RAYS OF HOPE

Let's go back to 2000. In round 13 Carlton flogged us by 98 points. The following week we bounced back to thrash Collingwood by 65 points. We went on to even beat the Eagles by 70 points at SUBIACO in the last round of the season. In our finals encounter with Carlton we got up to win by 9 points. Not a bad turnaround. (About 118 points). Footy has always been a week to week prospect. Let's not get too bogged down in our gloom.

    Ah, optimism... that emotion just doesn't feel quite right at the moment :unsure:

    At least in 2000 Carlton were absoloutely flying when we played them midyear, The Hawks were depleted yesterday through suspensions and played a man down the entire game after losing Croad... :angry:

    Like The Demons heirachy BM you are in DENIAL

    Time to face facts, right @ the minute we are NO GOOD.

    Play the kids, turn the list over & pray the quality we require is around @ draft time.

    Like the Hawks & Saints model, who where hell bent on recreating Dunstall & Bererton we must draft

    the next Buddy Franklin & Roughhead or Riewaldt & Kosi combo avialiable

    We have midfielders comming out of our ears lets get the much talked about spine happenning.

    or go back a season and a half and take a look at the pies beat geelong by 100+. last year's granny; port are a damn good footy side. 100 point losses are hard to take, but like it or not we do have excuses, and they should be resolved within 3 weeks or so.

    Bobby, whilst i am usually an optimist, It's hard to be when they can not even hit a target 20 meters away.

    We have no foot skills and a lot of players who do not know where to run to, we always went to the boundary, the hawks always hit the centre.

    We still take forever to kick in from a point, we still over crowd our forward line and our manning up is still non existent.

    Once we figure out these things I'll believe we won't finish last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
