Too true. Getting rid of Junior and discouraging Bruce were very bad, fundamental errors by Dean. We were never going to overcome the loss of 500plus games playing experience in one season. I predicted zero improvement this year because of our lack of experience and youth. I think I may still be close in my prediction as we had a much easier draw this year. Dean tried hard and it is sad he had to go like this but he just didn't have what it takes to be a really successful coach. Thanks Dean for your efforts over the four years at the club.

You can't be labelled the second worst team in history on one shocking performance. A huge collection of wooden spoons perhaps but not just one pathetic performance.Yes, we were lamentable but we are far superior to the teams below on the ladder this year. ( Western Bulldogs the possible exception.) Let's face it, Geelong were simply superb and everything went their way all day, one arm marks, jag shots for goal, bounce of the ball etc, etc. No team, even Collingwood could not have lived with them yesterday. Gee, Eddie your team are fortunate that they never have to play the cats at Skilled stadium.

And Ron wasn't really Norm's son was he?

The margin was huge but as we know, confidence is a huge factor and the Cats were oozing with it. How about their regular one-handed marks, jag shots for goal etc, etc? We fumbled and played without any confidence at all. Hence the big difference in the scores.

6. McKenzie 5. Watts 4. Trengove and that's about it.

Another true blue supporter. Just like the Tiger 'supporters'. See you later alligator!

Off you go then!

Don't be so verbose Jaded! Be more direct!

No doubt the James McDonald bit had a lot to do with the Bruce departure. Brad has not shown the same fierceness he displayed last season. Not fully happy with MFC admin?

6. Martin 5. Howe 4. Jones 3. Green 2. Bate 1. McKenzie.

I admire your optimism but I won't change my footy tips on your whim. If your prediction was true you can have a big laugh on those who didn't have the same faith as you. I certainly would be laughing in pure joy!

If only Ricky had held that mark in the goalsquare with only seconds remaining OR Bail had gone for the goal. So close to a thrill of the season. Oh well.......

Yes, that Geelong game plus the 1994 and 2000 finals wins over Carlton. My Carlton barracking neighbour was almost in tears after the 2000 Demon comeback.

Thanks Tony.

A question. With a paltry crowd of 7,500( the lowest crowd so far) how can this guarantee a good income?

6. Martin 5. Petterd 4. Frawley 3. Sylvia 2. Moloney 1. Maric

Watts, Martin, Howe and McKenzie for me.

I must say I was disappointed for young Blease. Getting dropped after playing less than half a game and doing some good things seems rather ruthless. Surely, he could have been given one full game to display his obvious talents. Hopefully, he will have another go soon.

I read that too. However, like you I don't remember the poster. Person in question, be brave come forward and disclose yourself!

The worry is that Bailey said he was certain Wonna would be back. Remember, earlier in the year he thought Cameron Bruce would be back too? Does this mean bye,bye Wonna?

Too late! Gubby Allen died in 1989

You sure make a lot of sense in your posts 'Artie'. It is very easy to try too hard to honour the passing of a Demon great. This led to much fumbling, getting in each others way etc.

Very good analogy. Too many grey ares in our rules.

Bit like the judge saying ' As you missed him with your attempted shooting, you are free to go". I was a bit worried for Jack as I thought this tackle was much more vigorous than the Dangerfield one. Good on you Jack it's about time your luck changed. You are a real asset to the club and you will be a leader in the very near future.

I truly wish I could disagree with you 'Dappa Dan' but I can't see much joy for us in the remainder of the year. Let's hope we are both VERY WRONG!
