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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
