The teams we're playing have been training just as hard over the off-season. Someone has to lose, and considering the injuries we've had during games (let alone in terms of limiting our selection) it's not that all surprising.

Injuries are a reality of football. Each year the Football Gods smile on some and rain on others. It's the effort the 22 players put in during the game, and the plan that the coach works out that count. In our case, very few players do gutbusting running, play never give up football, put in 2nd & 3rd efforts, etc. As for The Reverend of the Church of Mediocrity - PLAN is just another of those terrible four letter words. :unsure:

Well, i suppose it was out turn. Sadly it came on a year we were a chance to win the flag. Fingers crossed that we draft well and fly up the ladder in 2008.

the cats and saints have had seaosn like our seaosn this year. they topped up with some good kids and now look to be on track again.

we need to do the same in the offseason, cut some fat, free up some cap room and find the best players (and coach) to take us deep into september in 08.

McLean, Neitz, Robbo, Bartram, Sylvia and our first draft pick Frawley. Thats more than a quarter of your 1st XVIII. I'm pretty sure neither the coaching or the game plan are responsible for them getting injured. No one is happy with the current situation - but the prime mission statement of supporters is to support. Sure we can all have our opinons about what is happening and maybe what needs to change, but at the end of the day we all go to the games to support the team we love.

Purely and simply we struggle to compete against interstate clubs because they have far more money to throw at resourcing their team than we do. This weekend we play the Dockers who have won exactly as many games as we have... many picked them to win the premiership, yet they have only really lost players to suspension, not injury. We have lost our forward line and midfield drive.

brentnall, that was a tough read. Don't suppose your keyboard has a comma or a full-stop on it by any chance?

Looks around blankly

Is it round 16 already? Gee the season has flown past. What did I miss?

Talk about FICKLE. Since when is our season OVER....and since when have both the cats and the saints turned anything around.

We've only played three games Einstein. Save us your febble unimaginative remedy's at least until we CAN'T make the finals please. ;)

This time last year the cats were premiership favourites and their fans were waving their hand bags like crazy; that is until they met a lowly Hawthorn at home and....well you should know the rest. :huh:

There is still plenty of time for you and your negative supporter mates to formulate a skillful backflips I mean the team to turn around their form slump and starts to show its true colours. And believe me

I can't wait.

Especially to hear how you and your negative mates preach to us all how you are the best supporters, and how you had complete faith, and how you knew a new game plan would take a few extra rounds to 'bed in' before the team really clicked, and how injuries were going to see players played out of their most damaging positions etc. etc. :lol:

In case you forgot Premierships are NOT won in April.

Try keeping the Faith.

Go Dees

You're the gutless wonder Yze Not So Magic. The worst supporter/troll on this site I've ever come across. If you have a bi-polar disorder I apologise and can understand the erraticism of your posts (to an extent). Regardless, keep taking the medicine and level out. Your hysterical reactions are becoming very boring.

He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.
