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.

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

    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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
