Putting the reality bus aside for a minute, what do we want from the rest of 2012?

Isn't this the same as the other thread you just started "Win Them all"?, very confusing I must say.

Posted

curious to see (via the poll) what everyone else thinks. I'm keen on all 11 wins (unlikely I know).

Posted

What would I prefer?

I would prefer to go on a 15 game winning streak and win the flag but that is not 'putting aside the reality bus' - that is smoking the magic dream reefer.

This is a useless poll designed to prove a point and PRB, I like what you give, but you can have this poll back.

I am going to continue hoping for wins, analysing the games, and speculating on what might be in October and November.

I am THAT talented...

Interesting that your middle road, reality bus position is the least popular.

Interesting that your middle road, reality bus position is the least popular.

Why wouldn't it be?

It's the least enticing proposition.

One is a possible finals spot, the other is two garaunteed stars and Viney in the second round.

Reality (which is hardly a 'position') is more losses and possible use of a very good pick on a F/S prospect.

I would hope anyone silly enough to answer this poll doesn't select the reality 'position.'

Are we about winning games of footy or spending half a decade winning draft picks?

Everyone's over it, surely?

High draft picks haven't worked - debate the reasons elsewhere: poor picks, poor development, poor culture, poor leadership on and off field?

What we need is to regain a winning culture -- and the best way to do that is to start winning, aiming to win every game by as big a margin as possible. Play 100 per cent for 100 minutes, or as Barassi says 6000 seconds. No respite for our players nor their opponents.

In recent time we seem to have had more luck with higher draft picks than lower, that's what tanking has got us.

Win. Every game we can.

Win all 11 no doubt. As a supporter I want to see my team put in a solid 4 quarter effort every week and create a winning culture around the club, no more list management!

For God's sake we need to win as many games as we can to recover some respect.

I am sick of people at work saying they feel sorry for Melbourne.

Enough is enough I want us to be hated like Collingwood & Carlton.

Agree 100%.

I am old enough to remember the late 1950 glory years - I loved being envied and hated too.

Win everything...That is the way to gain respect in the AFL...

This club has been on the side of losing my entire life...i want to see the other side..

Aim upwards...whatever picks we get, use wisely.

That means much better than the last time.

I feel the premise of the poll is unfortunately misguided.. It supposes we alone can control the outcome. Obviously we cant.

I would suggest that even if we try the outcome might only be 3-4 games irrespetive of what we would like. just my thinking

At some point we need to start discussing how overrated high picks are. Remember they are picking teenagers who have NEVER played against men.

I want to win every game, our club has limited respect in the football world - that must be addressed.

The last rebuild got derailed by the poaching of players and poor player management......

We lost:

Scully

Aussie

Maric

There are also some players that haven't come on as quickly as we'd like.....

All were/are a part of the future plans for this club....

If it was my choice, I'd choose to start again.... Tank, get picks 1, 2, 12 and Viney......

We should also look to free agency for some older players.....eg. Goddard, Stanton, Cloke etc

If we were to finish last, we'd have psd pick 1. Which could be used to offer/poach non free agents.....eg Sidebottom, Beams, Shuey, Gold Coast players....

Finish last and hold all the cards........re-rebuild complete

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
