    I think the yardstick should be around 70 points

    I fear though it will be a lot less

    Still, I live in hope we can break our lethargy and have a BIG win

    What would happen if we lost by 45 points?

    We will not be very happy.

    Demonland will explode.

    I will not be going to work next week.

    We will definately not be playing finals football this year.

    Lets set 'par' at +60 points. 20 points per stroke. I hope for a birdie (80 points) or an eagle (100 points). However, we haven't played this course before, so would settle for par. Then into the 19th hole (the bye). However...If we get a triple bogey its a draw. A quadruple bogey and they win by 20!

    We don't play 4 quarters, so how can we expect to thrash anyone? Dees by 3-4 goals.

    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:

    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.

    75+

    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!

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
