Really MS does that add anything to the post?

Old news Irrelevant really Are we going to recover?

Yes but it needs all parts of the Club on the same page and  little bit of fortune.

At worst 8 wins best 15 and dare to dream!!

“AFL legend Brendan Goddard”. Lol

Good grief, did he write it himself?

His methodology is to rank Mids, Backs, Forwards & rucks. Top ranked gets 18 points worst gets 1. Add the all up to get overall ranking. 

His rankings for us Mids 8th Backs 13th Forwards 14th. Ruck 2nd. Add them up and get 39pts equal with Dogs at 7th,

Fun exercise to do our own rankings.  

Our midfield ranked 8th for clearances and 5th for i50's this season. We know how many were effected by bad preseasons. Add a newly fit Petracca, AVB Langdon & Tomlinson to that midfield. I rank it 4th.

Am I overrating a May & Lever led backline. I don't think so. I expect our backline to be right up there next year. My rank 4th.

Forwards remain a worry. Don’t know what ranking was in 2018 when they were fit but we scored the most points for the comp. With the rest of the team firing and a fully fit forward line and remembering it was the highest scoring forward line in 2018 maybe 6-8 with good delivery. 

Ruck 2nd. Says Gawny better tap ruckmand but Grundy gets first because does more around the ground. 

My rankings add up to 60 which ranks us 4th.

Legendary status is a fickle thing.
If the ball had've bounced for Milne he would have been after his heroics during the 2010 GF.
To the Aint fans at least.

Goddard doesn't have to inform the world that what most already  know. I could have done that  and saved him the  trouble.

Brendon Goddard has the Demons around the mark for a top-eight finish in 2020.

He agrees with me.

Last night I dreamed Saints pantsed us in a practice game, sinking membership sales. Does this mean I have MFCSS?

No that is perfectly normal behaviour for a Melbourne supporter.

This from a sulking whinger whose opinion I care even less about than that of Mark Robinson.

It continues to amuse me how every player in the AFL is described in mainstream media as an “AFL star”. Even the first year rookies are “stars”.

We’re at least top 6 next year.

Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn’t know how to think.

Think properly at least.

I have never bet on this club. But I will be having a decent go this year for top 4. As good a list as we have had in a long time. Touch wood we remain injury free leading into 2020.

I have never bet on football figuring I lose enough emotionally let alone financially. But one time I did think I should have a go because I had a good feeling, so I resolved to put $100 on us to make the eight. That was pre-season 1998. We'd finished last 1997, but Neale was just starting out and we had finished the end of '97 on a high.

It just felt right for recovery.

I didn't put the money down in the end, to my regret. I say back your instincts.

'Former AFL player agrees with Demonland legend'

Gotta pump your own tyres up, who else will?

Yeah you are right. My opinion counts, he can then agree or disagree.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
