What if May had of come to pre season fit?

What if J Smith had 've been taken off the ground rather than aggravate his groin?

What if McDonald & Weed were in form? 

What if Lewis wasn't so slow?

What if Jones passed the ball off instead of breaking tackles?

What if Clarry kicked the ball more?

What if Lever hadn't of gotten injured?

What if Goodwin tried a different plan?

What if he played Fritter as a forward?

What if he played Frost & Hunt on the wings?

What if the ladder was upside down? What if this season is just a nightmare & we all wake up 2moro morning?

What if.........?

    I look forward to seeing 'when' rather than 'what if'!

    He WAS taken off the ground.

    Did a fitness test on the boundary line, looked in agony, so obviously we sent him back onto the ground in a meaningless game.

    What if we held firm and demanded pick 5 off of Freo, and drafted Rozzee.

    What if we didn't sell the farm for Lever.

    What if Oliver didn't sh*t himself everytime he had the ball in close and dished it off like a hot spud.

    What if Petracca wasn't scared to take the game on.

    What if Brayshaw didn't turn the ball over so much and had penetration in his kick.

    What if we had two Christian Salem's.

    What if we didn't overrate Tom McDonald as a forward. He isn't a forward's a-hole.

    What if Gawn was an effective tap ruckman.

    What if Goodwin could coach.

    What if we dropped Lewis back to the VFL - where he belongs.

    What if Hibberd went with him.

    What if we had of kept Bernie Vince.

    What if.

    Agree with Rozee call, though we would have taken Bailey Smith

    What if we all just accept this year is a write off as disappointing as it is.

    What if we all stop blaming our coaches & players.

    There will be some serious egg on face in 12 months.

    We'd still be slow?

     

    The sad fact is that some of those were preventable (recruiting Lewis, who Cornes reckons would not have been offered a likeable deal by any other club) long ago.  Lewis didn't suddenly slow down over the pre-season.  He was slow when he walked in the door.

    The other sliding doors moment happened during the finals in 2018, where Scott and Geelong totally revamped their stocks (youth, talent), where we were comfortable beating slow teams on the G.  In contrast, we traded our way out of the super-draft, and paid big money for icing rather than cake.

     

    When this club has review at the end of 2019, all it had to do was read the preview here in the past few years.  That is the sad reality.

    Clint Bizkit: "Hi."

    TGR: "Jordan Lewis is slow, we never should have recruited him and we paid too much for Lever."

    Clint Bizkit: " We fumble too much and don't know what to do when we take a mark."

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
