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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
