The posts on this page are going to look hilarious after we smash the Cats

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.

Alright, fair enough, YM has a habit of looking at the glass overflowing when it's half full and bone dry when it's half empty

I think that sums YM up perfectly! This thread certainly made my day though. :lol::wub:

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?

Thanks for the reminder!!

Not sure how I missed out on Miller who was in Carey-like form on Monday

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
