"Last Day of a Dismal Demon Era"


Vagg

Recommended Posts

On AFL 360 tonight, Gerard's "Sure Thing" for this weekend is that Sunday will be "The last day of a Dismal Demon Era".

Man, do we ever hope that proves to be true, and we come out in 2014 a rejuvenated and exciting outfit!

Here's to 2014 and beyond...!!

what does he know ?

Well done BB. The plot has been made thicker from your four words. I thought it was a throw away line by GW but you may be onto something.

As good as Whately is, I doubt he'd know anything really juicy and I doubt even further he could keep it quiet.

Its getting to the pointy end. For some its finals and the road you travel to them. For others its another path, to hope. But now urgency accelerates, feet get jittery, lips purse, throats dry.

For some teams the season goes on, for others it morphs into a new one. Many hope its like caterpillars and butterflies, from something ordinary comes some amazingly brilliant.

Caterpillars are fair game though and often things just don't go the way we hope.

The temptation to colour in the pages is great !!!

Maybe he was just voicing the hopes and dreams of all of us poor, pathetic, ever hopeful Dees supporters...!

A vague notion is a bit much for such a grandious "throw away"

I think we will regenerate from 2014 onwards.

We have numerous problems but the main one ATM is a massive lack of confidence. A new coach and a new approach can change that. Some changes to the playing list will also start turning things around. We introduced a number of first year players in 2013 and they will be better for the experience.

Thank goodness. Finally a reporter saying something positive about us. I WANT to believe this but I get a bad feeling something awful will come out of our drugs probe.

Even if he knew Roos was coming, it's still a ridiculous statement. Even with Roos, we're not going to jump above the bottom six teams next year. Covert sensationalism from Whatley. I know it'd be nice to think the pain is all over, but we're still looking at a bottom six finish next year. That's must surely be considered part of a dismal era. Unless we have a simply outstanding FA and trading period, I really can't see our D grade midfield improving enough in the space of six months to mount any sort of challenge to the top eight teams next year. Wow. Listen to me. Talk about cynical. I'd also call it realistic.

And then comes Vlad and his henchmen to wreck more damage on the MFC.

I don't believe it will be the good times but at best just the recovery time.

- My guess is he doesn't know anything that isn't in the public arena. This is just his gut feeling which he often goes with.

- A bottom six finish, AF? I dream of getting out of the bottom four. If we can manage to take a few scalps other than the expansion teams, and be competitive against the rest, that would absolutely be an end of the dismal era. It would mean the club is finally moving up, not down. For the record I don't see next year bringing much relief and I think bottom four beckons, but hopefully we see genuine improvement.

- The excuse about being low on confidence is wearing a bit thin. I'm not counting it out, but Craig doesn't instil confidence in them? Why not? I think we have to face up to the fact that many of the players we drafted in this period just aren't that good. Look at Gysberts. Taken out of the toxic environment and still stinking it up. Confidence in terms of trusting in each other on the field is another matter.

GW is a [censored], same as his fat mate Robbo. Both don't know s#%t!

GW has this little whiny annoying voice that makes me want to slap him, and Robbo is a bogan who just loves the sound of his own voice.

Anyways, if you can't tell 360 is my favorite show ;)

If we lose Sylvia and Watts, which appears likely, our list will be even worse than it was this year. We have lost/royally stuffed up so many first round draft picks - it's bordering on ridiculous.

I cannot see much improvement next year, even if Jesus Christ is appointed as head coach.

In all my years supporting this club, I've never been this low. It's rock bottom for me at the moment.

I'm actually flirting with the idea of supporting GWS.

    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

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
