Would be good. I'd rather watch 'The Ghan' than some of our performances in the NT.

At least after 17 hours the Ghan can stay on track !

Plaudits to the Wanna on NITV football tonight

I'm not big into revenge.

The best revenge is living well. It shows that the barbs and arrows thrown at you by your tormentors in the end meant nothing. You ultimately rose above it.

I think if we make the finals this year and aren't just making up the numbers then I'll be happy.

Ok now that we’re in the back end of January , the disarster of round 23 2017 and associated torture is becoming more and more distant each week. Rather than lamenting and self loathing in past failures , like a true demon supporter , I thought best to channel the vitriol to thinking of endeavours that the football club  (or more accurately the players and football department) can now control , that being ....  how they respond in 2018. As supporters we are at the mercy of the how the players and coaches choose to respond , apart from coughing up our hard earned and signing on again in 2018. Accordingly we can only dare to dream and  I’m interest to hear everyone’s wish list to avenge in 2018 

So apart from making finals, clarry winning the Brownlow or the dees doing a bulldogs or Richmond in September  I thought of my top 3 . 

1. Dees finally beat north in Rd 3 with a goal after the siren , brad Scott looses his [censored] in the box , despite north again getting a helping hand from the umps. Dees go 3-0

2. Queens birthday , the dees smash collingwood by 12 goals adding to a 4 game loosing streak for the pies. Bucks under severe pressure again and Taylor Adams is added to the jack viney made me cry thread 

3. A red hot Melbourne side anilhilate west coast by 80 points in rd 22 severely eroding their % and ending their finals aspirations. 

Go dees ! 

 

 

Good wish list but beat north by a kick after the siren please i want those [censored] on toast 60 pts plus please.

Jake Lever to become an out and out superstar, and Adelaide to seek compensation from the Afl and then finally leave the competion because players dont want to stay there.....and Tex to have a brain fade and start eating the goal posts.

Two wishes from me........Win our first game well, and what it will mean, against Cats, and then start turning around the win/loss ratio that absolutely annoys me......

I get the feeling that even when we beat them somehow it won’t be easy , they’ll get themselves up for it (or the media will play up the unbeaten streak line) and turn it into a grind, and we’ll be made to sweat it out right to the end . Hears hoping we destroy them though !

You're kidding yourself DA.  We could be 10 goals up and the usuals will still find something to complain about.

My wishlist is simple - finals.  Anything less and it's a failed season.

Unless the circumstances are extraordinary, that would barely satisfy me Wise.  To demonstrate progress, and eliminate the bitter after-taste of last year, I reckon we need to win at least one.

For our guys to start playing like men, consistently playing all four quarters and playing out the whole season strongly.  All these things together and finals look after themselves.  Mostly, for us to look back on this season as the one where the MFC started to assert it's self as a dominant on-feild force on the comp, to be feared and reconed with.

Jessy Hogan delivering on his promise to become the dominant power forward of the comp, supported by Tommy Mac who will start drawing comparisons to Nick Riewolt, with his althletisim and marking ability, cumulating with an inspirational performance from Max Gawn (who I wish to be provided in advance of new umpiring interpretations) to smash the Saints 

In terms of beating teams, beating them all has a nice ring to it, but if I have to rationalise, I'd take in order of priority:

1.  Thrashing Norf;

2.  Thrashing Collingwood (and make Howe wonder what might have been had he stuck fat);

3.  St Kilda (per Norf, we owe them at least a decade of defeats... throw most of the comp in that basket as well);

3.  Sydney;

4.  Thrashing Hawthorn;

1. No criticisms of Satyr for his training reports

2. No criticisms of Joeboy for his weekly three word player summaries

3. No criticisms of Melbourne players unless genuinely deserved.

Why didn't you put "unless genuinely deserved" at the end of the first two?

Because that's the point. The criticism of Satyr and Joeboy is never deserved. Disagreement with their views is OK, but not criticism of them personally.

Ok.  But it's ok to criticise their training reports/three word player summary?

I'm mainly asking because of the three word thing.  I rarely read it because I received a warning early days for making not "nice" comments about it, but when I do, I see others share a similar view quite frequently.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
