2 wins in a row...

Featured Replies

Posted

Is that the first time we have won two on the trot (even nab cup) in about 6 years?

 

I'll take it, but will still celebrate hardcore if we manage it during the season.

I'm talking cocaine, strippers, accidental flight to Queensland after a tab of acid, the works...

 

In 2012 we beat Brisbane in one of those "lightning" games (where you played back-to-back mini games), then the next week we beat Collingwood. 

That's the closest thing we have to consecutive wins since we last did it properly, in Rounds 13-14 of 2011.

It means a little

ive seen article saying demons win 2 from 2. God knows we need some positive press 

good for membership. Good for confidence.

The membership point is a good win - we might not have looked flash in winning, but it's a win and that is what everyone talks about.  Can only be a good thing.

 

Wins are great for membership and general positivity around the club. Ultimately wins in NAB mean more to the lower teams because they need hope.

That's not to downplay the results too much though, 2 wins are definitely better than 2 losses!

And after we beat St. Kilda next week it will become 3 from 3. A nice confidence builder for a young team for whom the game plan is finally starting to gel and it means that we turn up for Round One much better prepared than in the recent past. Go Dees!


Do we get anything if we end up on top of the ladder for the nab challenge?

Simple really. Two wins feels a lot better than two losses. 

Hallelujah to that Ernest.

I will take a win any time anywhere for any reason.

Who do I fly with?


I love the fact that Melbourne are trying to win every game, if nothing else it gives the young supporters something to cheer about and a bit of confidence heading into the proper season.

Confidence is a huge thing, could be the difference between wins and close losses so fingers crossed we carry it into the season

 

2wins are 2wins,  it feels like we haven't had that since the Febey boys made Melbourne home.

 

its a nice feeling.

Sounds like my normal teenage weekend.

A decade is a long to be the also rans of any competition dee-luded.

AS Jon Ralph said in today's HUN " But for a club that has defined mediocrity for a decade , NAB cup wins against Port Adelaide and the Dogs will do just fine."

 

On the outside the club is all smiles but on the inside the coaches would be scratching their heads. Take the win but still a long way to go.

I am very confident that 99% of MFC supporters would agree with you BA.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
