I’m bored, away for work and there is nothing but the Queens funeral on the ****ty hotel TV.

There a few things that keep coming to mind about things we can bank on for next year. Be creative, semi serious or whatever tickles your fancy. I’ll get the ball rolling:

1. We will get an even shorter break after the bye round.

2. Every double game we play will be against top 6 sides (inc the 2 outside the 8, which will have Collingwoodesque improvements in form, whilst Geelong will have an even easier draw.

3. One positive - we will finally win the free kick count against Footscray.

    1. We will be fitter. We won't suffer so many injuries to key players, touch wood*

    2. We will tinker with our method, I refuse to believe our coaches won't change things. They know our stars are in the window for 4 years and won't take any year for granted from now on.

    3. We will blood youth

    Tbh, at some point, the board will look at the coaching staff and expect innovation

    I reckon our recruitment of Grundy all but confirms that we do plan to do this, but do it far more often from clearances and stoppages than currently we did with LJ. And therefore make up the 2-3 goal margin we are behind all top 4 teams this year :laugh: Improve goal kicking accuracy and add in a few key forwards and hopefully that adds the 5+ goals that puts us ahead of the pack. The old carpet bombing method.

    Hoping for a little more tweaking/innovation/positional changes and yes lowering the eyes more!... Or it will probably come back to bite.. again.

    all summer there will be the usual suspects on Demonland bemoaning the fact that we draft incompetently, our coaching team is stubborn and wont tweak our game plan, our medical and conditioning team is second rate since Burgess went to Adelaide, Kosi is going to Port next year, and our premiership window has already closed.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
