No frigging idea what you're talking about or what it had to do with 2006.

Don't reply though.  It's a bore. 

OK, I get it, you're just wanting to draw attention to yourself, not discuss the issue.

Carry on.

    Hawthorn Port and Richmond game we were practically ahead the whole game so I am not sure what leadership needed to do to turn the tide. Against Gold Coast Jack Watts stood up and won the game for us.

    And all 3 of those sides put the heat on us and challanged us during the game. All of our leaders in Viney Jones Gawn and McDonald played a big part in steering the ship back on track. 

    You could also throw in the GWS game where we were 20 odd points down in the last and Gawn Jones and Viney got us back on top to win the game through the middle.

    Your quick to lay the boot into Nathan Jones and our leadership group but never hear a hint of appreciation when they win us big games against the GWS Hawthorns and Collingwoods.

    I literally didn't understand your post.

    If it was relevant or coherent it escaped me.

    Maybe read it again, consider why you particularly responded to me and reword it.

    Attitude...Which has been a problem in the shadows of the club for Decades. 

    Roosy has done a magnificent job. I only wish we had him another 2 years. Goodwin better be one mentally strong guy

    So this is a decades old attitude problem and not a lack of onfield leadership in what is a terribly young group ?

    I thought it might have been that we only had 4 x 100 game players, including a 23 year old in McDonald. 

    Instead I should have realised they were channeling 50 years of mediocrity.

    Surely by now you realise the futility in this type of engagement.

    Yes.  

    I have a bit more time on my hands for the next couple of weeks, hence being more active than usual.

    But I'm fully cognisant that not one word I say will resonate with the hand-wringers.

    Well I will go back and re read your posts.

    Mate, I couldn't care what you or anyone else on here thinks.

    I just like arguing.

    It's a combination of both PD. You know i have been talking about Leadership all year

    But i am also convinced psychology plays a part as well. This club has been kicked so many times since Norm left, repeatedly. 

    If we had lost a nail biting shootout against Carlscum i can deal with that. 

    But we didn't turn up...

    Nathan Jones is the Neitz of his playing era. Both will be in the next team of the century. Both legends of the club and great blokes.

    More time than usual? That can't be a good thing for Demonland, Ben.

    Potentially, yes. But I find nothing wakes me up in the morning better than a dose of sheer arrogance.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
