Its a long season.

It's not just about a single season - this is a group that will be together for 5+ years (10 years for some).

People should go back and look at what happened to Geelong after they got to the Prelim in 2004. They spent two years going "backwards".ย Then ... wham.

It's happening because players are playing as individuals, not as a team. At the very least, they're not trusting each other.

Good onya for being earnest, Ernest. Let's not pull the shotgun out just yet.ย 

Go Dees

Of course part of the problem is that our anticipation and excitement was high because of last years 2 winning finals and the Demons were talked up by all over the summer. Wayne Carey is still a believer. Never thought I would say good for Wayne.ย  So our excitement has been dashed on the rocks of our expectations. Or at least we were lulled into a false sense of security.

I will try and take a leaf out of your book on positive thoughts and try and look at the whole show more constructively.ย 

During wartime, it looked likely that Germany would win both world wars but not to be. Our war has been going on a little longer which is another part of the problem. There areย many of us who are running out of time to taste the victory champagne. It''s no longer character building to follow the Dees and accept defeat. Lets go Demons.ย

Yep, true.

Patience is a virtue.ย 

Reluctant to post lately, I'd just be repeating myself from last year (Petracca- bust, Jones- gone, game Plan, no players with foot skills etc). But win the next 5 and we're in the 8.

I find it very concerning that players have to still "buy in" after we just missed a spot in a GF..... something not right there.

Other than that, no matter what Simon says.... we are unfit due to too many post season surgeries. No matter how much we expect, two way running won't be visible until they are fit enough, round 6 or round 15 who knows. I think a down year this year with an easier draw next year.

I'd be throwing the kitchen sink at Jeremy Cameron also.


Im beginning to wonder whether our 0-3 start has something to do with the 2017 camp, Gary Pert and Jesse Hogans body language.ย

I am seriously running out of time Ernest. However I accepted a couple of years ago that I would not see another flag and would acceptย a power team that would play finals most years. Well it looks like the run was one year a bit short of a run. But hey I have been here lots so lets enjoy the few joys we get this year and hope for a better 2020. Hmm 2020 has a good ring to it.

I am a fan of Oscar Mc but what he did on friday night was just plain dumb.

Having now watched the entire game back on TV, since I was at the game and obviously miss things there, I was absolutely stunned at Oscar on several occasions leaving his man and running to no mans land in between 2 Bombers and forcing Frost to try and run back to cover for him, thereby leaving his man.ย 

No wonder they had loose men and got uncontested marks in the forward 50, it was just ridiculous.

Then, when 2 backs jumped for the ball and Devon Smith is lurking behind the pack, near the Bombers goal, what does Josh Wagner do, he mans up on Smith, NO, he goes 3rd man up, leaving Smith to goal from the crumb. Wagner did this several times too.

Either our Coaches are dumb, or our players are or they allย are.

Manning up in those situations would have saved several goals and probably have seen us winning, despite the umpiring.

Seriously, this is under 8 's stuff. How the hell is it allowed to happen.

Lastly, Jetta, has lost all pace, Hibberd and Jonesย haveย lost theirย kicking disposal, our key forwards lead to the wrong spots, our small forwards are slow, can't kick goals and are not applying enough pressure to keep the ball in our forward 50 andย our mids don't help defensively.

Viney has no confidence from 30 out and passes to players in worse positions.

Max has no help.

Fix all that and we can make the finals and still have a good year.ย 

Last year start of the season, same errors:

- nobody minding goal square

- 2-3-4 players go the punch, while opposition left to crumb unattended (J Wagner has less awareness than Frost!)

- loose defenders, rarely manning up

- no chasing in middle of ground (Jones is worst offender, looks like he is above chasing his opponent)

- bomb into forward line

- donโ€™t lead in forward line

- donโ€™t tackle in forward line

- across the ground, everyone try get the ball, even from one another, while opposition just wait for it to come out

- Under 12s

It will take an amazing turnaround to win in Sydney.ย 

Anyway fingers crossed.

Go Dees!

One question to any of the guys who watch training. Do the backs all fly for the ball in training and try punch it, while nobody stays on the ground for the crumbs?

Speaking of honesty, did anyone see Jack Viney presser the other day!? [censored] hell one of the most cringeworthy interview i have ever seen.

Od I think Iโ€™ve tried to argue against you keeling over before we win another flag, Iโ€™m not too sure now. I think I might not make it to another one and Iโ€™m 40.

I didn't see it, but Viney has yet to impress in interviews. It's why Iย question whether he's truly the best choice for captain. I don't doubt his on field desire or his love for the club, but in my opinion, the role of captain includes being the voice of the club off the field. That part of the role has become significant and I don't think he fulfils that role properly.ย

Do yourself a favour and head over to the MFC website and have a watch..ย 

But i agree completely with everything you have said. I know he had limited pre season, but this is where his leadership will be put to the test now with us not winning a game yet. Will he be the one to pull us out of this rut?

No, but i'm guessing he talked about taking it one week at a time a lot?

Pointless exercise the first time around.ย 

No doubt itโ€™ll be carried out once again - probably for a similar outcome.ย

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
