Steve has this view that if you're not attacking the club then you must be defending it. If you're not ranting and raving, you must be happy with how things are. I'm surprised anyone even bothers replying to him anymore tbh.

Please kill my account and block my internet address.  Thanks and go dees.

I do not make that assumption but I am not accomplishing anything and obviously be annoying so I will stop.  Bye bye.

 

@steve_f

I don't think  @Nasher was referring to you.  I think he was referring to 'stevethemanjordan'

Would be sad to see you go, having been a member since 2005.

Looking forward our best players and the ones who will be guns are mainly under 23:

Oliver, Viney, Hogan, Petracca, Hunt

Even the next group other than Jones only just over 25

Gawn, Hibberd, Jetta, Jones

Compare to supposedly young Carlton best players

Cripps (young) Murphy, Kreuzer, Gibbs

Tigers

Dusty, Cotchin, Riewoldt, Rance

Geelong

Selwood, Dangerfield, Hawkins, Taylor

Port

Boak, Gray, Wines(23), 

There is hope.

We need to become ruthless and I think Goodwin getting a few more solid players in over the draft will be able to instil this into the Demons.

Don't get too worked up over this stuff. It's pointless now. Move on and focus on next year.

Just as we have said after almost every disappointing season for the last half century

Get over it! The result is fact now...

This will be a springboard to sustained success...

I think Jones and Lewis have responded well to the week and season that was...

The club needs to be ruthless in trade and drafting. Player development needs to step up. 

Possibly gain Lever (need to concrete our back 6). Outside running/goal kicking midfielders required (I believe Melksham can develop into a very good one). A ruck/forward who is deficult to match up on (trade in Mason Cox).

Do we trade our 2018 1st Round pick this season? 

will be??  certainly should be.  IF they really want it to happen and wouldn't just like it to.

Such an un-Melbournian trait though.

Challenge for Goodwin is to get this very basic fact through to an all too comfortable playing group

I'm worried that we didn't get a single Rising Star nomination in 2017.

We had two players eligible: Weideman and OMac.  Which one of them do you think should have been nominated?

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
