I remember last pre season being a time of great change and hope. A new coach was being talked up as the next super coach. A high profile (the highest at the time) player defecting from the Lions and Dockers to come to the promised land. New resources being pumped into the club so that player development was assured. Fantastic facilities being better than previous premiers/grand finalist. A list of potentialled high draft picks. Previous coaches lamenting opportunities saying finals football was a given. A club profit used on front ending contracts. One of the highest sponsorship in the league

And...... all i got was, do i need to re live this year. its too depresing to reflect

You are not Robinson Crusoe mate

There are lot feeling exactly the same way

 

Doesnt bode well for the predicted massive changes predicted this pre season. Still i will get excited if the changes are made. Pre season is every Demons fan season given the recent results over autumn ans winter

And in pre season we don't lose too many games.

Easily the best time of the year for a dees supporter.

Between September and February we get new coaches, new facilities, new draftees all of whom are going to be world beaters and we cannot believe they slipped through to us. No one gets a serious injury and all last years injured are recovering well from their surgery and training the house down.

And as you suggest Redleg we are yet to lose a game.

Certainly the best time of the football year for me

Iconic Princess running at Geelong 3.15. May need the run. Coming back from injury. We will see. Ridden by, wait for it, Danny Nikolic.

Sunset Prince first start in the first at Tatura saturday.

How did Danny go?

He didn't fall off. She will be better for the run.

If we could expand the title of the thread to include no tanking we'd effectively hit two birds with one stone. That of AFL and Racing.

Pretty soon all would be left for discussion would be bananas.

Unless you are prepared to sign a stat dec i suggest you lay off the bananas

A Freo win today and loss to North next week could see them tied with the Blues going into the last round. If the Blues have a big win next week against GC, it might come down to us losing by a big margin to Freo in Perth as to whether the Blues make the 8. I would be praying for a Saints win over the Blues and if that didn't happen I would be happy to see us have a big loss to Freo, if it kept the Blues out. Freo still need to get the job done today of course. Could be an interesting weekend in the final round.

We are going to win this one Redleg

Thought you said we couldn't win the last two.

The only drawback there is that Carlton play after us - they'll know what they need to do. Still think Saints will beat them anyway.

I even have a sneaky feeling about Freo next weekend.

Problem is that Saints are considering putting Reiwoldt out for the year. That is a sign to the team that they have conceded and then the hunger goes for the players. Don't think they could beat Blues in that situation. Also Blues % will be so much higher than Freo next week after they smash GC. Only hope seems to be Freo beating North and then us.


I think North played a mini grand final last night and are due for a bit of a lull (Adelaide last night perhaps?) and Freo haven't been too bad in Melbourne this year.

I wouldn't put it past them. We'll have a clearer picture next Sunday night, but you're right - it'll likely come down to Freo needing to drub us to make it. Which is ok because they will.

Thought you said we couldn't win the last two.

Just a small amount of stirring Redleg.

I have been telling you for weeks we had third last locked in and nothing I have seen in the past month suggests otherwise.

Based on yesterdays performance I reckon the last two games will be 10 goal losses.

Our late President says we didn't tank and that no instruction to tank was ever given, but that rather we took advantage of a system, that he didn't agree with anyway. His captain concurs and said the MFC didn't tank while he was there, which was during the relevant period. We have heard another player PJ, say that we didn't tank. Our coach has previously said that he coached to assist the development of the club and in the interests of the club. He never said we tanked. The club was investigated then and cleared. Brock McLean never said we tanked but rather experimented. The AFL don't believe tanking exists. Surely this will end positively for us soon.

You would think so

However the way 2012 has played out I will be concerned until the result is known.

At least the media is on about Essendon and Footscray this week.

Is Melbourne FC bashing, waning as an exciting topic?

Well at least there is a bit more variety.

The best news from next weekend will be when WCE beat the Pies .

The knives will really be out then for Dawes and Cloke.

5 goals to Darling will probably get a fair airing as well!

Spoke to Rory Taggert last night. I just like this kid and have a real good feeling about him. He is tough, quick and an elite kick. Grimes agreed that he could be a really good player. Grimes is also a rap for Tynan. We might have grabbed a couple of good kids.

I really hope so they have been few and far between in the last ten years Redleg

How is RT's back any news fit to print

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
