His daughter is the partner of one of our players. The world is small indeed!

Nice prizemoney!  

And in all reality, nearly all of us are on the same page with regards to where we hope we'll finish in any given season.  We all want success

Those who are optimistic are aware that things can go pear-shaped and we can lose ground.  There's always a chance of that happening

And those who are less optimistic are hoping that we can perform better anyway. Being pleasantly surprised being the reward

I wonder how many of us genuinely believed that we'd win the flag in 2021?  I know I didn't

Did we have a prediction poll?  

Anyway, at a guess, I reckon it would have been less than 5%

    What was the point in this thread?

    When all is seemingly against you, don't let it bother you and counter attack

    We get written off because we fell away this year but our midfield was decimated 

    In 2023 our forward line was also decimated to D Grade standard but apparently we 'failed'

    In life and in sport there are excuses and there are reasons

    A club like ours isn't allowed to display reasons as they are seen as excuses

    A few scattered injuries here and there would definitely be an excuse ... but in the last 2 seasons, we've had 2 whole areas of the ground decimated by injuries

    So we get the list fit and recruit well and we'll be back in business again

    In other words, we fight back and win

    Well I answered your inane question so are you satisfied or is fighting back from adversity something foreign to you?

    We are all faced with adversity on a daily basis.  At work, when playing sport etc etc

    Not everything goes smoothly and without fight back qualities, you'll fail

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
