-Is everybody over this season?

Nah, never over footy, still will enjoy watching us (As long as we don't serve up crap football)

-Does anybody care if we lose this Sunday?

Yes, can't stand losing, even at times like this and ESPECIALLY to Carlton

-Do people actually want us to lose to get the best draft picks possible?

No, because we're going to get a top 4 pick anyway and we have a decent group of young kids already, we just have to clean out the deadwood

-Will you be upset if we lose?

Yes I am upset every time we lose

-Are you going?

No unfortunately personal commitments

-Crowd?

    -Is everybody over this season?

    Over the poor performances, but not the season.....still want to watch us play, and hopefully win a few games.

    -Does anybody care if we lose this Sunday?

    Yes - never want to see us lose......successful clubs don't embrace losing cultures.......if supporters think this, then what are the players going to think. If members don't demand success, then who will?

    -Do people actually want us to lose to get the best draft picks possible?

    No........if we lose because we aren't good enough, then the silver lining is better draft picks, but we should never embrace losing!

    -Will you be upset if we lose?

    Hell yes! Upset as well that the young kids come in experiencing defeat....they need to learn how to win!

    -Are you going?

    For sure!

    -Crowd?

    40,000

    This is the most excited I have been all season

    Today is the start of a new era

    Will Sylvia finally explode and put together a scintillating 4 quarter effort?

    What will Juice produce as the primary forward target?

    Frawley, Petterd,Bate, Jones,... exciting!!!

    -Is everybody over this season?

    I am not over it I am disappointed in it with everything that has happened

    -Does anybody care if we lose this Sunday?

    I dont like to lose but I will be a tad annoyed if they manage to win when they couldnt string a win together last week under the circumstances but I like to see them win & it would do the world of good for team morale to win

    -Do people actually want us to lose to get the best draft picks possible?

    No, we have enough young exciting players I dont think an extra couple would make us any better than we currently are. Plus I dont believe in playing for draft picks its so wrong

    -Will you be upset if we lose?

    Of course, I dont like the losing to Carlton trend they arent even a good team and if we cant beat them without Fev we wont win another game all year

    -Are you going?

    I want to but I am sick & sitting in the cold wont do me any good & I have a massive week at work this week

    -Crowd?

    Looking at the weather today I would say 27,000, will be a poor crowd

    Not over the season, just viewing it in a different manner than 10 weeks ago. Now just optimistic about the future rather than frustrated with everything.

    I care if we lose this week. Carlton without Fevola and Whitnall in a team with even less depth than ours? Bugger the prophecising about whether Carlton will win one more game or not. We should always care - good teams always do.

    The concept of tanking is disgraceful and counterproductive. I have no doubt that Brisbane's young players will gain a lot more from their win last night than the club would have achieved by playing for the rest of the season to finish below Carlton or us for the sake of a couple of draft places. There is a difference between selecting a team to lose and planning for next year by giving injured players a rest and surgery they need. I never want us to lose but some losses hurt less than others - when I can see evidence of effort on the part of the players and a plan on the part of the coaches.

    I'll be disappointed if we lose but I won't be upset like the Richmond game. Unless we put in an effort equivalent to that night as well...

    Won't be going as I have personal commitments today. Will watch it on tv though.

    Awful day but Carlton still have a big supporter base - 38,743

    I hope our young dynamos turn it on and we win by 10 goals

    -Is everybody over this season?

    Yes, but I'm looking forward to seeing Newton, Buckley, Petterd, Frawley etc. develop this year for a crack next year

    -Does anybody care if we lose this Sunday?

    Of course, they're the Blues (still fuming from last year)

    -Do people actually want us to lose to get the best draft picks possible?

    No- even though some good young players would be nice I want us to finish above Carlton on the ladder, which means more than 4 wins

    -Will you be upset if we lose?

    Yes, see above

    -Are you going?

    Yes

    -Crowd?

    25,000 if bad weather, 30,000 if good

    Good signs from Newton, Buckley and Dunn today. It makes me think whether Daniher was being way too tight in not giving Newton a fair go earlier though...he might have had a job if he'd been given the chances that Miller has had.

    If you listen to the mob here they said he wasn't being played because he wasn't 'mentally right', and there was a 'long term' plan - what a crock of [censored]. Another wasted year playing the same tired old players, and it took our coach to leave for it to change.

    I thought Newton did what he was expected to do as a leading forward.......lead hard, took a few grabs, and kicked a few goals.

    Still has a fair bit of work to do IMO.........but looks promising!

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
