Says it all really I thought it was bad but not this bad.

Basket case for so long.

Now is the time to push for a great next decade

Starts now.

No wonder there is pessimism around here. 

 

its better than I thought to be honest , I would have had us and carlton as worst by far

mind you the best team of the decade isn't that much better , whats one grand final win between friends ;) back in 2011 

We were horrible for 5 years of that. Not close to AFL standard. Those days are over.


Who cares. Not sure anyone would have expected any different.

I knew we were bad, but I didn’t think we’d be worse than Carlton. That’s pretty damning. When will we finally come good?! It’s been 50+ years!

2020 is a fresh start. Here’s hoping we show some improvement for [censored] sake.

You Forgot ... apart from 64 the rest of that period was also Dismal!!

With the exception of not winning a premiership I would take the 90s/00s any day over the 10s. 

Agreed we had a good side in the 90s if not for injury to some key players could have pinched a flag, the old what if Schwartz never did his ACL 3 times and Jakovich and his back

Of course.   Id like to see a decades ladder for those two decades though .     I bet we are sill well outside the 8 in both the 90s and 00s.

Gillon Mc has seen this and granted the Dees some compensation.  We will get

1st priority pick in 2020 draft

mid 1st round pick in 2021 draft

exclusive access to Gippsland zone for the next 5 years

Gillon Mc said “for the benefit of the game and the long term strength of the code, we need every team being competitive across many years”  

 

sorry- it was all a dream!! we are not the Suns 

 

 

At least we get our fridge magnets right, unlike team #1.

 


Great reading. Onwards and upwards....again.

Top 2 Wins out of the 74.

Geelong Elimination Final - 2018

WCE Round 22 -2018

Edited by Dee Zephyr

looks pretty similar to the ladder this year.

equalisation my back side

carn Dees, turn it around, we have the cattle


The decennium horribilis!

Am 87 to 91 was all top 4, 2000 are not all bad a grand final, finals in 2000 2002 2004 2005 2006, so, the only decade we need not play finals was 70' s

Just now, don't make me angry said:

If we ran a ladder from the 70's through to now I'm guessing we would be holding the thing up at the bottom.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
