Same as you, I am allowed to, it is a public forum, I don't  rubbish , read all the posts, for the majority winning is all that matters, why read my posts if you don't like them, I have quite a few posters I don't read now, unless I am quoted. I will continue to post what I like, if that is ok with you?

Whatever.

No...didnt expect us to win a flag yet.  Just about all to a tee expected us to start knocking on the door by years end. We seem again caught in a revolving door .....i.e in out in out.. chasing it all about going no where.

We ended 15  as 13th with 7 wins.. Its quite possible this year we may end up 14th.

Just doesnt strike me as much of an achievement . Makes a mockery of of the talk and bullshlt that still surrounds this club.

I thought 10 wins a bare pass.  8 or 9 is a fail

Our game day ability to adapt to other teams is woeful. We still lack any real leadership on the field..what happens off filed is all nicey nicey  but where it counts is  once past the white line.

We're still a club of excuses.

As OD has mentioned Jackson's verve for seeking finals this year has gone to ground.

So many here still aspire to mediocre results..  Maybe more than a handful wearing the jumper do as well.

Russell yo yos ought to be our primary sponsor...

How about we wait until the end of the year before saying we are a club of excuses. We may well yet get to your 10 win pass mark, and until we do or don't,  there is no need to be so negative

We will get to 10 wins. I've said it all year. We won't win today though.

I Agree. But people still argue that we haven't improved,  despite the increase in percentage, wins and ladder position, as well as overall club image and financial position.

People are scarred and determined not to induce further scarring until the evidence otherwise is irrefutable. 

Wow. I sound like BB. :P

We won't win today I suspect, I agree.

Can only see two more possible wins

It's not so much negativity ...  As reality.

So one exception to the rule means it will be the same for everyone?

I see AF liked your post as well.  I expect that he is sacrificing anything to every god that existed that Prestia is magically given a new knee and he comes to us for a 4th round pick.

Hmm, not sure I said that, just pointed out an anomally.  To be honest I agree that we don't want injured players coming to us at a huge cost but meh I simply can't get as emotive as you seem to be able to about something that may never happen.

Cheers and go Dees for today.

Had us finishing 10th on 10 wins after doing the full ladder predictor at the start of the season.

Can only see us beating GC on the run home though. Where do you think the other 2 wins are going to come from?

Carlton but that still leaves one and I have no idea who that would be.

Suns and Blues only conceivable wins for mine. Neither a Monty really.  Happy Daze !

You watching today's Syd v Carl game? We won't beat Carlton.

Unexpected places. Probably GCS, Carlton and then somewhere like Hawthorn or Geelong.

The main goal of a football club is to win.  Then it is to win some more.  And then it is to win even more.  

You're kidding yourself if you think otherwise, and if any player on our list didn't have the above as his first, second and third priority then he should go and do something else.

I was talking about posters on here not the players, if actually read what I typed

It doesn't change a thing.  If you aren't supporting a club with a priority to win, then why else are you supporting them?

That's the whole point of sport last time I checked.. Some want wins,  some want awkward relationships with young guys 40 years their junior..

 

Oh humour, well I think it was

I actually have the social skills to get out from behind my keyboard and talk to people face to face   you want to try it sometime, that's if your mum will let you out

Wins are good, if we are good enough we will get them

I actually like watching footy, don't need to bet on it, or have a beer, or deride players whilst doing it

Two more wins is two more than last year. That is an improvement. We got within 3 goals of the Hawks, 5 points of North. We have improved, and will continue to do so. 

That is the reality

We've "improved". It just hasn't amounted to much.

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
