MELBOURNE is still focused on winning games of football, according to coach Dean Bailey.
The bottom-placed Demons face Richmond at Telstra Dome on Sunday and Bailey said the club was focused on remaining competitive and playing four quarters of consistent football.
"We've all got expectations - we believe we will go out on Sunday and expect to be competitive.
"We still think and we still believe that we can win the game. You've still got to have that focus.
"Our members and supporters are going to the game with the same expectations that we have so we're all in it together.
"We've got deliver and we've got to be competitive longer than what we have been," he said.
Despite wanting to be competitive, Bailey said it was also important to give younger players an opportunity to develop.
"Our emphasis will always be to win games but I think we need to persist with some of our young guys. An extra game or two will give them a chance to develop and play at AFL level."
