Of course it is. The fact that a 6 game increase represents 400% highlights how awful we are.

A 1 game increase for us is a 50% increase on our year. For the Gold Coast to increase by 50% they'd need to win another 4 games. It reflects the fact that GC is better than we are.

If you can't understand how percentages work, don't be surprised if/when people start disregarding your posts.

15 wins x 400% = 60 wins

that's how percentages work

it's your application of them that is dense

Actually a 400% improvement (increase) on 15 wins is 75 wins. 60 wins would be a 300% improvement on 15 wins...

actually rfpc is the one who said 400%, referring to 8 wins improvement to last year's 2 wins.

interesting that rfpc 'likes' your post, demonstrates the grip he has on his own statement

You make a fine point.

The improvement would be 300%.

I apologise.

you know what.. I think myself and some others are getting carried away.. I've just watched a replay and my lord, I had forgotten just how bad we are.. i think you are correct in that an extra 6 wins is fanciful indeed. Depressing stuff.

We will be better, C&B.

We just have different ideas of how much better.

November is not the time for depression.

Anyone notice our 3 Saturday night games in Melbourne (v st Kilda, Sydney and bulldogs) are stand alone games on channel 7 which means excellent national exposure. Sure we've got no Friday night games but we haven't totally gone without in national exposure.

The round 6 sat night game v Sydney has the potential to drag in 35-40 k with the Roos - Sydney factor and if we've already won a couple.

Good point. I'm very surprised with the 3 early season saturday night games on 7, but it's a great opportunity for the club. Though the Essendon game in Round 2 this year was too...That reminds me of that Brisbane game in Round 5 2010. It was a foxtel saturday night game,but we were coming off 2 wins, Brisbane were undefeated, the crowd was 36-37k and we smashed them by 50 points. Atmosphere was amazing

i like the Ross Lyon attitude of "anywhere,anytime'.

May take years before we get bums on seats again, but thats up to how well we play.

And they are the only Saturday night games for the round which means that all attention will be on Melbourne.

THought I'd mention the positives of the fixture among all the doom and gloom.

    TRAINING: Monday 17th February 2025

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
