Laidley, the Kangaroos and Melbourne

Interesting to read that the mfc sounded out Dean Laidley earlier this year about the coaching job and that he's not interested in talking now or after the season (when it's going to be too late). Seems he wants to caoch only the Roos and good luck to him.

However, on looking at how he's been going this year, it's amazing how much his team's season has tracked that of the mfc in 2006.

We lost the first three games last year and so did the Kangaroos this year.

We then won 12 out of the next 14 to make the top 4 after Round 17 (one of the losses to WCE at Subi) in 2006 and so did the Kangaroos this year.

Both sides lost in Round 18 of the respective seasons.

We went on to win only one more h/a game and one final and then collapsed in a heap.

Hope that doesn't happen to Laidley but it shows what a fickle game AFL is.

    i agree.

    i also think that the fact that the kangas are playing above themselves and are overachieving considering the players they have at their disposal is also similar to melbourne.

    i wouldnt be surprised to see them lose to WCE this week and start a slow movement down the ladder. not premiership contenders

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG after a dismal performance in Gather Round to face the reigning dual Premiers Brisbane. What do expect to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.

      The Demons return to Melbourne and the hallowed turf of the MCG where they face dual reigning Premiers Brisbane on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.

      From knocking off a Premiership contender to getting embarrassed by the winless Bombers who were on a 17 game losing streak .... Welcome Back MFCSS.
