Don't know if it was the last time, but I was there when Melbourne smashed Carlton by 105 points in 2004, round 6. They beat us by 5 goals in round 21 later that year.

Bruce kicked 7 goals in that match... :blink:

What would happen if we lost by 45 points?

This forum would implode for one. In all seriousness, if this were to occur, the whole playing group should hang their hands in shame. Bailey should start looking for a new job too. The team needs to show some grunt and show the football world they are not soft and easy targets. The fact that many people see Melbourne as the Suns' first possible win only highlights the poor perception this club has from non-supporters (and some supporters mind you).

Cannot see it happening.

I think we'll start well (no I have not been drinking) and it's easier to bypass CHF at the Gabba - where we've been breaking down.

Once it's in the suns d50 they'll struggle. Once we're on top they'll panic, we're fitter and will run it out.

Our skills will be sharpened after two wet slogs and conditions will be suited to our flashy softies.

However I like Dappa Dan's view in another thread that struggling for a 2 goal win would be a better result.

The last thing this team needs is to feel comfortable after flogging the easy beats and enjoy a week off. We have a healthy list that should do everything possible to improve over the bye and prepare better than they ever have for the trip West.

We need a big enough win to at least push our percentage above 100. At the moment it is well blow our rivals for the top 8. We need to correct that going into the tougher part of the season after the bye

By 37 points. But I will be over the moon with another win. They feel they can beat us and they are an improving side and be at home.

weve played at the gabba more times then they have

Actually I think a solid loss would be the best thing for the club at the moment. Turn the heat to full and see how the club as a whole responds in the ensuing 8 weeks.

if we loose bailey must resign, simple as that. the ground has no bearing on the game, my mates tell they will win 5-6 games this year. they are a good three years devolopment wise behind last years wooden spooners. then someone tells me they have some good kids, yeah....well so do we, and some of ours are just starting to find their feet.

Absolutely, there is nothing better for a football club than a loss :rolleyes:

The mind boggles!

perticularly after a close win over the Lions. I would just be happy for a win, a four quarter performance would be what the coaching staff would want. Moloney for bog.

Yeah we were supposed to build on our percentage last week too! And that didn't go to plan.. You're dead right though much easier to make up percentage now, than later on. Big win needed!

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
