Maybe Sidebottom is someone we should be trying to lure to the Dees.

Would complement our midfield.

would take serious coin to get him to wander down swan road to our joint.

he would definitely add some cream, but we'd be giving something good up to get him, no doubt.

Saints now 5th on the ladder.  Taking their chances, the exact opposite of what we do.

Although it must be nice having an almost empty injury list.....

I must have spoken too soon when I said sooky Melbourne supporters wouldn't be able to take St Kilda winning personally.

They've earnt it. For the most part they have turned up to play and taken their opportunities. When they play a bottom team (e.g. Hawthorn) they make he most of that and make sure they win. We've done the opposite and it's why they're ahead of us again this year and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. 

We need leaders to help get the boys up so they don't drop games to bottom teams. We're going nowhere until we can turn that corner.

All clubs are in the same situation, The Aints are getting the job done

That's all you can ask

Yeah but I get what he is saying.

They lost Reiwoldt for one game and that's pretty much it.

They beat Carlton by 19 points.... not something to write home about.

They are being overrated big time by the media.

That is true but in a season where the top 8 is wide open they will probably make it because they have won games they should have and thrashed the bottom teams to get a good %.

Whether they deserve to make the 8 is a moot point.  The cards are falling their way.  I just wish it was us.

No they're not. It is a tight competition and this year a win is a win, there will not be many massacres in 2017

Carlscum are not that bad and Bolton is no fool

Tonight WE can win if we fight hard enough against the odds

The Aints have a lot of young kids who are learning to win, so far far they are learning faster than the MFC

Very early in the season to be saying this, mate. St Kilda may well have been saying similar things after Round 2. Long way to go yet and anything could happen.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
