I want to start enjoying this thread again.

Freo’s start to the season was a false economy.

They’re a top 8 side that was masquerading as a bottom 4 side.

I can see them replacing Adelaide in the top 8 come seasons end.

    They're really not either...

    Their start was a false economy as is their current form.

    They've beaten bottom or banged up teams.

    They sit somewhere around 9 to 12...anything lower is a bonus for us.

    I suggest we kill 2 birds with the one stone this weekend.

    improve our top 4 chances and improve our chances of a high draft pick.

    Just win this game Dees

    Shouldnt throw rocks in glass houses. Forget about the silly draft picks, we have a season to play out.

    Could be death riding demons if they screw up over the next 4 weeks.  No guarantee we'll even make the 8 .

    We'll know soon enough. We have very few injuries far less than other clubs. Even Port had three key players out .

    Port were missing talls on a wet night. They were probably better without them...so I disagree re "key" We were down Sparrow and Petty...perhaps Brown ( unsure of his status now) We also has Oliver injured in the game and Pertracca at half rat power for the whole game. Plus Fritta on altered training now for months. So...we've def had our fair share of injuries and suspensions in 23. Come Sat we'll be down Oliver and Hunter and unsure of what Trac can do. these are pretty big outs.

    I got an idea. Take a shovel and start shovelling soil over this thread.

    You are wasting your energy.

    We can only blame Goodwins lack of control of a list that should be fighting for top 2 week in and week out. We are our worst enemy.

    Close the stupid thread. 

    They were a 15 win season last year that were 20 points off a prelim.

    As if they were ever going to finish in the bottom 6 this year.

    And credit to Luke Jackson for defeating the much ‘vaunted’ Gawn/Grundy on his own.

    Currently picks 15 (2022), 12 and 30 for Jackson after he beat Gawn and Grundy today.

    Peter Bell would be very pleased with himself

    Adelaide win tomorrow and it's back to thank you Peter Bell for a top 10 pick. 🤣

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
