    Redleg are you now confident we have a lock on third last?

    Not yet. About 10PM saturday I might be. I think we need Swans to beat Cats and North to not kill GWS. Then I would be. Or if Cats win but WCE lose then North smashes GWS I would be.

    I have been telling you we are home for weeks.

    Nothing in the last month has suggested otherwise.

    You are right of course, but with this club unless something is set in stone, it can't be guaranteed.

    I hope this is the last time I want us to lose a game.

    For the readers of this thread I will pass on a conversation I had with our President recently. I told him that I and most other Dees supporters, are furious at our treatment in the media this year. Sheahan, Denham, Roos, Smith, Robbo, Warner and others have slammed us mercilessly. Even attacking us for having our players in their blazers at Jim's funeral. While criticism of our onfield efforts is warranted , what is not are comments like those from Sheahan that " we are a disgusting and pathetic club". That comment basically covers every employee and supporter of the club. In all my years of following footy, I think that is the lowest comment I have heard about us and it came from a so called supporter.

    In light of the above, I asked Don, after the tanking inquiry result is published and assuming we are cleared, would he go on the offensive, as best he could against our detractors, bearing in mind we need the media as well. I told him we needed to stand up and be seen to be defending our club. He agreed and said that would happen. I await his response with great anticipation.

    PS. I will never forgive Sheahan for those comments and hope to see him somewhere, where he will learn of my displeasure.

    Believe it or not redleg I have never ever wanted to lose a game.

    I went home from the infamous Richmond game filthy we lost.

    I am very often resigned to losing but i always want to win.

    Even this weekend I want to win and I don't care what it does to our draft pick position.

    I can think of nothing better than to win the last game of 2012

    How disappointing is it, that I am looking forward to the trading and drafting, more than I looked forward to about the last 80% of this season?

    hell thats been me for the last...oh dont know... a long long time lol

    Actually it all Ive really been looking forward too this year. I knew the season proper would be painful. ..But theyre grwoing pains as such. Things are getting better its just theres little outward manifestation of this. That I hope will show in season 2013. This season been embryonic.

    I wont particulalry cruel any of the previous treade/draftings of the last say half dozen years but i seriously question whether the club had a good plan to work to. If you design a strategy ( thats rubbish ) an follow it then you are at least true to its cause if flawed in its makeup. This is what I sense happened. They though X and sought X. We now realise that X was at least 75% wrong and we actually need Y. Y? because we do :)

    Given 5 mins to work with ( figurately ) Neeld and Co showed more insight and relevance to our needs , let alone ability to achieve, than the FD had for quite some while. Given theyve had a good yea rto plan ths next phase of taent attack and armed with what by all accounts is a fair dinkum wallet I fervently hope there will be some clever and impacting enlistments come this EOS silly circus.

    Its like we were just mucking around before, and now we're serious.

    Well I would hope that with 3 and 4 we might get a Toumpas and an U17 and I am pretty sure they should be ok.

    I thought the followers of this thread whose hearts and minds are set in that wonderful era of the late 50s and early 60s might appreciate knowing about the passing of another icon.

    Vale dear friend.

    He could not have been 80 WJ surely

    Thanks for that but I just now feel older again.

    Come on Dees give us some wins I am running out of years

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
