    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

    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

  • Quote

    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!

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
