how did kevin07's 2020 summit go?  iirc kevin rejected 133 out of 135 proposals with hardly a murmur from the 4th estate

Exactly. Hawke’s Canberra Summit in ‘83 got a lot of people talking but it was hard to measure it for success.

    Keep going Supreme. There is only one person who is bringing the thread down. We all want success. 
    last year took a lot out of me...

     

     

    Thank you, I appreciate the kind words.

     

    I totally understand everyone's frustrations. But we need to stick together.

     

    I remember how disappointing the year 1999 was. Especially after we beat Essendon in round 7 that year. I thought we were on the rise after that game....but we fell in a heap and ended up finishing 3rd last.

     

    2019 was bitterly disappointing as well. Especially after the highs of 2018. Nevertheless, that has been very much dissected by all of us already.

     

    In the end...I won't give up. We deserve Premiership glory....but the team needs to earn it.

    No mate. We don’t deserve anything

    We don’t fight hard enough, on or off the field. We must fight for our rights
    You would think after a 162 years the Club would realize that

    Good point. I agree.

     

    Nobody deserves anything.

     

    You gotta earn it.

    That is the answer

    John Kennedy learnt that from Norm Smith in the late ‘50’s. They were very close friends

    Whorethorn have never forgotten it since

    Sadly we have. 
    The club just never works hard enough, for what ever reason. 
    Results do not lie. Since 1964, every year Clubs have done it better than us

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
