I've worked out that we will 'most likely'* win a flag in 2013.

This is based on the Increment of Four formula.

This Increment of Four is based on MFC winning the wooden spoon in 2009, winning four games.

In 2010, MFC finished in 12th position, an improvement of four places on the AFL ladder.

In 2011, MFC will 'most likely'* finish in 8th position, an improvement of four places on the AFL ladder.

In 2012, MFC will 'most likely'* finish in 4th** position, an improvement of four places on the AFL ladder.

In 2013, MFC will 'most likely'* finish in 1st position, an improvement of four places on the AFL ladder. In addition, the crowning of MFC as premiers in 2013 will have seen four years pass since the 2009 wooden spoon.

** - 2012, due to a fourth place finish could see a flag come this year, the formula sustains this anomaly slightly :mellow:

* - there is absolutely no basis or foundation for an Increment of Four. Except for a flimsy connection between 2009 to 2013. And the four wins in 2009. And the improvement of four places on the AFL ladder in 2010 :huh: Besides, the mighty Dees will win a flag before that!

Yep, need a few more Jacks in that premiership team plus another Viney would be nice especially from reports about this kid! Certainly no golfer.

I hate hearing the assumption a lot of fans have that Melbourne will be a top four team within the next few years.

Nothing is guaranteed in football.

No assumptions here the formula is faultless!

You are aware this is a bit of pi$$ take?

Demon Hill- at least you have a positive attitude.I like that.

Always positive JC. Don't doubt the formula though! ;)

Like it.

We also only won four more quarters than last year...

Is that right? Great pick up 45, wish I had of included that B)

Very good. I'm tipping your favourite player might be no.4 as well ? ;)

Pretty close HT, although if pressed for one it would be Jack Grimes - # 16. (Four x Four) :lol:

No doubt Chip Frawley #8, would be right up there too...(Four + Four).

I was thinking 2014, considering our last flag was in 1964 (exactly 50 years apart), but I like your thinking DH.

How about Bruce ((four x four) + (four x four)), Jamar ((four x four) + (four x four) + four + four) or Trengove (four + four + (four / four))?

Also interesting to note that you have 824 posts - divisible by four

Your logic maybe good but I think 2013 is too early.

Look how long it has taken the saints after they bottomed out and they still have not won it.

We are only starting the climb and it is damn hard to win one.

just look at the pies.

They have had a lot of good teams and have won it once in the last 51 years

2015 is probably more realistic ( even though that seems a long way off to me)

St Kilda reached a preliminary final in 2004. They just dropped off afterwards, with the changing of coaches and some other things.

Rather humourous thread lads.

The bloke who wears four + four + four is pretty handy too.

Indeed, the man who wears four goes alright. The man who wears four plus four goes very well. The man who wears four plus four plus four goes very well. The dude who wears four plus four plus four plus four is unreal when fit. The guy who wears four plus four plus four plus four plus four is one of the better young backs going around. The guy wearing four plus four plus four plus four plus four plus four is totally unreal. The man who wears four plus four plus four plus four plus four plus four plus four has been a handy pickup. The old boy who dons four plus four plus four plus four plus four plus four plus four plus four has had a great career. The flash who appears in the four plus four plus four plus four plus four plus four plus four plus four plus four is the defending best and fairest winner. The giant in the four plus four plus four plus four plus four plus four plus four plus four plus four plus four could be A/A and finally the youngster in the four plus four plus four plus four plus four plus four plus four plus four plus four plus four plus four has come from nowhere to become best 22 when fit.

Wow.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
