With the Crows shock win over the Saints, we have now slipped to 12th.

With a win over Norf tomorrow we will climb back to 11th.

Nothing groundbreaking, but in spite of the fact we'd receive a draft pick 2 positions earlier, it is a weak silver lining and personally I want the win.

It would send Junior off in a fitting manner and would give us some momentum going into next season.

Reprehensible concept, wanting to lose for draft picks, I know, but I thought it was a point worth raising.

    If Port lose, we're 10th.

    Here's the breakdown as far as I know.

    (Assuming Port lose or draw)

    If we win, we get picks 16, 33, 50, 67, 84 and so on... (incidentally, the roos who are 9th, would get pick 17 straight after us... Gold Coast's picks in the first round end after the team who comes tenth... until the start of the second round).

    If we lose we get 12, 31, 48, 65, 82 and so on.

    Not a huge difference... but unlike any normal year, we would drop 4 spots if we won tomorrow (and Port lose).

    melbourne need to forget draft picks....a draft pick is just a for one player....a win means 22 boys have put it together on the day...a great way to finish off the year...

    north beat us last time...each win removes doubt amongst the players...

    last year was good to lose but this year...we want to finish with respect....sponsorship and confidence will be better than 2 picks early in a draft for one player...

    Here here! We've got to conquer some of our hoodoo teams/venues and after failing last week we need to beat North to make up for it

    Lose.

    Lol, jk. It's 2010, not 2009.

    Win. I wanna smash those arrogant Roos and show them who the real young-up-and-coming-next-superstar team is. They're so deluded.

    By my reckoning, we've only played 6 really good quarters against North out of the past 36. 2 out of the last 28.

    This is something I'd love to see changed today.

    This was a combination of lookings at the scores for the past 9 games we've played and the memory of what happened on those days.

    In this case it's not so much of a statistic as an opinion, but I think if many people undertook a similar exercise they'd probably come up with something pretty similar.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
