Melbourne can still make the 8!

Posted July 15, 200916 yr

All this talk of tanking and resting McLean, Moloney, Jurrah etc while putting Zomer on the ball and Valenti at full fwd should be put to bed.

We can still mathematically make the 8!

This the ladder predictor I came up with and I have us playing Essendon in week 1 of the finals - if all goes to plan

What are the odds from here of:

MFC winning 7 of 7 including beating both Saints (1) and Geelong at cattery (2)?

Freo winning 4 more games??

and Richmond winning 3 more games???

Plus WCE 4 more when they play MFC Freo and Nth Melb in their 7????

Dreaming!!! :lol:

Who did St KFC lose to?

Has to be us.

Quote

July 15, 200916 yr

"Has to be us."

Feasible in these slightly improbable circumstances, since StK would be at least 3 games clear on top, with no incentive in round 22, while we'd be playing for our lives.

I remember in 1987, after16 rounds, we'd won 6 and lost 10. I suggested to my mates before the round 17 match that we could make the 5 (or was it 6 then?). They scoffed. This is a tad less likely, but would raise its head if we(on a 2 game winning streak), beat Geelong(on a 2 game losing streak ) on Sat.

Having said that, I pray that we only win one(or none) more.

Quote

July 15, 200916 yr

That would be 9 wins straight, almost garuanteed to win the premiership with that kind of form going into the finals.

But we'd only get pick 16 in this scenario!!! A shocking return for the year.

That's a bit short really. It'd be at least 100-1 about the Dees getting up against both St Kilda AND Geelong, never mind the rest.

Ooze2juice, are you factoring in a series of 200 point wins? Our percentage looked pretty good in your model.

All our wins were entered as 300 to 0. Jurrah to kick 200 goals in the remaining 7 games.

PREVIEW: Carlton
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.

REPORT: North Melbourne

I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

CASEY: Werribee
CASEY: Werribee

The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill. However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.
