    The tigers are a good two seasons in front of us IMO.

    They have started a slow climb

    But unfortunately the Dees have not found the ladder yet let alone worked out which way is up.

    For me, North Melbourne has the worst song in the competition. It's just seems weird and patched together to me. Like they couldn't decide between two songs so they decided to just combined them.

    I wouldn't go that far.The west australian teams,Port Adelaide's and Greater Western Sydneys songs are worse.The North Melbourne song as well as being very dull is also too quick.I don't have much time for North anyway their shinboner spirit nonsense does my head in not to mention Wayne Careys post retirement antics.

    Richmond had a better season this year than we did but haven't they only played 2 finals since 1982 and i don't think it's set in stone that they'll play finals footy before us.I think we should be looking up to successful clubs instead of another basket case one.As for the part of your post that i put in bold i think that was the perfect description of Melbourne during the Dean Bailey era.I think Mark Neeld is a man that has a vision and a plan for this club.The way Dean Bailey and Chris Connolly ran the football department has made the job even tougher for Neeld though.It's a pity we gave Bailey that extra year.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
