1 wish. I want to be surprised. So far this year we have won the games we all thought we would and lost the ones we thought we would. Show us some sort of youthful energy and take a scalp. Give us supporters some hope that we aren't going to be ordinary forever.

It's difficult to be surprised, when we're all so in touch with whats going on re the list newbies, but also with what we need and what the players shortcomings are....

But we have been surprised, I guess some by Martins rise, and for me Tapscotts immediate arrival, plus Bails game & Nicholson & Evans...

I look forward to Gysberts putting on some much needed upper body strength.

And hopefully Bennell showing some real aggression at the contest, and standing his ground when challenged.

    1. Consistency

    2. Certain 'leaders' to actually show some leadership. All we need is 4 more wins and we're a chance to make the 8. You wouldn't know it by the way some of the senior players are traveling at the moment.

    3. A melee against either Geelong, Carlton or W.C. I don't think we'll win any of the games, but I will be happy so long as we're competitive and show a bit of fight. Make them earn the 4 points FFS!!

    4. Win the last 3 games and win comfortably. I think we're all just expecting these games to be easy wins, but can you imagine whats gunna be said on this site if manage to only win, say, one of the games...?

    5. Finish the season off ahead of Essendon on the ladder.

    6. Aaron Davey to show a bit of form. He's been one of our best players through such a woeful period in the clubs history. Has had a terrible season and been criticised greatly. Would absolutely love to see him come back and just kick a few goals playing in a pocket.

    Our players get more games experience.

    Our players develop more self belief.

    Our players get stronger.

    Colin Sylvia re-signs.

    We don't lose by more than 6 goals for the rest of the season.

    We beat West Coke at Etihad.

    1. Finish off the season with 6 really good games, and 4 wins.

    2. The upset being a flogging of Carlscum........................Moloney to rip Robinson's head off!

    3. Blease to play out at least the last 3-4 games.

    4. 10 goals in a game between Jack and Liam

    5. Tapscott to hurt an opposition player every week......and i mean HURT!

    6. Our players to feel the pain of missing the finals because their inconsistent efforts should not be rewarded and so that they learn the hard lessons on what it actually takes to be a decent team in this competition and EARN a finals spot! (And therefore have the pre-season from hell as a launching pad)!!!!!!!!!!

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.
