I've always rated Hodgey's analysis  not to mention his mellifluous speaking voice and command of the English language.

He must have missed the McVee news if he's saying the defence is all healthy and stable. Big loss

 

Around 80% of Demonlanders typically love every commentator who is positive towards the team & want to lynch anyone critical of the team.

That's better cranky.

Plus, Hodgey is one of the few commentators who gives it back to BT's BS antics and calls, deserves respect in itself 😁

Cranky must hate this positive talk! Like a vampire when they are touched by sunlight…

I won’t listen to any media talk, positive or negative, because that’s all it is, talk by people justifying their jobs. 

As the saying goes, it’s never as good or as bad as it seems!

Considering what has taken place over the last 6 months i will be very disappointed if we don’t make September 

We should be aiming for Top 4

Objective is my middle name.

But seriously - you can't argue that most posters start foaming at the mouth whenever the Dees get criticised yet praise the $h!t out of any journalist that writes us in a positive light.

I agree. 

Its the time of the year where all the obnoxious predictions are put to the airwaves. Many have us bouncing back into the top 8 but one i tend to keep my eye is coaches under the pressure valve. Goody along with Voss and Longmuire and Nicks are the consistent theme here. I do think Goody is undeserving of the attention for just one bad season, but the style and manner in which we imploded as a club, its easy to understand why. His deal ends at 2026. At what point do you start to think his job comes under the spotlight? 

Our first 6 rounds are: GWS @G; Norf @ Marvel; Sun @G; Cats @KP; Bombers @ Adelaide; Freo @G. I cant see us running the table, but i can see anything from 5-1 to 2-4 ledger after the first 6. I think pressure mounts at anything worse than 3-3.

Our next 6 is easier with a 5-1 to 3-3 range. Which brings us to a 10-2 : 5-7 mid-season tally. Things would have be get diabolical to be worse than 5-7, but i think, equally, a lot would have to go right to get near a 10-2 position after the first 12 rounds.  Goody would want a positive win/loss after 12 to have any chance of finals. Its really hard to have any certainty on this given the evenness of the competition we face in the first 12 rounds and just how bad our last 12-18 months has been. I do hop we have settled and turned the corner and are back competing, but there is a slither of MFCSS I have that we may not respond to last years cluster as we all hope.

Not me, I'm actually hoping to go through the whole season not consuming any AFL media and watching games on mute.

That is known as the Binman Method and is not for the faint-hearted.

That sound proof room at home must do wonders blocking out the outside world 😉

 

I’m thinking that we end up 3-6 th depending on injuries and how we adapt to the revised game plan and how The Duke, Tholstrup, Disco, Jeffo, Langford and the Spreadsheet can step up. We now bat pretty deep, can’t wait for the real stuff.👍😁

So, that means 80% of us want to lynch some cranky guy!

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
