We have to keep the faith.  Are we really that bad? I don't think so it was just a brain faze. The talent is there ,just have to unlock it as it comes from  above the shoulders.

Paid no extra for Grand Final Guarantee - scepticism vindicated!

No finals - saved a heap of money. 

2019 - budget balanced.

Time to spend the extra money on a holiday. Far, far away.

10 positives

1- big Max Gawn is a superstar. Huge heart and despite others falling away, he had a fantastic year.  Deserves All Australian.  Will finish top 10 in the Brownlow in a team that won 5 games.  Lots of 2 votes rather than 3 votes will reduce his finish though. 

2- we found Hore, Lockhart and Petty.  Each showed me they will be part of our future. 

3- we are back at the top of the National Draft. Yes it’s a sign of bad times and we’ve had enough, but we should get Ash or Young (Suns will be gifted 1-2 combo). Either Ash or Young are very good. Prefer Ash as he is tough and quick. 

4- Sam Frost showed he can take on key forwards.  His round 23 game v Brown showed his ability to shut down key forwards. His chase down of Petruccelle was also a highlight 

5- Fritsch is a forward.  Hopefully the last 7 weeks showed Goodwin not to put Fritta in the back pocket. His round 23 mark was my Dees mark of the year 

6- Trac and Salem took a step up. Two highly rated 1st round picks. They are behind oliver and Brayshaw but showed their value.  In a tough year, they can hold their head up. 

7- Misson is gone ( Burgess has some serious fixing to do)

8- Lever and May played only a handful of games yet showed they will be very good and even better together to control the defence. Looking forward to 2020. 

9- injuries killed us in 2019.  It couldn’t be that worse in 2020 surely 

10- footy showed the inflated egos that you need to work hard and it doesn’t just happen. YOU BECOME THE HUNTED.  Lesson learned to all at MFC... I hope 

Norm.. of all D'landers!

Wash your mouth out sir, throw salt over your shoulder, 10 hail marys etc !!!

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
