    1 run to go......i'm getting nervous

    A walk in the park Dc

    However I notice that the interest in Demonland threads has dropped quite a bit in the last couple of weeks.

    by the way what happened to Dr. Who?

    vanished!

    So some good things have happened this year.

    On a different note, Jack Fitzpatrick has been getting better each week and is now kicking a few goals each game. He is moving well and starting to really look much more confident in his game. He has also filled out considerably and with a good pre season, I believe we will have another big strong versatile player. Much like Martin he can play ruck or key forward and he has pace as well. With Gawn they look like our future big man department and not to forget we have a another huge player at full forward in Clark.

    Well that is what our draft picks and our trades will be all about, except maybe for an Under 17 pick who may be a big key forward.

    Is Cook now Gawn Redleg?

    If you cannot make the Casey firsts the future looks fairly bleak IMO

    I think we will keep him for one more year in hope, as it would be too much of an embarrassment to admit we stuffed up with pick 12 . There are enough others who have had a chance and been found wanting who will go first. If he gets another year he will have to show something or he will be gone. It has been suggested to me that we might delist and rookie him. No danger of anyone else grabbing him.

    I know there are probably other examples but it beggars belief that a no. 12 draft pick could be considered for delisting after never playing a senior game

    and finishing there second year in the reserves.

    I smell an epic failure here

    Think I have given up DC at this point the only way for me is a good final series with Casey.

    However to do that you need to be in the senior side which he is struggling to do.

    Perhaps we are playing him at the wrong end of the ground!

    Could be worse, we could be playing him in the wrong sport.

    Oh my God I had not thought of that.

    Could we get a trade from Basketball for him?

    Our favourite Melbourne supporter sinks the boot in again. OTC monday he said "I guarantee Melbourne won't win a flag by 2030". If only we had more like him. It's like having a skunk for a pet.

    I doubt it is that good Redleg

    having said that I think the chance is not before 2020

    PS For me it has gone beyond winning a flag

    With 18 teams and the two new ones getting plenty of assistance for the next 20 years it will get very difficult to make a GF let alone win one

    I doubt it will happen in my life time.

    I will be happy if the MFC can improve to the point we are a powerful team that wins 2/3 of our games.

    That will make me a happy man.

    OD-"epic fail" is a young persons phrase.

    The standards of language are truly eroding when a man of your vintage begins to use such expressions.

    Dead right Biffen

    In spite of my best efforts i have slipped into the 21st century there.

    I will try harder in the future

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
