I know I am one of the worst offenders. I have made a lot of posts since yesterdays debacle, the majority of them irrational and maniacal

If you scan back to the board after round 2 last year, and round 3, it would have been much of the same thing

We will destroy the Cats next week, make no mistake. They are an average team, whom we have the wood over in the last few of years.

the Demons are just slow starters, we should know that by now

A multi pronged forward line next week of Miller, Sylvia, Yze, PJ Davey and Newton will give Geelong fits. They wont know who to put on who.

HF - Sylvia Miller Davey

F - Yze Newton PJ

Sylvia to boot 5, Newtton 4

Order will be restored this Sunday at the G

Demons by 45!!!

    Hand over those happy pills already! :P

    No Neita, Robbo, McLean or Pickett... if we get within 45 point of Geelong it will be a mighty effort.

    You'd have to think atleast a 10 goal win!

    Aaah yes. YM is the cheese in the demonland gourmet sandwich.

    My prediction. A loss by 1 point.

    Why?

    Have a look at the dees form compared to that of this time last year...

    Round 1 2006 - Woeful opening. No players playing well. Just the one good one who was unexpected (Carroll).

    Round 1 2007 - Woeful opening. No players playing well. Just the one good one who was unexpected (Moloney).

    Round 2 2006 - Slightly better. Played two good quarters. Gameplan was a touch more improved. The two lesser quarters were downright diabolical. 10 goal loss.

    Round 2 2007 - Slightly better. Played two good quarters. Gameplan was a touch more improved. The two lesser quarters were downright diabolical. The only reason it wasn't a 10 goal loss was the Hawks' inaccuracy.

    Round 3 2006 - A game we had no right to even get close to winning. Crows had been pretty good, and we were away. Thanks to some inspirational efforts, among them a shot on goal at the death by one Aaron Davey we nearly got up. The three early losses galvanised the team and we went on a spree for the next 12 weeks losing one match to the eventual premiers.

    Round 3 2007 - ?

    This could be an all time classic Yze_Magicism.

    I should just let it go, but I can't. I need to comment on this.

    As it stands, right now on form, that could be the WORST forwardline ever. EVER!!!!!!

    The two "big names" of the group in Davey and Yze are so badly out of form, they will be lucky to get a game. Newton, if he plays, will be making his debut in senior football. Sylvia has had an interrupted pre season, and while he will probably be picked this week, in his brief senior career for Melbourne, hasn't gone close to even looking like kicking 5 goals in a game. Do I need to comment on PJ? Perhaps a good start for him would be to get his hands above his head to take a mark. Then he can focus on dominating a game of AFL football.

    You left out Miller, who actually had a dip yesterday. But I think 3 goals in a game is the maximum you'll get out of him.

    The only fits that forwardline will produce, is the fits of laughter I had when you suggested it will kick a score big enough to beat the Cats by 45 points.

    I'm not writing Melbourne off for this week, footy is a funny game. But I can't see a 45 point margin, especially if you are relying on the likes of Newton, Sylvia and PJ to kick a winning score.

    since there has been some hindsight in this thread re last year and this years performances, I don't suppose someone could do a similar comparison to the errrrr mood of this board in comparison to the same time last year?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
