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.

 

C'mon man.
You can't talk of watching the Bulldogs and Tigers and then throw in Ross Lyons name.
Polar opposites.

And if we want to build a clubs membership that people want to watch getting free to air TV time and sponsors, you can't have Lyon killing any creativity the players have with his mind numbing game plan.

    Didn’t The Roar predict that we’d finish top 4 (or better) in 2019?

     

    If correct. Then I hope their predictions are just as close.  I think with the bounce of 18 th spot that just puts us in the eight. 
    early morning arithmetic sorry need more coffee !!

    Genuinely there would be one thing that would make me question renewing my membership, that would be getting Ross Lyon on board. Overrated, and negative coach.

    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

    Agree. Its how we perform in the first 2  games that counts.

    Close losses will make everyone afraid, and the team could/should easily go to 3 -  2 up(Freo, saints, Gold Coast) and then onward and upward

    2019, predicted us to be 4th and Brisbane 12th.

    Adelaide to win the 2018 flag and West Coast to finish 8th.

    In April 2019 the Roar predicted the final 8 and had only one place correct. They correctly tipped 6 of the 8 finalists although those 6 picked themselves and had this gem of a prognostication about the Dees.  I loved the nothing had happened in pre-season comment.

    Melbourne tops the ladder with at least 17 wins
    And here we go. This column has already covered its feelings towards the Dees, and nothing that happened in the preseason has changed its mind.

    Melbourne will start the year with a couple of its key pieces on the sidelines, but it won’t matter given the strength of its midfield, and the aggressiveness of coach Simon Goodwin and his crew’s strategies.

    As Roos says:

     

    ”I am a Leo Barry dropped mark away from being a nil flag coach; Rossy Lyon is a Milne bounce and Ablett toe-poke away from being dual premiership coach”.

     

    Trust a supporter of a club that has been failure personified to view Lyon as overrated and negative.

    True, but that's not what has happened. And while he got Freo to a Grand Final, since then they've been mostly mediocre and constantly going backwards (while putting their supporters to sleep). Perhaps overrated is unfair, but negative is not, and he's done little recently to have me want him at the helm.

    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.

    #theyknowearecoming
     

    The quote from this Cameron Rose, "expert",  in the article is "Maybe it was injuries that cruelled the Dees last year, even though all clubs have them. Maybe it was complacency after having achieved nothing."

    He's a Richmond supporter. So easy to criticise when you're on the winning side. Ignore him.

    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 !!

    The Roar are a bunch of muppets.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
