Its the big question that everyones talking about. Lets talk about it in a more meaningfull way rather than asking weather you want to or not. Because i hate talking about how i want us to win no more than 4.

Tomorrow is such a big day in so many ways.

Agree, the period between now and round 15 are our biggest days of the draw. We can't afford to win many games for our future, cause in the last 7 weeks we have games against North Melbourne, Richmond and Fremantle we are capable of winning. If we don't win any games over the next 9 weeks then we're safe but if we win one or two we'll have some interesting games come later in the year.

I cannot see us winning for some weeks yet based on form. A 1-11 result after 12 rounds is very much on the cards.

As long as the losses are real losses then I don't care. If we throw games then I will be deeply unhappy with the club. No player is worth selling our soul for.

1. I do, but if we continue to play with the endeavour and spirit that we have shown for most of this year, and our kids continue to improve, then the losses won't be so hard to handle.

2. Totally agree, but it won't happen!

I want us to win win win, but in reality we just need to show commitment and improvement. I hate to say it but get the priority picks, suffer the pain now and reap the rewards for years and years to come as a power house.

with our 3 best defenders out we will struggle for a while now. Our back line has been a rock and unfortunately yesterday it was craked. On the up we should see a few others now get a chance. Is Mcnamara ready for Snr football?

Probably won't get a better opportunity for a debut, than right now. He's worth having a look at now over the next several weeks.

The next game that I would say we would be, from an objective viewpoint, a realistic chance would be against West Coast at the G in Round 14. Following that, Rounds 18-20 are Richmond, North and Freo, with Richmond and Freo at the G. Say if we win two out of those four games, and have one other upset win: I can't see us feasibly winning more than that.

After last weekend, we're less than a 50-50... but somewhere in there this season we'll win one, maybe two that we shouldn't... Against a down-and-out Hawks or something like that. With the important players out from our list right now, we are looking pretty grim... Garland, Rivers, Frawley etc all still in and it's a different answer.

Thankfully, Richmond will boot Wallace, and play better under their caretaker coach, who will get Cotchin back in. So I'm still confident they'll finish above us.

Would it be negligent for the club to win more than 4 games?

Well we don't really need to......

I hope we can win four, but five would unfortunately be a travesty :rolleyes:

Maybe.

It would be a source of consternation for some. Winning five would indeed be cruel.

I am of the belief we arent good enough to win five and will probably win three or four. But watching our performance on Sunday in Perth, it also wouldn't surprise me if we win one or two we're not expected to along the way. Time will tell.

In the end, we win as many as we win and we get the picks we get. Hopefully we can have a successful season with much improvement and development of our list, pinching a win or two along the way. Four wins sounds about right and is the best result.

The constant speculation and ongoing anxiety about the number of games we win is however, becoming tiring. Try and enjoy the games without worrying about whether winning is in our best interests or not.

I have a sneaking suspicion that our young guys are getting better a little too fast. West coast, Fremantle and Richmond are all weak sides and I think we may beat them all (assuming we play Richmond and WC again). All it would take from there is one upset against someone like North Melbourne or the Hawks and we've thrown our priority picks away.

Did anyone else notice during the final quarter against WC that when we were overhauling them DB pulled our two best mids off the field? ^_^

Next year & Beyond i want wins at all costs.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.
