Jeebers if The MFC doesn't come out next week breathing ABSOLUTE fire at Essendrug after what happened last year then Goodwin and all the players may as well walk away

    I think we're overrated at times, and call me crazy... but we're a reasonable chance at being 5-1 out of those 6 games.

    Druggies by 8 goals SWYL

    WE simply do not have the required talent. Daniher will kick 6 on his own

    Win 4 lose 2. Maybe being overly optimistic. Crows and North worry me the most.

    The round 9 game could be interesting against North as we are 2 sides that snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

    I think eventually we will start converting the opportunities we create and if we do that sooner rather than later we have no reason to fear any team, even without gawn. 

    I agree Ab, its a good problem to have. In years gone by we couldnt get it past half forward.

    Crows ... loss

    the rest 50-50 so two or three wins .... of course we could luck in and win all 5 but MFC doesn't have that kind of luck

    Could TWSNBN be running that hard at the end of 4 quarters after only four clear days break, oh, that's right, they have WC's old coach.

    Did notice the boys are looking bigger every week. Between cross eyed umpires, that can't throw straight from the boundary line and half the bleeding hearts club from the Whiney Hill Corridor it's a big ask for any opposition for the next five years until they "get back on their feet".

    Currently 2-3.  If we can split the difference and turn at 5-6 we will still be mid-table, and making our own chances.  We are not a top 4 side, otherwise we would 5-0 or 4-1.  We are a developing side and will start to put this promising stuff together at some point.  ATM we are learning the system.  WHen we play it for 4 quarters, it will be a thing of beauty.  But not yet... so 3-3 from the next 6 would be my call.  Better than that - given our injuries and our learning curve - will be a bonus.

    I agree & reckon we'll see improvement in the second half. I'm expecting a few poor weeks (Essendrug is a win) but late season development a strong possibility.

    Huge 5 weeks coming up before the bye. All, bar the Adelaide game, we would normally be more than a good chance to win, but without a ruck it is going to be very difficult.

    If we go into the bye at 5-5, I think we are well placed for finals with Gawn not far off coming back from injury.

    That would mean winning 3 of Essendon, Hawthorn, North and Gold Coast.

     

    .......and Spencer hopefully even sooner.

    We are in real trouble without a ruckman, more because of how it impacts our structure. If we can maintain our structure by maybe having Pederson or King ruck the majority of the game, and we stop losing good players to injuries (especially during games), we are a chance to win most of these.

    We will get smashed in Adelaide, and I hope this doesn't destroy our confidence. 

    I think that is pivotal.

    In the weeks sans Hogan Watts was called upon to do more ruck work than he should have, leaving an underdone (and in has last game injured) Weideman as the kay forward, far from ideal structurally.

    That is why Pedersen (or even Keilty,  maybe) to take the lion's share of ruck work, hoping to contest and maybe nearly break even, would allow JW4 and Hogan to work as a team up forward.

    hope your right....he looked awesome against the pies and that was in the wet.   And we dont have a ruckman to drop back on him.

    As do i.. now :(

  • Quote

    I always found it difficult to place us in the top eight at the start of the year. Personally, I think the likes of Petracca, Brayshaw, Salem, Hunt, Stretch, Oliver and Hogan are all another 20-30 games away from really hitting their stride and playing consistent football week in, week out. 

    Saying that, I still think that a 4-2 result over the next four weeks is highly achievable. On paper, I believe we should beat Hawthorn, North, Gold Coast and Collingwood. As mentioned in another post, Essendon is about a 50/50 game and we'll be lucky to stay in reaching distance against the Crows in Adelaide. 

    That would give us a 6-5 result going into the bye. I wouldn't say I'm optimistic about our chances this year, but anything is possible from there.

    I see the original OD is back.

    And you were so positive after the first two games...

    It seems that we can only get ourselves up properly against a serious challenger or for a big-time match. The worst we've played this year is against Carlton and Freo. In that sense, we're at risk of going 2-4. Not because we're crap, but because every one else is.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
