Not much has been mentioned about this possibility.

If Melbourne was to win this weekend we would most likely go to 10 th spot possibly only 6 points out of the Eight

If Both Carlton beats the Sydney Swans and Richmond was to beat Nth Melb.

Worst Case Scenario is we end up 6 points a game and a half outside the eight

If Nth Melb and The Swans loose a few games over the coming weeks and we win our next Two all of a sudden anything becomes possible

So all I can Say Is GO DEES, Make us all Proud rattle a few teeth and shake a few bones on the way

A WOODEN SPOON IS NOT A OPTION

It will mean it will be even more insufferable on this forum when we eventually have another loss, because too many people will think we are ahead of where we actually are as a side.

Having said that, I hope we win.

Also, say we scrape into the finals, Cats and Saints get some key injuries (half their team or more is injured in bus crashes on the way to games), we have shown we can match it with the dogs and the pies (whether they were at their best when we played is another story), we stay out of the hawks way (as we cant seem to beat them lately) and draw works out that we get the dockers in melbourne, we could almost snatch the flag this year also, why stop at just making the finals!!!

I'd just be happy for us to keep improving and win games we should win first though, but its a nice thought.

Unlikely...but what if....

Great call...gave me a good chuckle at work :)

I think it will be good if we push to make the finals, but if we make it teh players adn the coaching staff and the general public may all get ahead of themselves like Essendon did last year when they scraped into the finals with 10 wins, a draw and 11 losses.

If we can get some momentum as Richmond did. Finals is quite possible!

We would need to win at least 5 out of 7! Would need to beat Sydney, Hawthorn and North for double points!

Unlikely though!

Upset of the week...

The Dee's will beat Freo this week!

Freo are vulnerable and we will find them out if we run and play the corridor!

We are capable of kicking winning score's with our current team. That's more than 100 points!

Cant wait too see Bail burn em up!

We have GOT to start winning on the Road-whether it Be at The Etihad Dump or Interstate.

Just do it this weekend Demons. Break those chains. Win a game under Hostile conditions out of the MCG womb.

I think Freo are less vulnerable this week than they have been for a long time... yeah they lost Barlow but look at the ins with Tarrant, Broughton & McPharlin. That is a massive boost to their backline and/or spine. A Dees win would be the upset of the round

There blokes might be a little underdone at this level. Tarrant wont play! Broughton would be wary injuring his hammy twice since he played last.

And Nathan Fyfe has been recalled.

Not sure if Tarrant will play.

Jurrah makes such a difference on our forward line. Withhim there, and green playingforward also, 100+ points a game is more than possible. If we dothat consistently, and our defense stands up ( I would prefer warnock there i must say), then 5 out of seven wins over the last rounds becomes possibility.

The crucial game in my view is against the Swannies at the G. Everything becomes possible after that.

The only place in the 8 up for grabs will be the Swans or Blues,so as we have the Swans (should win or no point playing finals)next week at the G,i'm hoping we beat Freo and Blues beat the Swans and then we've caught up 8 points on the Swans with the Lions and Tigers the following 2 weeks.If we can hold Pav to 3 goals,i reckon we'll beat Freo,they are decimated by injuries atm and sooner or later our forward line is going to tear a game apart,could it be this week on the big spaces of Subi,where our forwards will have loads of room.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
