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: 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.
