I read the thread title and thought 'Goddard tips' was about his hissy fit entering the change rooms at half time

    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!!

    We’re at least top 6 next year.

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

    Think properly at least.

    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.

    Seriously...you don't have to be nostradamus or an AFL legend to work out that we will recover.

    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.

    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.

    St Kilda will not beat us for the next three seasons and you can bet freely on that.....

    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”.

    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.

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

    • 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.
