    I think this time I tend to agree with you. There was just so much failure by this club over the last period of years, it is just not worth getting upset over.

    We all know we stuffed up on so many counts, recruiting, coaching , administration etc, etc, etc.

    We now have a capable CEO and a good Coach and some recruits who seem to be up to it and some trades who are better than what we had. Out list is better, our attitude is better, our optimism is up, let's move on and look forward to a better future.

    Hey Redleg all I did was ask a question I made no judgement no analysis just a question

    People like you and Saty seem to have agendas that go way past my simple mind, my question was answered and big thanks to those who read the post and answered it Geesssus!

    Jesse's extension would give me an 'extension'.

    Even the thought of it excites me.

    Isn't it wonderfull that that one one word seems to have largely withstood the onslaught of the American "cultural" invasion.

    I was perusing some draft history last night trying to figure where we went wrong in terms of draft outcomes selections etc

    One thing that did stand out was 2011 national Draft

    1) Available selections - Our first pick was 36 Taggert games 0

    - Our seconf pick was 52 Tynan games 2

    - Our third pick was 54 Sellar games 23

    2) Rookies all failed

    3) No preseason selections

    My memory has failed me Why didnt we get a higher selection? Did we lose selections for some infraction?

    Given that we finished 12th something must have happened?

    The draft itself was considered the worst in recent years. A friend working as a scout/ recruiter for an AFL club told me prior that it was as deep as the top 15 at best and after that clubs were practically guessing (if you get my drift).

    So as for Taggert, Tynan and Sellar being busts I can't really blame the recruiters on this one. Looking at the draft now the only really good quality picks amongst the vast range of later selections would have been Michael Talia and Lachie Neale.

    Then Todd Viney took over in 2012 and suddenly we started drafting like a professional club

    Jimmy Toumpas, Jack Viney, Jesse Hogan, Dean Kent, Dom Barry, Matt Jones, Dean Terlich

    Might go down as the draft that saved our club and set up future success.

    Sorry but that's a pretty bad list. Toumpas Barry Jones and terlich all major duds

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
