I agree, I'm bored of being negative about my beloved football team when we are actually on the improve! Had plenty of time for that from 2007-2012. I don't get the mentality that seems to almost take delight that we might stuff it up, miss finals again etc

is that allowed? Feels like you have to be a sad sack to post here...I reckon half the posters here were less miserable in 2012!

We must be the worst top 4 team with a percentage of 130 after 20 rounds in history then!

We've won 4 out of our last 5 and lost the other by a kick after the siren to a team that almost never loses at home....form is pretty good

I think we can definitely win at least 2/3 none of our opponents are without their own issues: Sydney - in average form, not kicking many goals, Buddy or bust West Coast - No NicNat/Gaff and Kennedy or an underdone Kennedy....we have a better midfield than them with their outs GWS - injuries and they don't have a good record at the MCG

Most relaxing day at the footy ever, we had it won after 10 minutes

....we’re never going to agree so no point arguing

Plenty of players manage issues, Riewoldt and McLeod had completely “stuffed” knees and played many many top games....let’s not write Jack off yet, pretty sad atttude to just assume the worst at the first sign of trouble

Yeah, why are we caring if other supporters think this will be an easy win or not? What I write on this forum isn’t going to impact on the result! Dees by 150

Not good but doesn't sound career threatening yet, if it was the media vultures (Barrett, McClure etc) would be all over it....that said i wouldn't rush him back this year

Why so negative about his prospects?

Exactly, why are some supporters retiring him off because of a sore toe? Alex Johnson had 5 knee recos and didnt retire!

And in my opinion once he gets his foot right he'll be fine

I thought Buddy heroics aside Sydney were still pretty bad, their midfield is ordinary at the moment

Not even joking, Casey would have a good chance of beating that named Suns line up

Gold Coast are taking the p*** with Swallow out drop Jarrad Lyons their only other inside mid Thats a NEAFL side, us by a lot

No May or Thompson for them that’s just about the weakest backline I’ve seen, Tmac and Hoges should run wild

Well done to AvB for making it back, will enjoy watching him crack in

Yep, if you don't really want it as a professional sportsman it's unlikely to happen anyway. Best of luck to Harley for whatever he does next.

Are they? They lost to Gold Coast and their last few weeks have been pretty ordinary, Buddy is playing injured and is well below his best, maybe they are on the slide. Melk is important and every good player out hurts of course but we do have others who deliver the ball well inside F50 - Fritsch, Oliver, Salem to name 3.

I hope Melk's "minor" hamstring isn't a 4 weeker....

Kent a chance?

Those are crazy odds, but that said I think we'll smash them, they've barely got a senior player left in the team. Would be the worst of all our epic chokes if we manage to screw this one up!

Melbourne $1.02 Gold Coast $15.00 have we ever been this short in history!?

Every eligible Demon must be there! Our best shot at finals (well since last year) on the line, hope for over 35,000
