    Yes, a tad scarred after the last predictions. Going light early on.

    Harmes to join the leadership group.

    Pickett nominated for goal of the year.

    I know it's only a prediction but there is no logic in Trac's one.

    More likely to be an AA than above.

    And to make a Prelim we would have needed him to star.

    Youthfulness and inexperience will limit how far we go, so no premiership. But we will at times put the fear of god into other teams.

    Dees make it to the GF against Brisbane Lions  

    Go into the final quarter with a 35 point lead. 

    Extend that lead by kicking the first four goals, stretching it to a 59 point, unassailable lead. Tears begin welling in the eyes of all Demons supporters. 

    Two minutes till full time. 

    Aliens arrive out of nowhere and begin attacking the earth. 

    Nobody hears the final siren over the panic.

    Turns out there was a whole planet of aliens who were Demons supporters and they only came to celebrate. Melbourne membership goes to a record 2.3 million in 2021 with a new category, intergalactic membership.

    As i have said for the last 49 years....

    Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

    Finals appearance with at least one win feels like about par given 17 18 & 19.  Anything less a bogey.  Anything more a birdie etc.

    2021/22 premiership window should be well open (subject to injuries and 2020 coaching /player efforts/performance).

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
