Cant help but feel , like everyone here, overwhelmingly depressed about this year. Thought Id start a thread about what is left ( if there is anything at all)  to be interested in or hopeful for,  for the rest of the year given finals are done. 

In no particular order.

1. The new players. Especially Jay Lockhart. Have the sense he could be a gun. Looking forward to seeing him find his feet and play a few more games getting ready for a big 2020. But him and Baker and Dunkley in particular will def have my full interest. 

2. Lever and May playing together at last. Get a  glimpse of how those two, with Frost and Hore look all in the same backline. Could be exciting.

3. Weids taking further steps into his game. Maybe one really big one of 5 or 6 goals to just whet the appetite for next year. 

4. Finding form and beating one or two really good sides before the end of the year.

5. Resting Tmac and Viney

6 looking at draft picks

7 Petracca kicking  a bag. 

Anybody got anything else?

I’m not really looking forward to anything Demons related. If I had to choose something it would be the progression of Baker. 

Non-Demons related, I’m looking forward to Essendon not making the finals again.

Geelong choking in finals again would be funny.

Fremantle, from 8th, eliminating 5th-placed West Coast.

The Port Adelaide football club going into fits of self-hate after missing the finals with nobody to blame but themselves.

Ditto Richmond.

Demons going undefeated after the bye, for 13 wins total and a 7th placed finish, ahead of the Dockers and five other teams all on 12 wins with better percentage than us.

I am hoping that we string some good wins together. Seeing Lever and May playing some good footy together and avoiding any serious injuries. Oskar B  has plenty to offer and should accumulate good game time  and more so in the midfield. He has the talent and the speed and above average skills and most of all he is a goer. Hore and Frost to keep improving just love their commitment. 

Like to see more of Lockhart and young Mid recruit in Kyle Dunkley make his Debut soon. I like to see Petracca playing stress free footy and kicking a bag of goals.

We have the talent just have to find the passion.  I look forward to finishing the season off strongly. Think what you like if we lose more than 10 games we cannot make the  8 however the candle will burn while we have a mathematical chance.

  I must keep the faith until we can't make it.  That is what keeps me going.

If we win thr next 5 in a row we will then enter the mathematical possibility conversation - one can only dream. 

In seriousness I'd oike to see our best 22 gel and start playing some good footy, finish the season with minimal injury, make some changes in the off season (not to drastic) and give 2020 a massive crack.

Lets just all enjoy the next 10 2020 pre season  practice matches without the pressure of making 2019 finals.

I'm looking forward to May, Lever & Frost gelling.

Tom McDonald remembering how good he is.

Sam Weideman living up to his preseason promise of helping us forget about Jesse Hogan.

Deciding what part of my body I'm getting my 2020 premiership tattoo.

Hoping to see Goody develop a possession / momentum game style a la the Hawks/Cats before the season is out and we recruit Cameron in 2020.  A Clean out of any forwards who can't learn to take some overhead marks and kick at around 50% conversion before season 2020 begins.  Mids start kicking to favoured side of forwards more often (this season).  Some speed, class & finish on the outside for 2020!  Clarry, Viney and any other inside mids connecting with outside runners that aren't sitting 3 to 5 feet away and about to be tackled and who can escape their opponents with burst speed and deliver nicely inside 50.

A Kyle Dunkley debut, Gawn smashing a “sore” Grundy again in the return fixture, winning the toss against Norf in R23 and kicking with the wind in the opening quarter. 

Like most, this household is feeling pretty flat.

Would also like to see if Goody and the match committee have the gonads to omit players severely out of form.

I just hope ALL the Coaches are putting in 12 days over the bye week to try and sort out some remedies. I expect wins in the the last 10 games. 

This Club better not put the Cue in the rack and say “oh it’s too hard”

KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o
