Don't forget guys, we've already won a game this year with no Dawes, no Clark, and NO HOGAN.
+ no Fitzy.
-
If we can get Dawes back on the park within the next few weeks, we'll be right.
Then we can be as safe with Clark as possible, and give him enough time for him to be able to play football for years to come.
Mark my words - they will play together in the side, when? I don't know, but they will. -
I've penciled Saints to be rewarded this big brown spoon at the end of the year.
If we lose to them, we're kaputt.- 2

Theres always confidence. But usually it's based on hope of this and hope of that. This year we've at least actually seen some results already.
In previous years we'd be saying Salem and JKH are key parts of the team. This year we hope they can give us some decent games and play a role
Good point, St Kilda are a bit like that this year, getting all hyped up on Jack Billings. I have no doubt he'll be a great player, as like the rest of the top 10 draftees of 2013, but you don't want to get them too hyped up just yet. I could understand us when we were hyping Viney though, if he's anything like his old man (which he is), he'll be good (which he is), he'll only get better too.
It possibly has always been positive and it might seem like that again, but, I'm sure it's not! Does that make you feel better?? Probably not but there is a way of gageing the way the boys feel and this is definitely different. This year will be much different, not just a little!
Too true, I definitely saw a different Melbourne side on Friday night. Yes it was pretty much a practice match blah blah, but we still showed how serious we now are.

I've only been on Demonland for a short period of time, so I'm unaware of past pre-seasons... But a lot of people seem to be so damn hopefully and positive about the players progression, how they're going in intra club matches, etc so forth.
I'm unaware if it's always been pretty positive, or a lot of people see potential and are real hopeful?
It isn't a bad thing by all accounts, I'd just hate to have another crap year.
Go Dees. -
I don't think any of them will get a look in for round one, now that Georgiou has put his hand up and will IMO be promoted from the rookie list. At this stage, my round one team would be:
FB Georgiou Frawley. Pederson
HB. Grimes. McDonald. Dunn
C. Watts. N Jones. Toumpas
HF: Viney. Dawes. Hogan
FF: Howe. Fitzpatrick. JKH
Foll: Gawn. Tyson. Vince
Inter: Trengove Salem Cross
Sub: Bleese
Reserves: Mckenzie. Michie. Bail. Matt Jones. Clisby. Byrnes
Not a bad side. Even better when Clark and Garland are available
Garland should be available for Rnd 1, in saying that I'd send Salem to the reserves (depending how he performs against Cats), but he's just too young to play AFL level week in week out, and how will Georgiou be available? Aidan Riley LTI?
For Salem I'd send Viv right in, I'd send Pederson to the reserves also, M Jones replaces him, I want Clisby to have more game time too, but he's still probably a little young, as is Toump but we all have bigger expectations for him.
On his form the other night I'd love to give Bail another roll of the dice, he really impressed me the other night, he might have taken himself off the hitlist at the end of the year if he keeps that type of form up.
-
And by the end of round 2 he will have racked up 4 games, kicked 20 goals and picked up 15 Brownlow votes.
Would love to see a 3 way playoff between JKH, Jack Viney and Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris, as in Jesse Hogan, right?
-
On form last night, even without key players such as Garland, Watts (??????), Clark, Dawes, Hogan, Viney, etc, I'm confident we'll beat Saints Rnd 1.
-
People say "it's only pre-season, who cares", no one really does, but you can't afford to have a thrashing like that... Especially us, we're in a brittle state still and we can still crumble. I'm not confident that we'll win tomorrow, and that's fine, but I'm expecting at least somewhat of an effort.
-
Interesting no mention of Clark!
There was a mention of Clark in the next sentence that wasn't quoted above, just stating that he's injured.
-
I'm hoping to be there in attendance.

Adelaide - Enjoy watching them play when they are at their best. Dangerfield is a favourite player (outside of MFC) of mine, I prefer him over Gablett, had some real talented players that I loved watching while growing up, ie, Ricciuto, McLeod, etc. Not a team I care overly for, but I don't mind them.
Brisbane - A team that I don't mind, loved watching them in their premiership days.
Carlton - Got a soft spot for them, my mum follows them, tells me all the time how she used to love "sticks"
Collingwood - I actually like Collingwood, going to their games to deal with the ferals is another point.
Essendon - 20/80. My Pa follows them (after being a Dees supporter, wasn't allowed into a function in the early 70's so he went to Bomberland), I absolute hate their supporters. Gee wasn't it such a great feeling giving it to them after we defeated them in 2012, after hearing "Mitch Clark you're a Brisbane reject", so good seeing them leave their seats when the siren went. How's your St Kilda reject in Goddard going you flogs! (nothing against Goddard lol)
Fremantle - Loved them ever since my favourite player (the Wiz) went there
Geelong - Like the team, hate the supporters
Gold Coast - I like these bunch too
GWS - $$$F**k off$$$
Hawthorn - Like the team, hate Puopolo, hate the supporters (especially living with my Dad and his partner and her son who are mad Hawks supporters)
North Melbourne - Don't like them, move over
Port Adelaide - I respect these guys for what they did in a year
Richmond - Like some of the team, hate the flogs in Vickery and Jumping Jack Riewoldt, fans are a bit of fair dinkum [censored] too
St Kilda - hate these dogs, my second most hated team
Sydney - I like the team, the supporter give me the absolute shits
West Coast - I like the Eagles, still don't see the hype in Nic Nat
Western Bulldogs - My most hated team, such a pleasure beating them last year
Jesse Hogan - back injury
in Melbourne Demons

Dees tall duo to miss Saints clash: Mahoney - interesting article.
Just listened to the audio then, and take it with a grain of salt but Mahoney believes we should have our talls back by Round 2-3. Yes, Clark and Dawes to be ready to return in 3-4 weeks. Hmm.
