    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

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
