What excuses?

I seriously just wanted to know what you were talking about because I just don't know sometimes. We should beat Port tomorrow out o a matter of course - it's a nothing game.

You want to see progress?

Beat a decent team, or even play well against a decent team.

Then it will be The Time ©, not beating a poor interstate team.

sure i would love to beat a decent side away from the 'G.

But your attitude of not caring about whether we beat a poor interstate club or not is one of the problems this club has had for years.

We pick & choose when to perform.

Glad you bought it up....

I want to see them take a leaf out of the Dogs' book. Take note, this is how you're meant to play Brisbane in Round 1. EFFORT.

i am rapt Footscray are doing this.

I hope the Coach is giving it a look, and some of the players.

Port should get SMASHED tomorrow.....should.

I don't know why I bother...

We should win this game. There is no progress from a win, there is only embarrassment from a loss.

Your intimation that this game will be a coming of age of sorts is misguided and naive.

'Its Time'?

Not yet.

I have to completely disagree with this comment. There's plenty of progress from a win. Every win gives the team the memory of that feeling and the desire to have it more often. Every win creates a bond with the players in that they look at each other and know they went out there and together got the result. I don't think this game will make of break the players or the season, but there is infinitely more gained from a win, especially a hard fought win, than a loss.

Stop picking and choosing which games are "worth" winning.

It is a terrible and destructive attitude this club has clung to for way too long.

"I don't know why I bother..."

Neither do i.

I want to see Viney take the ball out of the first centre bounce, run and and spread the ball to a running Toumpas who will hand-pass over the top to Clark in the goal square. Goal - 23 seconds.

I want to see Watts kick in from a rushed behind and find a running Matt Jones who takes on his opposition player and turns him inside out whilst giving off a hand-pass to Sam Blease who is shepherded beautifully by David Rodan allowing him to run down the members wing to deliver to Sellar on 50. Sellar puts a high ball to the goal square where Howe soars to drag down a contender for GOTY. Goal - 2 mins 30.

ETC

ETC

ETC

Go Dees!

I just want to see them get a kick , before the opposition lands ten tackles... You blokes are now running on your own adrenalin... Let's just let them show us they can come out of "Shame corner" and play four quarters of football , win or lose, just give all they have and come off the ground totally exhausted... NOT walk off talking and smiling with the bloody opposition !! "[censored]" stuff to my way of thinking...

Jack Watts KO Michael Hurley.

Its sort of pathetic that the idea of Watts running through someone, delivering a strong hit or even trying to rile someone up is laughable.

Supremely skilled and athletic but no attitude.

He HAS an attitude.....it may go something like this ....." [censored], this is harder than schoolboy footy when I used to be able to display my skill and athletic... But now I am playing against men I think I will just be glad I get through the day without having to go near the ball... At least I will still get paid".... This is how I see his attitude.... Forgive me if I upset anyone, but I callit as I SEE IT !!

It is frustrating as I see a superstar inside him, he just needs an attitude change. Anyway, there are enough Jack Watts threads, apologies all.

It starts in the head. Sylvia is from Bendigo, which has a reputation for producing tough, uncompromising players, what happened with him? Jack Watts needs to be moved into the forward line and receive some tutoring from Mitch Clark on how to attack the ball. We need to only play midfielders like Jack Viney, Trengove and Magner who are willing to attack the ball and the game and who are prepared to chase and tackle. Our back line needs Grimes, McDonald and any other player that is prepared to work their guts out to keep the opposition scoreless. Colin Garland, James Frawley and Daniel Nicholson need to be sent back to the VFL to learn how to gain intensity and in Nicholson and Garland's case to improve their woeful kicking. Every player needs to be prepared to defend his playing mates when any physical intimidation is applied and it should be answered with strength and unity to show that the Melbourne FC stand for something. Every player should aim to be as feared as Byron Pickett was when they take to the oval on match day.

Dont take this the wrong way or as me being another Dees fan who accepts mediocrity. I know we are on a long road to where we wish to be.

While I would happily take a win, all I really want to see is effort, run followed by gut running, intensity, support your team mate and no shirking of any contests, everything looks after itself after that.

This is what I expect from my team for the next 21 games

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
