    Being a optimist I can see T.Mac being a all australian this year. A couple of scalps (Both Riewoldt's) and he is sure to be considered. Unlike the midfield which is stacked full of A grade players the backline hasn't as many.

    Hey old dee, it's going to be a great year.

    We will win both games and we'll go on to win many more.

    The AFL (Abject Failures Limited) and the [censored] running it will be shown up at some stage this year for the fools they are.

    The tide of public opinion will turn our way and we will be seen as hardworking underdogs who deserve the respect of the football world.

    Oh it's going to be a glorious year.

    Go DEES!

    Toumpas will be a star. Forgive me for the massive generalization, but we have often previously recruited blokes who lack a winners arrogance. Ie Cale Morton.

    This bloke screams out 'winner'. Hogans the same. Sometimes it just goes beyond draft camps. It's for this reason, I'm also wrapped to have Viney.

    Not a huge NRL fan but you see it with Storm blokes Cam Smith and Cooper Kronk. Jimmy Bartel and Luke Hodge spring to mind also.

    For 34 minutes this afternoon, this is what I saw.

    Maybe Neeld does have the players on board. It's still going to be a long road with more pain to come, but, maybe, just maybe...

    Is now a good time to bring this thread back?

    I would expect there will be all sorts of hopes and dreams bubbling around out there. Let's share them here, free of the negative Nellies.

    I'm dreaming of Queen's Birthday 2014. 90,000 in attendance 45,000 of them in red and blue. What a magnificent sight to see. Imagine being able to wear the scarf with pride as we head out of the G with the song ringing in our ears.

    It's going to be a Grand Old Flag once more!

    GO DEES!

    I was just wondering where you were Reverend.

    Even I share you enthusiasm today mate.

    Can I go to the grave knowing we are competitive once again?

    Absolutely OD, but nobody's going anywhere until we win a flag.

    Paul Roos will be talking to his mate, GOD, and making sure that there will be no loyal supporters taken until the flag flies over the G again.

    Praise the Lord - we are being led from the desert to the promised land.

    GO DEES!

    So I have another ten years Reverend?

    Only if you want to see the next five premierships! Would three in a row put a spring in your step and shake off the infirmities? Bloody hell, one would give me another ten years, I reckon. Three in a row would see me almost immortal.

    GO DEES!

    We will win the 2014 Flag then?

    No pressure Mr Roos but we also don., want to loss a single game for the season including the Pre Season Comp and practice matches.

    Go the Dees!

    If we recruit well we can certainly push for top 8 next year providing we stay mostly injury free

    Tom Mac

    Finally getting games into a few youngsters who've had serious injuries.

    Young leaders (I seem to be in the minority on this but the sheer lack of leadership in recent years is being addressed by a new, young group. It'll take time, but they'll be there when it matters).

    Fitzy, Big Max, Hoges and the star studded forward line.

    While we are at it, why don't we get moloney back and right the wrong with Ollie Wines

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
