    What a totally disgraceful decade. (So were the previous 40 years before  that....)
    will we now improve as a Club?

    Or slip back to being exceptionally mediocre....

    mediocrity would probably be described by most as a dramatic improvement on our present status

    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.

    Fairly sure Fitzroy would be propping us up...

    And there are still many posters here that insist the elephant in the room is really a moose.

    Maybe not if Brisbane is included...

    The old Fitzroy team was pretty good before they hit the skids and had to fold.

    After we build our training base venture and social club.  I reckon things will change around this club, and the club itself,  for the better.

    A lasting change.  Not a seasonal,  'strength of list'  type change,  but one of Identity.  Our Identity.    The sense of belonging.

    We have to improve on field before any of what you mentioned ever gets built.

    Hardly surprising but still depressing to look at. Surely the 20's can be our decade, our fans deserve it!!! ?

    A new decade comes, new beginning. God I'd love nothing more to see that ladder flipped so the Cats, Hawks, and Swans fans can experience our depression! (Cat's fans especially)

    The decade does not finish until the end of next year, so we still have time to improve our ranking!

    No obviously 2020 starts the 20's !!!

    2000 strayed the new millennium !

    Its not like leap year or anything else simple and uncomplicated!

    2000 was the last year of the previous millennium.   It was the 2000th year.  The new millennium started in 2001.  

    Why do you think Federation occurred on 1st January 1901?

    Think of it like your birthday.  You don't turn 21 (for example) until the end of your 21st year, or year 21.  You then commence year 22, your 22nd year, at the end of which you will turn 22.

    2021 will be the start of a new decade.

    You’re only as good as your last season. 

    Edit: Scratch that, I’ll take third worst over a decade.

    Federation is just the date at the time a year later than the start of the  milinium.

    Because people mistakenly thought it was the start of a new millennium because it was the year 2000. 

    You're still making the same mistake.

    I'll dumb it down for you.  The first decade is years 1 to 10.  The second decade is years 11 to 20.  The third decade is years 21 to 30.

    The first century is years 1 to 100.  The second century is years 101 to 200.  And so forth.

    The first millennium is years 1 to 1000.  The second millennium is years 1001 to 2000.  Etc, etc.

    There is no year zero.  The first year is year one.  The hundredth year is year 100.  The thousand year is year 1000.

    If you still have doubt, Google it.

    I think mediocrity is about right for the last few years. It's the first half of the decade where we could just dream of reaching the heady heights of mediocrity.

    Sometimes waiting to strike Lasiter's, is just waiting too long.

    Sometimes going into hock to get it done, is the way to get there sooner.

    Like so many off the other clubs have done.  If we get into trouble, let the other clubs and league bail us out.

    Mate you dumbed that down so far even I could get it.

    This country is getting dumber by the year.

    Good luck teaching idiots

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
