    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.

    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

    • 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.
