Some people get so angry after a single loss that they forget the progress we have made, despite how long it is taking.

And how much it is costing.......

Watching the game yesterday and many others I had the distinct impression many of the midfield turnovers were caused by a lack of options up forward. Roos seems to prefer allowing the opposition to ha

No, no and no. And I don't know how you could get that "feeling" from watching that game. Disappointed with a poor performance? Sure, but "hate the club"? I don't think so.

Sorry, I should have used my words better. What I meant was that he just seems to go through the motions, play like someone that's already defeated. He doesn't "hate" the club. Bad choice of words.

In 2010 under Bailey when we won 8.5 games we also had a percentage of 95%

We were so much more competitive then

Our percentage was so high, because we'd beat up on interstate teams on the 'G.

I picked it 7 years ago when i thought we would at least be contesting in the finals by now. Looks a bit stupid now in light of what i just posted i know !

With seven posts in seven years you have been sparing in your views. Maybe some others could take a leaf out of your book!

So you want me to judge our improvement based not on games we now win but on the size of the loss?

Sounds like a perfect solution for the MFC.

In 2016 if we lose every game by one point we could say we are a mile ahead of 2015.

We are a mile ahead if we get a priority draft pick from the AFL. With the first two draft picks injected into our team (hypothetically) we might win every game the following year by one point. I would be prepared to accept that! Further, one point margins suggest a contest each week which also would be a pleasant change!

We played in finals 2 years after he left. With a bunch of youngsters groomed in the Under 18s under his reign.

Different game, different times. You can add one or two players that would make a difference and jump from last to first in a season. You can't do that these days. Way too many variables, and you have 15-16 teams who all improve in some capacity.

Our biggest problem this year is that we've stayed in neutral. We HAVE improved, but teams like Bulldogs, Port, GWS have simply improved more.

Next year we should leapfrog the likes of Essendon, St Kilda, Collingwood, but knowing this club we'll finish last llol

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
