The Roar online has us 13th

Featured Replies

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

Yes it is and we should aim to win both

burgess has taken these boys to another level, they now must believe in themselves to get the job done.

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!!

Loving the negative articles on the Dees. Love it, keep them coming.

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.

Yes he does, my apologies I forgot to add him

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. 


Better than 17th

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.

Let em talk [censored] all night, as far as i'm concerned.   I want them to place us low.

Who cares????

Agree with the early games comment.
A couple poor loses and their confidence will be shot and that .... Will be that.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
