is it becouse neitz or just hope that we have to win one soon.

2 weeks ago l thought that we would not win a game till round 9 againts the roos.

after tonights game the roos dont look like the easy beat team of 2 weeks ago.

lets just look at the next few games

PORT

BULLDOGS

EAGLES

ROOS

CROWS

COLLINGWOOD

wear do you think we can win our first game and who is the weakest team among these teams.

this will take us to the half way point .

why do l ask becouse something inside me thinks we could still make a big dent this year.

and blood the rest of our young and get ready for one BIG 2008

    collingwood looms as our best chance (if we lose today) simply because we should have robbo, wheels, chooka back

    but then again i wuldnt be surprised to see us beat west coast and then go 1-12 or something like that after it :P

    Hopefully we will win at least one of those games.

    Our problem is that it will take the players with the longer term injuries longer to get form and fitness. Then the team has to 'gel' together and recapture that winning feeling.

    If we are zip 9 or 1 8 then i would say the club would definetly start planning for 2008. Play the kids and just let the coaching panel coach as best it can and maybe try a few things that you would not do if vying for a spot in the 8.

    We'll win today.

    I went to Hawthorn vs Essendon yesterday (god we could do with a Buddy Franklin, he was on fire) and was mulling at the train station in my Dees jacket surrounded by Bombers when i decided to get out of the rain and buy a packet of chips, and lo and behold, there was a little toy card in it.

    Ronald Dee-Man.

    It's a sign.

    Chooks, a classy big man is exactly what we need. With this devastating run a injuries we may get a draft pick which will enable us to get a big player who can replace Neitz or White down the track.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
