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.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
