This should be fun,

Obviously everything is going wrong right now so naturally people are trying to work out why. Recently the infamous camp was brought up again as a possible turning point. Now I thought that was as far back as anyone could go. But of course before that the was the trade for our 2nd best defender, Lever. Getting a young star and future leader into the club, surely that's where we stuffed up! But this morning I'm reading about Jones' "haunting past" with a link to an article that's now 5 years old! I think it's time to set the challenge to demonlanders:

What's the oldest and/or most irrelevant article you can find that explains our current situation. Get creative, I will accept anything from footy to climate change to astrology. All you need to do is explain why it [censored] us up so badly. If we're going to complain, might as well make a game of it.

 

 

For mine it was our home base training ground needing new drainage, oh, no wrong, i forgot,  we never had one, 

 

Norm Smith curse, Brent Croswell, the buckanara goal, is c k watts and omac. In that order.

Surely the Norm Smith Curse is still relevant?

You're not even trying!

I reckon there's something in the Magna Carta about it.


We need to find out why the Cleveland Browns in the NFL have the same luck as us and do the opposite.

Not a bad record by Jethro Tull, before Ian Anderson lost his voice and then Sacked guitar Maestro Martin Barre!

Can't believe there have been six posts in this thread and none of them have mentioned 186.

@Sir Why You Little would be disappointed.

Nah, have to be a comment re: Membership - so I guess we go also back to the 60's when the members transferred to Hawthorn...


I’d go as far back as building our home ground on an aboriginal corroboree site.

Rebuilding since 1964?

Allowing co-tenants at the MCG has cost us home ground advantage.

Let all the other victorian teams play at their suburban [censored] holes.

In 1884 the MCG grandstand that housed our goalposts burnt down. I believe the trauma is still being felt.

???

Someone probably needed to heal that ooze. By not doing so, it all drained away.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
