Jon Ralph won't be on the field. Actually, I'm not sure if he's ever taken the football field? 

The fact he has not played football, does not necessarily invalidate his analysis.

Exactly. Milestones are individual 

Finals are for everyone

That has been my point

I am enjoying your selective definition of the word milestone to suit your position.  But this dictionary seems to say otherwise:

  1. a stone set up beside a road to mark the distance in miles to a particular place.
     
  2. a significant stage or event in the development of something.

You brought up the death word when talking about milestones.

Good night

Absolutely.

Jim should always be honoured. It wasn’t a good game when we clapped for 1 minute, not at all

You really  think Finals are Milestone games?

We should be aiming for Finals every year as a Standard, only because we have been rubbish for so long, do Supporters expectations fall

We have seen basket case teams and this MFC team is not one. 

Gawn and Oliver are as good as any player.  
Next level NEEDS to step up. 

our next 10 can all improve and get fit and on the park  

May. Trac. Brayshaw. Harmes.  Viney. Lever. Melksham.  Tmcd.  Salem. Hibberd.

Jetta will be back and makes a difference.  

Langdon and Tomlinson already will make us better 

Weidemans development is crucial.  If he FINALLY fulfills his promise and lifts his hunger and intensity, we will look very dangerous again.  

Vandenberg KK Jsmith are all needing to overcome injury issues and will be huge bonus if fit. 

Hore has the making of a very solid midsize defender. His marking reminds me of a Harry Taylor type  

Fritsch showed again that he is a very skilled and dangerous forward. Definitely a best 18 player now. 

Can Hunt and Hannan develop any more.  Both very good and important as goalkickers.  

Baker cwagner Spargo need to show more in 2020 to stay on the list 

we can see potential already in Petty, Sparrow, Lockhart, Jordan and Chandler. Bedford and Bradtke are still raw but likely  

list cloggers like Jkh, JWagner, Omcd need to go

It’s plenty of sunshine ahead with the right coaching, intensity, game strategy and importantly fit and healthy playing list.

  • 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?
