    Only Flag-unveiling Friday.

    Note 1: I'm assuning the first round of 2015 is a Friday night home game.

    Note 2: I'm assuming we win the flag in 2014.

    Note 3: Please realise I am taking a dig out of those that are placing so much importance in what happens in 2011...

    I hear where you're coming from WYL. Don't mean to belittle your post. But sometimes I really do wonder about all this footy industry gobbledygook.

    I just want to see our players put their head over the footy and show some appetite for the contest for a full match.

    They will mate, but at the moment it is YEAR 12 v YEAR 7.

    Hawthorn 8 Big Midfielders to Rotate...We the MFC had 2 Big Bodies...Those are the facts mate. The Board and the FD are well aware of all these things.

    That's why i want you to watch the above....I want a flag just as much as you do Buddy.

    Puts things into perspective nicely.

    Reality is another two years before we challenge seriously.

    Now how to apply Cams Premiership Model to my Ultimate Footy Rabble of a side?

    Some white flag stuff and weasel word excuses drier than a pommy's towel here. How long will it take to develop red blooded competative spirit and some heart? It certainly hasn't appeared so far this season. Must be next years target. Should we ask James Hird what's his secret for a quick fix?

    This post has:

    - an extremely negative description with a colourful metaphor;

    - a rhetorical question containing a putdown of a team after two games and ignoring last year completely;

    - a dismissive notion of the clubs planning for 2012;

    - another rhetorical question surrounding someone who has coached for two games.

    Honestly, why do you still post? You're not happy. Just end it.

    Go off to GWS Land. We know you're going. You're not happy here and at the Demonland Membership stall you didn't smile, so I can tell you're off...

    This "extremely negative description" as you put it was nothing less than our President said a few days ago.

    Thanks WYL

    That is invaluable, being an interstate member and not being around the club I am starved of this sort of analysis, relying on hack journalists and club propaganda for information. To be frank I often wonder if it is worth renewing my membership. This post suggests we are, at long last in good hands. It also reinforces my opinion that CS is a key player in our revival. I am eternally grateful.

    I won't be happy unless I see a red blooded go for a full 8 quarters to smash the bears and the upstarts in the next fortnight.

    If not, start minting the coin. No more honeymoon for Bailey.

    Tails for Roos

    Heads for Malthouse

    Can't lose either way.

    I am sure CS and Jimmy and Dean expect victory over the next 2 weeks as well...But what is your long term plan to "Fast Track" our kiddies when our average games is only 54 at seasons start?

    Magic wand is not the answer, or yelling.!

    You want Bailey to fail.

    "Fast tracking" all the timidity out of our game would be a good start and target to win a measly 3 more games than last season. Is that too much to ask for? I don't accept that we have to bring up our average games to 70 odd and still be playing like 2009.

    I was a fan of Bailey but he's lost me in the past couple of months. I'm starting to wonder if he has the full confidence of the playing group. So far they don't play like they have IMO.

    my opinion - blah !!

    Geez I was about to post I hope it's not another analysis on games played, age of playing group, being too far back in rebuilding phase etc but thought no don't be cynical before I watch it.... but it was !!

    What I see hear means little. great for off the field we are developing nice reports etc but I am sick of hearing reasons why we cannot put up some sort of show against a Hawthorn.

    What should we do ? play with some mongrel, attack the opposition ruthlessly. Compare say a North who have had less draft concessions than us but to me they have more guts and much more fight. forget what happened on the weekend or recent record, for the last 20 years I have said I would be happy to pay and watch my side if they put in like Noth week in week out. We DO NOT.

    We have a shocking front running record ever since Balme to Daniher till now and the time is now for Bailey to do more than just be 'competitive' as Schwab put it.

    Any coach worth his salt would have finals as a minimum pass mark this year. We have over half the side this Saturday being top 20 draft picks against a decimated lions side. I would expect us to trounce them into the turf after last weeks game. They should be dreading playing us.

    I know a lot like Schwab, but I find his style uninspiring and his theoretical talk of little practical use than to try and feel better for not being competitive. His personal loan of $140,000 does not help either.

    Fair enough, but the AFL is a dam tough comp as we all know, and game time experience and training are all part of it.

    I want the team to play 4 Quarters of contested footy too, but while kids are learning the Senior level it is not always going to happen.

    What i saw in the 2nd Quarter last sunday is what we need to aspire to (As the whiteboard video stated)

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      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?
