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

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....

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!

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.

Dees by 27.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
