So half our team would stand up on grand final day yet we won 2 games this year!

My list:

Nathan Jones - but not if he's tagged by Crowley

Viney - in a couple of years when he's matured

Frawley

Garland

Putting Hogan on that list is ridiculous. As is Howe for different reasons. And the others haven't consistently played well in regular home and away matches. Not sure what makes you think they would in a grand final

    How about we start a topic like 'How to get off the bottom four' first.

    Half those players wont be there when we do make a grand final..

    The players listed above may stand up for 10 minutes.

    We must take off the Demon Sunnies. Our list is so far off standing up.

    Roos will improve things.

    JEREMY HOWE

    CHRIS DAWES

    JESSE HOGAN

    COL GARLAND

    DEAN KENT

    MAX GAWN

    So it's not good enough to stand up during the year as well?

    I want to see us play a final first, but out of that list you can't go past Viney and Chunk. But who even knows if this list is relevant when we do make the big one again. I could be a withered old shrewd by the time that one day in September roles around. Dried up, bitter and pessimistic. Like a woman version of Old dee :)

    *Can't stand up against GWS

    *Will stand up on GF Day

    I'd be thinking Jack Grimes and Jack Viney, but it's abit insane to be thinking that far ahead, there is a decent chance a lot of those players will never play in a Grand final.

    I went to the Geelong / Hawthorn prelim this year.

    We are <so far> from that standard

    Port's rapid rise gives some hope, but to use a loaded phrase - we need to get on the reality bus. Our performances have been an embarrassment, and we were hopeless.

    In the fantasy world of Melbourne playing a final, I reckon Mitch Clark might stand up (assuming he's on the ground) - we need more mongrel.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
