Much now being pondered about Collingwood, now eq fav for flag.

Then there's us. Still very much in rebuild/dev mode and yet the filth have just one solitary point over us this year and lucky to boot. Roos still probably wondering where that biggest defeat came from. In the battle for the up and coming we pulled away quite convincingly.

Sometimes teams just play well against cert foes and we do against the Wobblies but I suppose the question I wish to pose is:

Are we a little further along our path than many would dare think ? Do we think we can really put a case that 2012 might arrive a year early ?

Often in the long footy year it's younger teams that start to wilt with the more mature bodied ones coming through when it matters and again were bucking that trend.

There's lots of little telltales , lots of boxes slowly getting ticked.

With Collingwood firing, how do many of us feel we would fare if we met them in the finals ? ( hypo at best I'd suggest )

    How would we ever know the answer BB-You don't want the MFC to play finals this year-To you 9th is far more Beneficial this year....Please Explain.

    I would love to play them in the finals. But it one game at a time. Just ask Richo after his attempt at asking Bailey about finals on the weekend, at 3 quater time no less.

    incapable of distinguishing between what Imight prefer...and a hypothetical...come on...youre brighter than that surely ?

    And yes I still think 9th is not only more realistic.. it is probably an outcome befitting results.

    But that aside.. are you able to adress the topic... ?? too hard ?

    I have us playing Geelong in the GF after a tremendous run that includes wins over Sydney, Brisbane, Richmond, Hawthorn, Port Adelaide, North Melbourne, Carlton, St Kilda and Collingwood and until it doesn't happen, for all intents and purposes, it could. The fact is that if we win every game from here until the end of the season, we will win the Premiership. Let's focus on Hawthorn first though, because that is our aim.

    Oh i would love the MFC to play collingwood at the MCG in this years finals, of course. What better experience for the team can there be???

    So i have answered your question, but you think it would be more beneficial to not play collingwood & finish 9th.....Please Explain as Finals are worth at least 5 games in terms of experience.

    If we do end up there .. So be it .. And you'd make best fist of it . Keep in mind well have shortest recovery being the very last game.

    The tenet is... How do we really rank given such miniscule margins against the eq flag fav?

    Are we maybe really a year ahead of where we thought we would be at 2010 end

    We rank pretty dam close to Collingwood given our 2 games against them this year-That is all you can go on.

    If we do not make it, or get knocked out in week 1, the Filth will be stoked.

    I do not believe all that Year ahead or not Business-The list changes each year-Tweaked. Some players over achieve, some under. As DB has said though-Game time into young players is vital-1-2 Finals will do that in spades if we keep winning. Finishing 9th is in no man's land. A wasteland. September action keeps the club & Sponsors firing for Bonus time. I see no reason at all for that to be a bad thing EVER.

    Carlton & Essendon are not us-their plight is their own.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
