Well there is one player who I won't have to watch in the red and blue this year.

Universally, everyone's worst on the game day thread.

I would rather play one short, at least that way there are less turnovers.

OMG we have recruited Mark Neeld to play for us!!!!!!!!

    Not universally if you consider dream team points from the game. Player X finished just in the top half equal with Jimmy Toumpas and ahead of the co-captain who you sponsor Redleg. And well ahead of the likes of Tom McDonald and Sam Blease not to mention youngsters like Dom Barry and Max King. Contrary to popular misconception, statistics don't lie.

    And people who relied on them got us into the trouble we were in.

    According to the statistics, we should dump all of those named players and keep X.

    Dream team points!!!!!!!!!!!

    So that is all you have to hang your hat on WJ

    For a x premiership player he should be out leading the band not being to compared kids making the way at the start of their careers.

    The guy is so far over the hill he cannot be seen with a telescope.

    God deliver us.

    Funny thing is I don't even own a hat.

    Dream team points is one thing and his skills on the ground are another. He set up a couple of goals and didn't constantly turn over the ball as much as a few others and I hope your eyesight improves.

    No pain for me so far DF

    If anything they are ahead of my expectations.

    In the last seven years we have never been remotely close to the cats.

    I know they had a number out from their best but so did we.

    We are starting 2014 from the pit lane

    That said we still have a large number of VFL standard players and Byrnes is the leader of the pack.

    We are heading the right way IMO

    With the exception of the super claimant WJ I agree with your other comments.

    I see improvement already on the twin troughs of 2012 /13.

    There are still some better players to come in and as someone else said I get the feeling I will be able to go to most games in 2014 feeling we have a chance.

    PS The eye sight is fine particularly when I open both!

    No, he doesn't wear 10. The legend goes that he's so ancient that has to wear the Roman numeral on the back of his guernsey.

    Coming around WJ ?

    I won't stand for lies on this thread. Unless you lease the hats you wear, or borrow them from MRS. WJ, they must be your hats that I have seen you in. BTW, they are pretty ordinary hats.

    I have mixed feeling about this.

    But after a seven year rebuild I will be satisfied with nothing less then a Premiership or three.

    Correct me if I am wrong but is not Byrnes a dual Premiership player?

    Well at least one of my teams won a Premiership in 2013.

    Nothing better then watching your team win a flag against one of your most hated teams.

    Caps are not hats.

    Mind you, talking about stuff you borrow from the missus, I must say the dress you wore at lunchtime on Wednesday was quite captivating.

    I was doing undercover at the Gat for the Fed Police. Now you have blown it. You may be liable to charges.

    BTW I think the off the shoulder look suits me.

    Believe it or not most came from my father and are only stored in the grey matter.

    They are probably going to fade with me R and B.

    Here's one to ponder OD. The saints look ordinary. Now imagine your player X lining up in round 1. He happens to be in the right place at the time at the feet of Hogan and/or Dawes and snags 3 or 4. He'll be in for the next 6 weeks!

    • 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.
