Why do we criticise other teams for tanking yet the same people want us to tank ??? For those that are interested the last team to get a one and two priority pick was St Kilda in 2000. The year is now 2009, That is nine years to get where they are today. Carlton is the other teaam to get a priority pick - one and three. Yet Carlton still has a way to go before being a consistent team - even with three number one draft picks and Chris Judd (taken as a number 3 priority pick). As long as cats like Nick Stevens is there they will not succeed!!! Until we get rid of some ordinary footballers (ie Paul Johnson - great endeavour but just not up to the required standard) we have more pain ahead of us. Having draft picks one and two will not be a guarantee to success - winning guarantees success Look at Essemdon - not a great side and I thought only marginally in front of us at the start of the season. They have played some really good football and i believe part of that reason is because they are winning - success equals confidence equals success equals confidence equals winning and exciting football Finally the champion team of the last 58 games have no number one, two or three draft picks in their team. Lets win and continue to win

after that insipid third qtr - MAKE THAT 14

Let's make that 14 quarters where we have scored less than 9 points in a quarter this year - that is 14 qtrs from a total of 51 qtrs Yet another third quarter that is total insipid Who is our mid field coach Who is our forward coach The only positive is no one can accuse us of tanking!!!!!! This is the angriest I have been about our great team for a long long time

I wish I knew the answer but I don't!!!! What a disgrace thus far - four - yes four scoring shots to half time I am angry I am really angry There are so many I could point the finger at.................. The second half must be our best half of the year. Our game plan must change in the half time break otherwise no one will sponsor and follow the team we love May I cuss?????????????? Am I more frustrated or angry or what at the moment

Out of left field 'solution' for our pathetic third quarters - don't go back into the rooms at half time - coz whatever is being done or said inside the rooms at half time is CLEARLY not working - maybe watching the little leaguers may embarass the team to perform And yes this is a ridiculous 'solution' - and so have our third quarters

Lamenting with a fellow demon punter on Saturday morning about our insipid effort from half time last night, we got to talking about our third quarters. So far we have one third quarter for the year and that was when we out scored Adelaide (in that high scoring game) 9 to 7 - we won the quarter by two points having scored just 3 points in the two previous quarters In the last three matches we have scored a TOTAL of 15 points in third quarter and conceded 109 points. For the year we have scored 164 points in the third quarter and conceded 360 points at a percentage of 45.56. A quarter by quarter points scored analysis is as follows (and hardly surprising considering our ladder position and our the number of games won!!): 1st qtr FOR 210 AGAINST 306 PERCENTAGE 68.6% 2nd qtr FOR 270 AGAINST 352 PERCENTAGE 76.7% 3rd qtr FOR 164 AGAINST 360 PERCENTAGE 45.6% 4th qtr FOR 239 AGAINST 249 PERCENTAGE 96.0% Looking at this basic data, our first and third quarters are insipid - just what is happening pre match and at half time???? Other (useless) data includes: So far this year we have had TWELVE quarters when we have scored less than 10 points in that quarter. Only twice have we kept the opposition to less than 10 points in a quarter. So far this year we have only scored 40 points or more in a quarter twice (Richmond and Port Adelaide) and have conceded 40 points in a quarter eight times. There is still a long way to go - the backline has battled well considering how often the ball has been there. As for the midfield and forward line.......... We have won a total of 14 quarters for the year - three in the first, four in the second, one in the third and six in the last. The above are only some of the key indicators on how a team is performing and they certainly reflect where our ladder position currently is. The most urgent issue is - how can an AFL side score only 15 points in total during the third quarter over the last three weeks?????????????

I saw Motlop's skills on fox last night - the man is an absolute freak - can only hope I get to see again Assume may be on Youtube???? Great team Einstein - having seen the Krakouers play, they would be in my team ahead of Chris Lewis and Shaun Burgoyne. Each to their own. Now where can I slot Les Bamblett - one of fattest blokes to ever play the game - man when he went to Footscray, those red and white stripes look immense Go Dees

I have the Demon ankle tattoo - just need to add the year

A big thanks to Ryan for organising today and to Barry to give his time to talk about out latest draft recruits. Thanks also to the posters for your summaries. My take was we need players who can kick the football with skill and that is the key area that Barry focused on. I will be able to get a copy of the interview but will take me a couple of days. As soon as I have it............. We will get Barry back on radio - around mid season to see how the players are progressing. Go Dees

tune in at 1.40 - Barry will be on tune in at 1.40 - Barry will be on tune in at 1.40 - Barry will be on go dees

Fellow Demons, I am a community radio announcer on 88.3FM (Melbourne) and run a two hour sports program from noon to 2pm each Sunday. I have been endeavouring to get Barry Pendergast on to the program for today to discuss our recruits from yesterday ( I have spoken with our Media Liason manager, Ryan Larkin) - having been trying for five days but unable to get confirmation. The show has had Jimmy Stynes on earlier this year. You can hear the show via the net on www.southernfm.com.au and follow the prompts to hear live. As soon as I can confirm that Barry will be on, I will do so - was hoping to confirm prior to now. What I can confirm is Chris Pelchem, Hawthorns recruitment manager will be on the show between 1 and 1.30. He will discuss the draft together with an emphasis on Hawthorn's recuits and Melbourne's recruits. Would have preferred to have Barry's take but Chris will be better than nothing Cheers Mordiboy

Was thinking about Cousins issue and seriously believe we should go for him. Who really cares if he was on the Uncle Dougs? It is alright to talk about youth policy but you also require experience. He already has the experience to reach the top as shown with a grand final win with the Weagles only a couple of years ago and he is a brownlow medallist to boot. He will be able to show our youngsters how to train, how to prepare and more importantly how to win. It is extremely easy to knock a person when he is down - it is harder to get behind them and support them. Ben will not muck up - he wants to prove to the football world he is still a champion and he is only 30 years of age. FFS there were a [censored] load of members who thought Neita was a champion even after the game had passed him. Think of the publicity he will bring to the club - the press when he first trains and first plays will be enormous. This is a fantastic opportunity for the Melbourne Football club to get publicity - as Barnum the Circus man said - there is no such thing as bad publicity. And don't we need publicity at the minute. Sponsors will not drop off - if Cousins is 'sold' correctly, companies will jump on board - just look at what J$dd has done at Carltank. I am all for getting Cousins and believe the positives will far outweigh any negatives - and lets be serious, there will not be any other brownlow medallists/grand final winning players out there in the market. Go Benny and Go Dees for 2009
