    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

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
