    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.

    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: 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
