Champagne comedy! Good one Frank Burns.

While our style of play looks improved since last year, the results against teams we would hope to be equal or better than have been disappointing. Mixed bag so far. Not much to hang our hat on. Wait till we play the better clubs, that'll totally screw our percentage.

Reverend!

I thought you had migrated to a foreign land or decided to obstain from AFL.

I've been deep in meditation and reflection as I contemplate the future success of my beloved demons. I've ventured into the desert seeking enlightenment and have returned with renewed optimism. When I asked the question, I heard a dulcet voice proclaim, "Have faith Crawf52, the time is coming." I asked when I could expect to be rewarded for my faith and I was told, "When Vlad departs, Mick realises he's just not up to it and the Bombers get their fair whack. When these three things have come to pass your faith will be rewarded and the Dees will enjoy a century of unparalleled success."

It cant be that far, away can it?

Judge us after round 5....

4 losses

1 win

Less than 34,000 members

17th on the ladder

Percentage 69.3%

And are yet to play the better sides.

Better than last year, and when you're better than what you were before it's called "improvement".

WE HAVE IMPROVED, WE ARE BETTER THAN LAST YEAR. We are in the right direction, and are at least competitive, which so many of you said you wanted. But now you have it, you don't want that? We are a [censored] awful football team, who are now slightly less awful and seem to be gaining the respect back from the media AT LEAST.
Next year we will be better still, and so on and so on. When you come from this far back it is gonna take time as we basically had to start again.

fk off Stuie, we are now up to round 6 so move on.

Last year at this time our percentage was 56, this year it's 67.

Now, let me explain... 67 is a higher number than 56. That means so far this year we've improved on the same time last year. Do you see how that works?

Our percentage this year is 67.3 against 56.1 last year after round 6 .

The more interesting stat is that after 6 rounds this year we have conceded at 80.5 points per game. Last year at the same stage we had conceded 140 points per game and at seasons end 122.3 points per game.

I know we are still not winning games but I believe that the tide may be turning and Roos influence is starting to show.

I think we're still a very long way from gaining respect. We're now on the path to regaining it, but it's going to be a long road back.

I agree P-Man

we are still saddled with the worst list in the comp.

It is going to take at least another two draft /trading periods to fix that.

I'm not talking about percentage, I'm talking about 'points for' Stuie you must be blind seriously....look....read....

Haha... Wow. Just when I think you couldn't miss any more obvious points.

We may be averaging 10 points less so far this year, but we're also restricting out opponents to 40 points less.

That's why we talk about percentage and not just points for.

Far out. Special kid you are.

Amazing isn't it considering all the 1st round picks and pp's we were handed....

Those who were in charge must stay right away

Unfortunately Reverend Two of your three conditions are some ways off being resolved.

Mick won last night so his ego is back to " I am the greatest" and the Bombers thing will not be resolved in 2014 if ever.

Look like there is still a long long way to go.

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s
