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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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
