Carlton back in now familiar territory. Rather them than us!

    I liked the synonymous sitcom with Ade Edmondson and Rik Mayall but never said I was addicted to it.

    The more the AFL survives the less the change 

    Carlton 2018 last

    Carlton 2019 last.

    Obviously if they win today then they will go above us so hope not.

    Can we win 2 in a row or is that still too much expectation 

    (can we defend on the big MCG, more to the point?)

    Off the bottom, now what second/third bottom -  meh, who cares.

    I only care what we have achieved at the end of the season.

    If we beat St Kilda next week, we will be in pretty much the same win/loss position as the same time last year.  The key difference will be that I think our draw from there on will get harder rather than easier, but if we can't raise our game to the point where we can consistently beat the better sides, then what's the point of making finals anyway.

    I think our fortunes from here will largely rest on how we recover injury wise.  If we can get back some of our guns like Lever, May, AVB, Hannan etc, without losing too many other quality players, our back half of the year could be pretty dam impressive.

    If it wasn't for Carlton being on the bottom of the ladder, I would have started to wonder whether along with 6-6-6 and other rule changes, the AFL had brought in some other rule or interpretation that the ladder was to be read in reverse. Who, in all honesty, would have predicted before the beginning of the season that all of Brisbane, St Kilda, Gold Coast and Fremantle would be in the top 8 at the end of round 4?

    I reckon a few umpires with new brown paper bags thought they could swing it.

    I haven't seen us do it yet and therefore expect to lose against a hard running and speedy Saints.

    It will be interesting to see the Goodwin tactics

    Off the bottom...

    Such lofty ambition. Haven't our achievements changed from the predicted !!

    I'm just all warm and fuzzy about this.

    Surely.... anything from 9 down....is just the bottom ??

    Look at us...golleeeee...the foundation club doing what we've done best..... supporting the ladder !!

    We need to be in the 8 by the midpoint of the season - therefore need to string some wins together - lose this week and it's a long way back

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
