Don't forget Dean Kent, you can't look sideways at a red and blue jumper without him giving you a bit of what for.

 

Deffinatley a bit of that 'arrogant' Hawthorn streak in what we are building, the playing group drew a line in the sand somewhere and won't be pushed around anymore

 

We started this game and over the next few years I hope we remind people why. 

 

GWS are a worry though...

    It is looking probable that GWS will finish 4th this year and seriously challenge next

    Optimism?

    Nathan Jones is meat and potatoes, Viney needs to curb his aggression, Oliver needs a rest, Trengove's slow, Petracca tries to do too much, Brayshaw's always concussed, Tyson is 'meh', Melksham can't kick, vandenBerg can't kick, Lumumba turns it over, Bugg's just a trier, Kennedy's too small, Spencer's unco, Tom is going to Sydney, Oscar is weak, Neal-Bullen isn't good enough, Wagner makes too many mistakes, Hunt doesnt get the ball enough, Harmes is too unreliable, Salem is always sick, Watts doesn't go, Kent plays one good game in four, Frost is not accountable, Vince gets reported too often, Kennedy-Harris's hamstrings are like tissue paper, Weideman is in the seconds, Hulett will never make it, Jetta's had two bad games in a row, Dawes can't clunk a mark, Dunn's gone, Grimes is gone, Newton's gone, Pedersen's gone, Garland's gone, Michie's gone, Roos is just in it for the money, Goodwin is tainted by Essendon, we won't win any more games for the rest of year and by 2018 we'll be the Tasmanian Devils.

    All we've got is Gawn.

    Come on. Get with the program.

    A fantastic example of the sort of negativity that infests the pessimist. 

    I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume this is an attempt at the lowest form of humour - sarcasm.

    If it's not, you have my sympathy for your miserable life.

    Are you implying that there is only one?

    Only a pessimist would think that.

    Au contraire.

    I was taking exception to the heading optimist only, it should be optimists only.

    Well, yeah, but only an optimist would expect everybody to have perfect grammar!

    Reasons to be optimistic:

    • We cannot lose this weekend
    • We will be well rested and ready to belt the Crows
    • Adelaide will be over-confident after beating the Roos.
    • It's just so good, so well set up for an upset... 

    Can't lose! 

    GO DEES!

    This is optimism. I like it.

    I just love the fact that this year I really have no idea if we will win or lose, not like previous years when it was "How much will we lose by this week?"

    Am I being negative in suggesting there's only one 'optimist' on all of D'land? :huh:

    I think he'll be better than his brother, not sure he'll be as good as SOS however.

    I optimistically punched us in on the ladder predictor for a win in every game after the bye . . . and we still missed the eight. Stupid optimism.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
