Wow is it planet alignment?Have pieces finally fallen into place? Sheedys available ,what ?Melbourne needs a coach ,but even more we need a heartbeat.Fidel Castro will be around longer than us if we dont do something to resuscitate this club.

I no longer support this club.I dont turn up to games or buy a membership.Why should i?This club has given nothing to supporters.It is a continuous heap of mess on and off the field and i am way to young to be still inspired by the efforts of norm smith and barassi.I am no longer a diehard supporter and those who berate me for jumping off only need look at the seats next to them to understand i am now in the majority.Berate me but the club needs to win supporters like me back.Its reality

This club needs Sheedy.Without getting complex he has made a competitve team at essendon without a list.It is a far inferior list than ours.HE STILL HAS FORM.

He will lift immediately lift the spirits of players and supporters by mere presence.When barassi came back to our club we did not have a team.Parallels cannot be drawn.

If we get Sheedy ill be there round 1 next year.so will many others on the edge.Lets see if our list can build with support and direction.lets take a punt and jump from the mire

    well Pequot.. youre a brave one to voice that. Yes you will be berated. dont sweat it. Its a big world with room for more than one view point. Many will rehash the ol...do not ask what your club has done for you, ask what you have done for your club line . Ive never subscribed to it personally. Not these days..its business and they are competing for my money, time as well as loyalties. well the loyalty isnt up for grabs.. but he other two are.

    Having said that some of what you propse does have merit. I reckon you wouldnt be the only one to returnfromthe woodwork should someone of Sheeds ilk take the reigns. Many people want to invest their energies into somethign that will return them enjoyment. A decently chosen , prepared and instilled Melbourne team would do that. win or lose they would be competitive. Thats sufficient for the most part.

    Though many question his sanity...no one can argue he doesnt know what he's doing. Quite frankly ...grabbing Sheeds is hardly a punt.. bit like backing the favourite in a two horse race.. you could stil lose.. but the odds are in your favour!! and that my friends is something we havent had for a very long while....43 years I'd suggest!! :-)

    i couldnt care if sheedy is only with us for 1 year, as long as that year brings us a premiership. but in all honesty, why do we need a 10 year coach? a few good years will do me, then let someone else take over while we have his winning culture in place...

    Well if we get sheedy next year and you come back i hope I'm not sitting next to you.

    I am someone who believes the members of the club are its heart beat and hate people who only come along to games when everything is going well and drop off when things aren't, It's such a shame we need more members to survive and you say "Lets see if our list can build with support and direction.lets take a punt and jump from the mire"

    Well if our list needs support why are you not supporting us now?

    ON the demon bandwagon got it right.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
