If the longest flag drought will ever be broken 55years!

Not looking forward to watching one of my friends seeing their side win a flag!

Easy fix, don’t have any friends!

 

Looking forward to see if there has been any design changes to the timber ladle since the last one.

Saying goodbye  to quite a few players that havent really helped our season this year.

Hore to continue playing well.

No more injuries.

Summer holidays. 

 

 

I'm looking forward to next year but having an off season this year may be a blessing in disguise.  

Since the week break was between the regular season and finals was introduced, at least one of the final fours teams has missed finals the following year (including 2 of the three grand finalists) and one of the grand finalists have missed finals the year before.  

The difference that four or five weeks makes now, means that missing finals can be a real positive for teams that are looking to build towards the next season.  It means clubs can start their pre-seasons earlier and get their players in for surgery a lot earlier that they otherwise would.  

A full pre-season for us, getting any surgeries in early, an easier draw and a high drafts picks (that may be traded) will be a huge positive for us as we have a serious crack at the flag next year.

This year has been a real disappointment, but I'm very optimistic about next year! 

Port Douglas in August (the same weekend we play the pies - wife and in laws pies :( and they’ll be with us )

 

leishmann or day to win the auld claret 

tour de france

and yibbida yibbida that’s all 


Stevie G stopping the tims from making it nine in a row. 

Backline sorting itself out to make us a unit in 2020.

Jayden Hunt being leading goal scorer at the end of the season.

Beating Cartlon

 

We must win as many games as possible to lead us into next season in a good spot. Also needed if we are to continue increasing membership next year. And finally if players are playing hurt then give them extended rests and have a look as more of the kids to see if they can cut it for next season.


- Win 3 of the next 6 as the backline settles in and forward line regresses to the mean from complete disaster to ok

- Beat the Tigers and Pies to disrupt their run in to finals

- Coast the last 2 weeks to preserve draft position and then dive in to the mock drafts

- Seeing what Lockhart, Baker, Hore can keep doing and maybe adding Dunkley and Chandler to the list of debuts.

- Hopefully adding Hannan and Kolodjashnij to the list of guys we might be able to rely upon in positions of weakness

- Preuss!!! I'm not a believer that he's best 22 but I think he needs a run of games at some stage to preserve Gawn

- Vanders, Jetta, Joel Smith, Tommy Sparrow all back healthy and ready to do a full preseason

I think we had 18 marks inside 50 but couldn’t buy a goal.!!!!!!

Be careful what you wish for. Someone might go and do it, and then you'll want them to do it again. Before you know it you're dependent and could end up on bigfooty.

It's a gateway football act.

All about the development heading into 2020 from here!  Want to see some wins, confidence and synergy in the team so we can hit the ground running next season.


- Would love to see Baker getting some more games into him; Baker and Hunt roaming the wings of the MCG could be a dangerous proposition.

- getting some quality game-time into Lever, May, Hibberd, Salem, Hore, Jetta, Lockhart, etc.  Let them learn how to predict and play off each other in the second half of the year so there's no growing pains round 1 2020. 

- Sparrow and Dunkley starting to get some form at Casey and start to beat down the door for seniors.

- AVB to make a full recovery and get some games in, before a quick rest and ready to go for day one of pre-season.

- Petracca playing full time in the mid-field with little spells up forward.  Let him feel the heat and intensity so he knows how far his endurance needs to improve going into the next pre-season.  Want him built like Jobe Watson round 1 2020.

- Weideman is looking like Max Gawn in 2014.  He's reading the ball and getting to the right spots, but it's just not sticking.  When they start to stick, then we'll have a real player on our hands.

- Brayshaw in the guts.

- Harmes to continue with his current trajectory; he is a gun and one of the most underrated players going round.

- Oliver, Brayshaw, Petracca, Viney, Harmes with Gawn in the center square - we really shouldn't be losing many clearances.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
