I for one have been guilty of some negativity around here, but mainly frustration, but today was a bloody rippa and my positive for today was Maxy Gawns effort on the HFF that set up Trenners goal, inspirational stuff like that will lift our young Dee's to greater things in the not to distant future.

One positive per post, lets c how many we can get.

YEEEEW

I really liked Jack Watts' game today. Another preseason and he will be taking 10+ marks per game. His vision and ground level skills is amazing for a 196cm key forward.

Jeremy Howe also impressed with his marking. 12 marks and great disposal is encouraging for a first year player. I am just waiting for him to take a hanger! He has really taken over Brad Miller's position, with the added bonus of solid field kicking and decision making.

Baileys recruiting and coaching .Anyone?

I actually think the players managed to play the way Bailey wants them to play (as they did against Essendon and Adelaide). Once they develop enough experience/game time, develop their skills further and grow into their bodies, they will be able to apply the same sort of pressure to the power teams like Collingwood and that is when we will see them vying for a flag... under coach Bailey!

Cudos to Bailey.

Just watched the coaching video from a few weeks ago again. Our Forward/Mids need to be super fit to win against top teams.

But when it works it can be very powerful.

I wasn't being sarcastic about switcher .I agree with nearly every decision he has made ( including Jmac) .The heat will be on if we keep turning in the second ( [censored] weeks) away games but he didn't go for short term options like days of yore .Brian Wilson ,Kelvin T , Peter Moore ,Jacko ,and all the other short term gratification moves we have made have failed badly .Can I get a bet on for 100-1 for 2013 flag?I'll have a hundred on it easy .

GAWN! Im telling you he is a cult hero already. So happy to see him kick his 1st goal and that pressure he applied to set up Trenners was awesome. Also he sat a few freo players on there backsides.

Howe- Awesome match and magnificent dtrong hands and kicked a couple

Green- Finally a captains game. He still missed a few that he would have got last year bit 5 goals is good and hopefully he can back it up

Watts- 24 possies or similar to that and kicked 3 goals and his use of the footy around the ground was great.

Stef Martin- 3 goals and great work around the ground and his ruck work

McKenzie- Just love him. His tackling, his pressure and isnt afraid to go in hard for the ball

Just everything about the match was great. We just need to come out and do the same stuff next week.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
