What fresh hell awaits the Demons?

Not even the most broken, pessimistic Melbourne fan could have seen 2019 coming. A preliminary final appearance was followed up by a 5-17 season that was somehow even worse than a 17th-place finish would suggest. Only the faux AFL team on the Gold Coast conceded more points or scored fewer than the ...

If people had of been taking notice of the preseason you would of known it was going to be a crap year.

Good article imo. Everyone is unclear whether the Demons are as good as the 2018 model or as bad as the 2019 version. 
 

that’s fair enough. 2018 was an easy draw.  2019 was a tough draw and a shocking run of injuries to key players. 
 

still our ability to score and actually to kick the footy to hit targets was shocking. This simple improvement to AFL standard would be a huge lift. 
 

I’m tipping a 7-10 position this year with a good draw. 
 

Tmcd and Weideman have to be better. They have to get strong and mark the footy. We need a 40+ and a 25+ goal scoring year from these two. 
 

Fit and firing, we can beat anyone. Yes Anyone. But getting a fit squad is already proving hard to achieve and we haven’t even had a practice game.

Yeah, even easier with 20/20 vision.

We are going to win the flag this season.

I feel something special is brewing.

Goodwin should have had a plan B for all those injuries...

Please provide your posts indicating your opinion last year in pre season Drysdale Demon that we would have a poor season.

BTW prediction for 2020?

Works for me. Mrs W would have it wrapped in barbwire though

Similar to what happened to pedophiles in Bogo Road prison a few decades ago.

I wouldn't let her near those ........ she would serve the rest of her life in jail. (and think it was worth it and plead that she saved the taxpayers the burden of carrying the  ........ ). Mrs W has very definite views and don't get between her and a MFC player. We don't call her 'Muma Bear" for nothing.

Decent little write up, injuries can be forgiven for us having a poor year but there seemed to be a very poor mentality and there was little to no cohesion between the playing group. I really hope a good hard look at themselves and a decent pre-season has helped to fix those issues.

If (big if) most of those players that are currently in rehab are able to get themselves mostly right for the year than that will go a long long way towards us reclaiming some pride.
