1. Get more of a look at Blease and Tapscott. Can even add Strauss (or Nicholson) if you like.

2. More senior time for Max Gawn

3. Midfield time for Dean Kent

4. Aiden Riley. The more match fitness and experience the better for this guy

5. Jesse Hogan - if it doesn't happen then that's too bad. But if we get to see him play that's great!

6. Hawthorn - can we rattle some of those f#ckers and disrupt their finals

7. North - see Hawthorn, oh and maybe we could beat them, I dare to dream

8. West Coast - we've had decent road form in SA, can we translate that to WA? New stadium is 4 years away!

9. Etihad - 2 chances to break the hoodoo

10. Some more Salem and JKH magic

    I want to see 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

    I expect to see 1, 4, 10.

    I fear we may only see 1.

    No wish to see Nicholson in but a glimpse of Toumpas would be nice.

    I'd like to see Grimes play medium forward/lead up.

    Give Tapscott more responsibility behind the ball.

    And yes, I know they are not direct swaps.

    I want to see

    1. Three wins

    2. Ok, two wins

    3. Alright... One win

    4. Hogan play a game or two at AFL level.

    5. More of Blease and Tappy although I don't hold any hope, give them a few weeks and then if no good delist.

    6. Roos commit to a third year as coach with another 3 years running the coaching/football department

    7. Essendon get banned.

    8. Chip realise no one will pay him more than 400k for 3 years and then re sign with us.

    9. Salem to tear a game apart

    10. Watts lose his shite and go Hulk on someone! Ha ha ha ha

    Yesterday has filled me with a bit of confidence, Kent's burst out of midfield and handball to Tyson (although nearly botched) was impressive. Whether Hogan get's to step on the field is an unknown, but I would like to see all these guys in the list to close our season.

    Agree, but pushing it I think, he's not even training fully at the moment.

  • Quote

    1. Win at Etihad

    2. Beat GWS

    3. 1+2 = Win a home game (haven't won a home game this year)

    4. Jones to go forward temporarily

    5. Toumpas

    6. Hogan

    7. A win by 5+ goals

    8. A better performance against the Roos

    9. A tough outing against the Hawks

    10. A few more Tyson BOG

    As well as various listed above, I'd like to see:

    • someone kick five goals in a game
    • the team score 120 points or more in a game
    • Dom Tyson, Christian Salem, Josh Kelly and whoever GWS picked (or traded for) with selection 20 in the draft all play in the same game
  • Quote

    I want to see:

    • GRRM recognize how wrong he was about Tom McDonald.
    • If you need more of a look at Blease and Tappy go back to remedial school.
    • Some games from Strauss.
    • The coaching situation resolved.
    • Watts played on the wing.
    • Strauss getting some games
    • Howe moved forward.
    • Saints, Brisbane and GWS win 3 more games (but not against us).
    • Campbell apologise to MFC for the Watts decision.
    • RPFC show some humility. :)

    Edit: I'm obviously keen to see Strauss get some games!

    Strauss, clisby and michie get a run

    Dawes kicks a bag

    Frawley 're-signs

    Hogan gets a run

    Vince gets a decent hair cut

    Cross gets back in

    Toumpas plays some good games to hit pre season with momentum

  • Quote

    Win at least 2 games, with GWS and Brisbane being the likely 2

    This team is ingrained with a losing culture and mindset and every win is an important one

    If anyone suggests that losing those 2 games wont matter they have rocks in their head... we especially must put GWS back in their place they have flogged us the last few times we have played and its embarrassing

  • Quote

    1.Four quarter effort by the boys in all 5 of our remaining games and finishing out of the bottom 4

    2.At least 2 more wins, hopefully more. GWS, Brissy I demand, but bring effort and the right attitude and Meth Coast and North are gettable

    3.Daniel Cross back to provide some leadership, midfield depth and a cool head (would have been worth his weight in gold in the last 5 minutes yesterday)

    4.Kent, Blease and JKH providing the much needed line breaking run coupled with continuous team ethos cementing their spots in the side, providing us with some x-factor

    5.No serious injuries to any of our players

    6.Hogan getting fit and making his debut and hopefully 2/3 games into him, providing us with another forward option on top of showing why he was so highly sought after

    7.Jamar continuing his return to form and providing us with first use of the ball, a good run home for him as crazy as it seems would not rule out a spot in at least the AA 40 man squad, Jacobs is the standout and Lobbe next best but dropping off over the last few weeks

    8. Dunn and Jetta continuing their good seasons and earning AA squad selections at least

    9. Roos making an announcement during a press conference after a win that he will be extending his contract for at least 1 more season.

    10.Frawley agreeing to stay at the Dees for less money than offered at opposition clubs and openly stating the club is headed in the right direction

    Strauss has to play. Was recruited for kicking. Its exactly what we need. Has been on the list too long for little return. Now or never.

    1. Compete for every single minute of every single game.

    Yes it's a bit of a tired and worn out cliché, but I just really would love to see the team go hard right until the very end. For too many years we've had to sit back and watch as the club put the cue in the rack. Things like our ladder position and percentage is not irrelevant by any means, but when we talk about things like the 'culture' of the team then I think this is where it all starts. Setting out to win every single game.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
