It's the media talking the club up not the the club themselves, the media are the best in drooling over players and clubs like lovesick schoolgirls.

Not right!

Wasn’t it Peter Jackson that said about our rebuild that he expected us to be playing finals in 2016?  Hmmmm.

    That's rather ironic considering you post on and read Demonland

    Maybe if the players stopped doing the same stupid stuff when it counts against good opposition then the comments may change. 

    As big Carl posted “the definition of insanity”.......

    Against the weaker sides we get a lot of goals from inside 15m. We are number 1 for that stat. 

    Against the strong sides I suspect our shots at goal are from much further out because they don't let us get out the back.... I don't have the evidence to back that up but I think it probably holds true...

     

    I think I agree, again without stats to back it up. It also partly explains why Jeffy goes missing against the better sides.

    I don't know, a couple of posters seem to think he said that but I can't recall it. I went to the presidents lunch when we played St kilda at etihad as home game in 2016 and I was standing next to Peter Jackson and someone from AHG whilst some speeches were being made and I recall one of the speakers mentioned about making finals that year and he scoffed at the suggestion and made a comment along the lines l of a long way to go yet to the bloke from AHG.And yes the media do carry on like lovesick schoolgirls over certain players and clubs.

    Can't wait to see what cruelty they have in store for us next year! Maybe we could pull a North, win our first 12 matches then blow every match thereafter?

    Not like we haven't done it before.
    Made it a speciality during the "up" years under Daniher.

    Hutchy isn't. The rest of the panel were still confident and talking us up. For them it's disappointing. Hutchy is simply stating he won't fall for the hype until we do something relevant.

    Hutchy is full of sheet.
    Was all over us last year.
    Was continually telling them he was "Bullish" about the Demons when arguing with Lloyd.

    stats show we can get the ball into our scoring zone against good and bad sides, kicking straight is the issue. if we can solve that, i.e. get the guys to take more care then we can potentially beat any side.Two or three years ago we were playing roo's defensive game if someone had said we would be 2nd highest scoring team for the year, playing attractive football i would not have believed them. We turned a lot of things around and we are very much still work in progress. All or even a little going well for us we play finals this year. We have the potential to win one or two finals. I hope like hell we do so that it gives the players a taste and a hunger for next year when we will really be making our charge with hopefully everyone fit.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
