If any of you bother to read the online Roar, they have an article comparing Bombers and Demons. The end result we are 13th and bombers 12th.

Not much love in the artlicle for Viney.

I think they are mistaken but I would read your views   Go Dees 2020 !!

    Good. It is up to the entire MFC to prove these articles wrong

    Nobody outside the MFC (apart from Cam Mooney) rates or trusts us after last years shambles, i wouldn’t

    So it is entirely up to us

    Agreed, it's up to the players to prove them all wrong.

    Kane Cornes does and he is one of our harshest critics.

    Our biggest problem is the first 2 games. We have to win one of them otherwise the bad shackles may start to appear.

    Probably the hardest start in the competition given the ladder predictions in the Hun but if we win both, lid off.

    I don’t think 0-2 would be a complete disaster with our draw as long as we don’t get smashed by 10 goals in each match

    Agreed, SWYL. Run the weagles off their feet.

    If we know one thing, we will be fit for round 1.

    Can I throw in, the coaching staff need to be more than one dimensional.

    advice within the coach’s box needs to happen. Whether that advice is acted upon, who knows, but at least they should be putting options or proposals. 

    even if we are winning by a few goals, not to sit back and watch, and let it happen. But make it happen!!

    Go Dees 2020

    Someone tell 'The Roar' we have pretty  much a fully fit list to choose from , the total opposite to the start of 2019.

    Oh and we added elite and electrifying talent in Pickett,  LJ and Bennell to a list that won two finals 18 months ago.

    Spot on.

    The positivity will evaporate, Goody will get a bit nervous, and Ross will suddenly be thirsty for coffee.

     

     

    Who knows, the club might be turning another leaf.  The ditching of the co-captaincy and leadership group pscyhobabble might be small signs that the club is finally doing things their way.  Failing is OK, but be bold and do things our way.  Get inspired by others, but don't go the easy copy cat.  The well worn path doesn't last.  In 2015, the smart folk (Hardwick & TiGeR) were watching how the bulldogs were going about things; while the simpletons were trying to photostat Hawthorn who had just three-peated.

    If Goodwin feels the pressure in 2020, like I think he will, instead of giving him the flick, just make him a long-term no.2; which means Richo or Ross get a 4 year gig as El Supremo.

    We deserve them

    We were a complete joke last year, but contrary to what Maxh5 says, i think Pert is driving most of this change. He knows he needs a good product on show before he can grow the Club. 
    The players drive this club ultimately. 
    first step: get them Super fit Physically and Mentally

    challenge them hard

    that is what this video is all about

    Last year the difference between 7th and 14th was 3 wins (12 v 9).

    2018 there was 1 win between 7th and 12th (13 v12).

    2017 the gap from 7th to 12th was 2 wins (12 v 10).

    Positions are more than likely going to be very close in that middle range of the ladder, possibly all the way from 4th to about 14th.

    Keep that in mind if you get too caught up in predictions. Or do you own and try to work out where to put teams like Hawthorn, Essendon, Port Adelaide, North Melbourne and Fremantle.

    Barely means anything, but I’m also glad that across the AFL media in general, the team are being left to pump their own tyres. 
     

    I refuse to buy into the “0-2 = disaster” line of thinking though. For one, it’s two games out twenty-three, for gawd’s sake. And secondly, I don’t want to spend almost an entire season thinking the whole thing’s futile.

    Very good.  Lets talk ourselves down, outside the club, in public.  And then we'll come out full of steam and clobber them all.

    Let the talkers talk, and well do the walking.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
