I love the attitude... [censored] picks. I just want wins, if that means 9th place finish with pick 10 as apposed to a pick 3 I really don't care. We can just draft another Christian Salem rather than a toumpass 

Absolutely. We need more than anything else to establish a culture of winning.

We have had 55 years of not winning. Done that.

I would love it if we win enough game to make 9th.

I look forward to the posts on DL bemoaning the crows and WC losses. 

Look at our last effort to bottom out. Netted us money bags, trenners and the toump (sounds like a bad SA breakfast radio slot). All gone.

Win. Win. Win. i for one have watched enough bloody losses by my team.

    Not sure if many follow the NHL around here, but here is an optimistic story for every Demonlander.

    The St. Louis Blues were dead last in the NHL on January 3rd this year (that's 31 teams). This was around the halfway mark of the season. They then went on a huge run, made it into the playoffs and are now one game away from winning the Stanley Cup (series lead 3-2).

    Maybe we shouldn't give up just yet?

    Also [censored] the Bruins

    Did Lever get through todays training session??


    Man it is exciting having May and Lever in the 18. 

    JKH bit stiff to miss out but he did butcher the ball. Hannan was more deserving of the chop but stays in for positional need and as he is a better player

    INT: Spargo - Hibberd  -Stretch - Preuss - Weed - ANB - Garlett - Wagner

    My guess: Hibberd, Weed, Garlett, ANB

    out Wagner, Spargo, Stretch, Wagner 

    Contrary to popular opinion I don't agree with everything this FD does, I'm struggling to justify the Lever selection.  If he doesn't get seriously re-injured then I guess they're vindicated.

    Edited by Fifty-5

    I like the ins. Would be happy to see Hore, Salem and may or lever back. Not sure if we should play both lever and may due to match conditioning. 

    Im just happy that we no longer have to hear about Jack watts and his debut game and hear the pies people say it's our grand final. 

     

     

    I know that teams rarely line up as selected but I do like Salem and Baker on the wings.  Both have nice kicks, have composure and aim at targets rather random bombs. 

    And add Fristch as the attacking defender and we should see a marked improvement in delivery i50 from all three.

    This deserves its own thread.

    Would you like to do the honours or shall I?

    Agree 100%. I hated the tanking year then and still do. That Richmond game Is in my top 3 of the worst games I have witnessed. Win as many as possible and worry about the rest in September.

    Have you seen the video of Lever's rehab in the USA?

    It made me cringe when I was watching the amount of force and twisting and turning he was putting on his knee - and that was in January!

    Not sure if the link works but that's great that the boys will be leading melbourne out. I did think it was something the club should do, it's only a small think but it could give the boys just a little lift. I thought it could be done at a home game, not sure why but queens birthday is pretty special though.

    Link doesnt work as the classy herald Sun have put the article  behind a paywall.

    Lets profit off the death of a 40 year old woman and her grieving sons.  Brilliant!

    Settle down. 

    Just down at Rye for the weekend and every second car in a very busy car park at woolies has demons member 2019 stickers on the back. Don’t think we we have many at the game come Monday ?

    PS no snow here so not sure what we’re all going to do for the weekend? Drink?

    Final bench for mine would be Hibberd, Weideman, Garlett and Spargo. 

    In: Lever, May, Hore, Salem

    Out: Kennedy-Harris, O.McDonald, Stretch, J.Wagner

    Goody may go with Preuss instead of Spargo, but I don’t think so.

    Bingo!

    • 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.

    • 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.
