2009 - less than 30% chance to make finals. Finish 10th

Early wins will have us up and about before young players tire and a few injuries sees us searching for a bit of depth.

Ignore the position, its irrelevant, we will see massive growth in the young blokes next year.

look to 2010 to play finals seriously.

    all those people that put 50-50 chance are kidding themselves...i expect us to maybe just sneak in 2010...hopefully contenders for 2012

    I voted 30%. A small chance of making the 8.

    And to say that we will struggle even more without experienced players is a cop out.

    With the youth that are playing now, it is proof that we are more competitive without the senior players.

    Great point, totally agree..

    Kids putting up a much better fight, cus they have 2, youth youth youth..

    Go Bails!

    I think about 40% with a GOOD injury run!

    Hope im wrong in the right way :wacko:

    in all honesty azzkika, if we made the finals you wouldnt no what to do with yourself....how many years have you been a mfc supporter? did you ever see your team play finals? they only played 3 finals in my lifetime, (and they were all in the same year!)

    Its all above the shoulders and it has to do with attitude and coaching strategies.

    Skill,commitment and fitness of the players would help as well.

    I would've thought at the very least "above the shoulders" relates to skill and commitment......

    Yes fitness of course is a pre-requisite for AFL football.

    I wouldn't say skill is 'above the shoulders'. While confidence etc can come into it, the 'above the shoulders' stuff is really just a moderator of your skill level.

    You just said he was a MFC supporter, and thus his team is now the Dees!

    how many years have you been a mfc supporter? did you ever see your team play finals?
    I get your point though :P

    i should have said 'your old team' to make it clearer ;)

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
