    We're a great chance to win it this year

    We were stitched by the draw last season (and every season for that matter). We deserve a favorable run this year. We were better than Adelaide but they got the soft draw, we got a very tough draw and the Crows home advantage did the rest. We were just running on empty. Still get annoyed thinking about that PF loss.

    I'm glad Todd Patterson gets a mention. His drafting has been Jason Tayloresque. Hanks, McNamara, Bannon will be great players for us for years to come.

    2019 took the cake in terms of us being stitched up. 4th in our conference, so no finals, but more wins (and better % from memory) than 1st in the other conference, who went on to get pummeled in the GF. Ridiculous. But we've had our chances other years and lost crucial games when one loss meant season over. Not so cut-throat now with the longer season, which means more time for momentum to be lost and gained, and an actual finals structure.

    Still, we've been there abouts every year, which isn't something to be sneezed at, and hopefully sets a good tone for the long term. Other clubs (externally at least) seem to have a much shakier foundation.

    • 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 The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
