Well into the last quarter and the Eagles are up by 16 points!

Eagles won by 10 points!!

If they beat us next week, they will lose pick 18, so now I have to barrack against us. Yes, the system is working perfectly Demetriou when you want your team to lose.

    The Eagles maybe thinking that winning is more important than a draft pick and also if Kerr does want out they would get a top 10 pick plus second round or player.

    Eagles were a good bet. They mostly - give or take the odd shocker - play reasonable footy in Perth, while Essendon have been shoddy tourists.

    Essendon only beat us because of 8 goals from Lloyd. They ain't much good. Look at their so-called good form since they broke their run of 8 losses against WC in round 12 and ask yourself this: "Who have they beaten?"

    As for WC tanking.

    Well, I would assume the Toast can't split the first half dozen players in the draft, so they aren't too fussed whether they finish 14th, 15th or 16th from a draft standpoint. And they don't want to win what would be their first ever wooden spoon. And they hate Essendon.

    Indeed - it's disappointing.

    I remember that, as a kid, I wanted us to win every game possible, regardless of whether we were in the top four or bottom four.

    How things change :P

    It wont matter guys, on form we'll be soundly beaten anyway. On Numbers we'll be done by around 26 points.

    Nothing to fear. PJ's gone and after 100+ point floggings - more changes will be made.

    I was really hoping for a West Coast Wooden Spoon, there's still a good chance though, I hope so at least. :)

    Damn..I haven't looked at the ladder well the bottom part at least.

    You may get Aaron Cornelius from my local club...I would not be all disappointed if he was a Demon, people are saying the Swans would get him but a good Glenorchy kid like that deserves a better side.

    I don't think so. Given our percentage difference, we'd probably have to win our last three games (versus WCE and Richmond at the 'G, and Port at AAMI), while WCE would have to lose every game.

    edit: didn't see your above post when I hit reply.

    West Coast play Hawthorn and Geelong in their final 2 matches, so they'll only win one more at best.

    He's a tall forward, skinny bugger.

    If I knew how to record from the footage I have of him I'd post it, but he was playing as a Full Forward for Tassie this year in the NAB Under 18 Carnival.

    I watched him through a lot of the U18 carnival - he's smart but green. If my memory serves me, he takes a good grab and has some goal sense.

    Not that it is of a concern for now, but if Melbourne win two of the remaining three games, and West Coast lose all three, there is quite a reasonable chance that they can still finish bottom West Coast, on percentage. Then Melbourne and West Coast would both be locked on 16 points each at the end of the home and Away season.

    Of course Melbourne would have to beat WestCoast this week, which it could, then win one of their last two games against either Port Adelaide at AAMI or Richmond at the G. With only 6.2% separating the teams the maths does add up. Especially as West Coast has Geelong and Hawthorn to play.

    We will win this week.

    WCE have done their maths and played their grand final yesterday.

    Their last two games are against Hawks and Cats so expect many changes for the WCE this week and for them to put in an absolute shocker.

    So, I can bet on the Dees at $1.85 this week and sit back and relax Jacey? B)

    reckon any team has ever been $1.85 for the win, the week after getting smashed by 116 points?

    There's ~200 points difference, so they'd have to have huge losses.

    ...and this is if we win as many games in the next three weeks as we've done in the previous 19.

    Never. :lol:

    Well West Coast have got Hawthorn and Geelong to go..............that point difference could well and truly turn around very quickly.

    Quite right about us winning, I can't for the life of me see us beating Port at AAMI. For that matter Richmond in Rd22, but I was making a point, quite rightly, that the maths can add up with these results that I have stated.

    Has a team ever had an average winning margin of 3.5 points or lower at the end of a season?

    Not hard for a lowly team to suffer defeats by an aggregate of 200 points against the likes of Geelong and Hawthorn. It's not over yet!

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
