Undefeated and on top of the ladder, but there's very little excitement on demonland.  Have we all been so deeply scarred that we're expecting this bubble to burst in a spectacular way?

We just have to keep performing consistently to hopefully get a top 4 and then give ourselves a crack at the flag.

It’s not like it hasn’t happened in the past. Most Deez fans (IMO) won’t allow themselves to even think about daring to dream coz that leaves us open to bitter disappointment should the “bubble burst.”

Have you never heard of MFCSS? Only known cure is a flag.

A long way to go however if you asked me at the start if we would be 7 Zip I would have committed you to the looney bin. Take the 7/Zip and hopefully move on. Just hope when we do lose a game that we bounce back the next week. With this start I am looking for a top 2 finish and home finals.

Beaten by the dogs in the first two quarters. The dogs drank from the bath and Richmond played a good 3rd quarter. One, maybe two quarters is not really drum beating.

Maybe when they are at full strength, their mojo may come back. At the moment they are middle of the road and have to fight hard for wins.The Dogs got found out. Mental weakness, which we aren't showing this year.

We are playing for the 120 minutes (North aberration), unlike other years, when we relied on a couple of good spurts. 

Hope that they are perceived as the team to emulate and beat. We can fly under the radar. Though they would all love us to drop a game and then falter. I can't see us doing a mid-season collapse 

We are looking good. Doing well, converting the inside 50's to scores and with the stats that are important this season.

We are hard to beat.

Keep rolling along Dees.

Just taking a deep breath here. We had a scare against a lowly team, we now have a couple of important injuries, and there’s a long way to go yet. There’s bound to be a few bumps and blips on the road to come.

I’m really enjoying footy at the moment, but I’ll be burnt out by the end of the year if I stay excited the whole time.

I think the Tomlinson and Viney injury coupled with the first half against North put the lid back on in my eyes.

Yeah, disaster is never far off. Next few weeks will see some retooling which may not leave us with the best product. Head down, bum up, and we'll see how we go.......

A bit of sarcasm puts strains on my enthusiasm.

If you cannot enjoy football when you are 7 zip   when the hell can you.  Accept that's what we have and enjoy it   Long may it last.

In the terms of the old joke,    how can you drink whiskey when you are dead ?    Drink it  now !    not with bathwater though,

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
