I was able to spend more time with the kids which has been a real silver lining. In all other respects its been a year to forget.

Hopefully the Dees can finally get their act together in 2021 and who knows maybe land that elusive flag.

    Sometimes fortune or misfortune is all in the eye of the beholder,  there are always two sides, sometimes more sides to every story.

    To me 2020 started off with very high hopes to complete a lot of personal stuff and to "move on".  Footy as well. Then Covid !

    Now we are back at square one for many of us, just a wasted year very little achieved for some.

    So I say as well 

    I hope your 2021 is much better,      for everyone.       Best wishes and better fortunes to us all.  Come on Dees !!

    Can we skip it and move to 2022

    The hardest thing  I find is to think positive about 2021 and I don't mean football. The world has change and I may never again see like it has been all of my life .

    I hear you brother.

    My 2020 started ok, but got progressively worse as the year went on.  Living in Brisbane, working in a professional role and for a company moderately impacted, COVID wasn't a big thing for me.  Missing finals was a 'very ordinary' way to end our, season, but was a pleasant experience compared to some of the personal hell I've been through over the past few months.

    Mate of mine suggested that instead of new years eve parties, everyone should have a f#@$ off 2020 party on Jan 1 and that sounds like a dam good idea to me.

    When you thought it couldn't get any ****tier than fires, floods and pestilence, 2020's final gift to me mid December, was a kidney stone.  As it turned out, that was a backhanded blessing, as the CT scans detected a growth on the kidney, so my 2021 will begin with a biopsy and then who knows what!  I'm with Diamond Jim... can we just skip forward to 2022.

    Yes OD, I'm expecting that is what will happen, but if I live another 30 years on one, I've just about hit the ton, so I'm not sure I want it to be quite that effective ?

    Thanks mate... I'm pretty certain it's something, just what it is, I'm not yet sure.  In the words of a former coach, "it is what it is". ?

    We both need our football club to fire up. Finals in 2021 would be a good start.

    Funnily enough, I'm quite confident that we will make finals (and possibly top 4) this year.  Still not quite so confident that we'll get to attend many games that involve regular sized crowds; I doubt we'll see normality return until a vaccine has been distributed to the 70% or 80% (I think it is) of the population (I think that is the point at which the risk is supposedly mitigated).

    You are more confident than me Hardtack. I doubt I will see a game live in 2021 because in spite of what the feds say I cannot see us getting the vaccine any time soon. But my objective this year is be alive at the end of it. We are in the kill zone and I am being super conservative about where I go in 2021 and crowds are off the list.

    I don’t have an excess of years so sadly I would prefer not to lose one DJ.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
