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: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
