    Yep, he was hopeless in the season proper, especially in finals.

    Good article. Injuries and players out of form have exposed deficiencies in our game plan - but this is absolutely fixable, and IMO is not as dire as many here characterise it to be.

     

    Highest nimber of missing starting 22 games by a mile.

    With a developing list and coach this was alwa6us the issue. Gus didn't fluke 3rd on the Brownlow last year. Just needs a good professional pre season like most of his mates.

    All the rest of the commentary is fugazi with media needing to produce content no matter how shallow.

    We do not having a best starting 22

    Brownlow third means nothing. Woowie won one on the back of half a dozen or so red hot games.

    I rate nick. But ignoring him last 4 3rd place getters excl. gus were Martin ablett sam mitchell and swan josh kennedy. The point is gus is in good company and part of a reliable long term form predictor if he can get himself right.

    It ain't nothing mate.

    I think the sentiment has been more about how bad we have been for 55, yes 55 years.

    People need to stop living in the past. While I admire people who have supported the club for a long time the last time we won a premiership is not relevant to the coaches and players.

    Same could be said for every Club however other Clubs have blueprints for success. We have no road map. next year we will likely have no players with premiership success and a coach with no Premiership success.

    The most important thing that HAS to come from this year is that the match committee, coaching department, and players learn from it. I agree with Duck that we have a midfield that is very capable and we haven't been blown off the park many times this year, for me the two biggest issues this year has been low confidence and a game plan that is either super messy or the players aren't working to.

    We'll have a softer draw next year, that is a certainty. We will hopefully have players that have been struggling given the opportunity at a full pre-season. We will also have pick 2/3 to play with whether we go to the draft or we use it to trade with.

    It's been an awful year, I just want to move on from it.

    not sure how many teams have gone from 4th to 17th in one season and then bounced back to finals the following year and, perhaps its the MFCSS but I can't see how we will play finals next year. 

    We were fifth at the end of the home and away season not fourth.

    We did it or similiar in the 98  99 2000 period.

    Judd is also a finals believer on the dees in 2020. 

    the best season I have seen as a supporter was the 98 season. I left to live overseas in 99 and was gone for 10 years so last year was the best since 98 for me.

    News flash. Never coached to a GF let alone a flag. FACT.

    This:

    "it only takes one or two guys to be a little bit off for entire gameplans to break down. If one player is out of position, it can make several others look slow or indecisive. One break in the chain, and it can be detrimental to a team's overall confidence."

    You said he never had premiership success.

    You were wrong.

    At least get your facts right before trying to twist them poorly

    Last time

    A player with no premiership success means a player who has not played in a Premiership

    A coach with no Premiership success means a coach who has not coached to a premiership

    But you knew that in the first place and just wanted to argue. Maybe its the full moon.

    • NON-MFC: Round 7

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
