he does, then I completely agree.

    That was the worst we played this year, and I would love to see us ruthlessly slaughter them on a ground we don't particularly like.

    As an aside, I think it's funny that you can't spell slaughter without laughter. Also illustrates the joys of teaching - those words make competely different sounds!

    Yeah....then unbeaten through the finals towards our 13th flag...

    It's about as realistic as hutchy's tweet!

    Whoops, i got on such a roll i got my venues mixed up- yes indeed i meant the game at the G.

    It reminded me of 2008/09. It also made me want to check out any betting record fluctuations :huh: I wasn't expecting that performace on that particular day. For me it was the worst game for 2010 that left me scratching my head in frustration leaving the G. IIRC the build up here was Nik Nat v Watts.

    Interesting observation on slaughter/laughter. I'd dearly love to experience both over the Eagles...for the next decade.

    We made Priddis look like Ablett in that game.

    It could easily have been a calculated error, in that he only hits his targets by foot 22 out 100 times.

    We gave him more room to get the footy & make errors (as some speculate the opposition did with us & Bruce) but unfortunately Priddis used up his full quota of precise kicks against us...

    Shame neither of them did anything!

    Yeah, if we're going to improve in 2011 we can't afford to drop games like the West Coast one and we need to win the 8 point games and beat teams like North who might stand in our way of making the finals.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
