    We will see what occurs over the next 4 to 5 weeks to answer that correctly.

    So you don't rate the demons then. If you're still unsure, then you already know the answer.

    In 5 weeks you will be saying exactly the same thing. 
    We are 4-0 without a key forward

    I’m listening to abc Carlton v PA. My thoughts- Brendan Goddard is a miserable b@stard.

    Some thoughts:

    1. How many who are sticking the boot into St Kilda this year used the phrase "they've gone past us" last year?
    2. I haven't watched the game but Sydney's loss probably suggests they are going to have off days when their kids play poorly. They're not a strong defensive side so if they don't score they'll struggle to win.
    3. There is so much talk about Richmond in this thread. We're not playing Richmond this week.
    4. Tomorrow is a huge game for us.

    The amount of times I’ve heard the Saints and Blues have gone past us in the past year. 

    play the long game guys. We have the better squad. Obviously it is yet to be seen if we will be successful but we are well ahead of those two atm

    Totally. I was incredibly frustrated to see the Saints playing finals footy last year while we were in no mans land, but at no stage did I think what they were doing was sustainable.

    I've never thought the Blues were ahead of us, even in 2019.

    Ladder position at this stage is highly influenced by the draw and form of teams in the early season. Doggies have had a good early draw, and, to their credit, have “filled their boots” (as the Could—a-beens would say) . These distortions ease or can be seen by Round 8-9, we’re doing ok (as are the doggies), but it’s early days in season 2021. 
    interestingly, if we were to assault this year for a flag we’d have to confront the Tiger dynasty and overcome it. Loved being reminded that Mark Williams flag ended the Lions dynasty...

    just say’n 

    Go dees

    So Geelong should win tomorrow, but that will leave Brisbane in 9th despite being 2-3. They finish with 4 at home, too. They should be able to set themselves up for a serious tilt this year despite the bad start.

    As to our start: Geelong will win tomorrow, which will mean we've beaten 9th, 10th or 11th (depending if Fremantle wins), 12th and 13th, with 17th as well if we win tomorrow. Our opponents have a joint record of 10-10 (a Geelong win tomorrow makes it 11-10, if we win tomorrow it will be 12-14).

    It's not a terribly weak start. If we win, we'll only have played one of the current bottom five.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
