    No. They will go to 24 points. We're on 26.

    Let's see if we can beat a broken & tired Footscray at Etihad first.

    On paper & form we should win, But it is on foriegn soil.

    This year i think i am more interested in winning away from the 'G than beating actual teams.

    Once the ground Hoo Doo's are gone, it will not matter who we play..Look at Wet Coke today, absolutely no intimidation against the Blues.

    To come back after being challenged in the 3rd Q was an incredible performance.

    The MFC must reach that level.

    My ladder predictor had us in 8th, somehow 10 points clear of Essendon in 9th...West Coast to snatch 4th, then Carlton, Sydney, and North in that order.

    Essendon and Freo are looking very, very shaky - only had them winning 2-3 more games for the year.

    Jason Dunstall picked us for 7th spot today on MMM. 11.5 wins, Kangaroos in 8th with 11 wins. Also seemed to think that if we win at Etihad on Friday then Bailey is golden.

    Wouldn't we all.

    West Coast are legimitate this year. They have the bye this week, then Friday night football against Geelong in Perth. That will be a corker. Should be interesting to see how they shape up against the ladder-leaders at home. I reckon they can do it, especially if Geelong are still missing some of their stars.

    Depends on which WC turns up. The one that struggled to beat GC and Port, or the one that beat the dogs by 20 goals and knocked off Carlton today.

    Just wait for us to lose to Hawthorn, Geelong and Carlton. That will send someone like North, Richmond or St Kilda over us.

    What I'm saying is being in the eight right now means jack-shite.

    Lose to Hawks, Cats and Blues and we will still finish 7th or 8th, as long as we beat the teams below us. As nice as it would be to make finals, I have us playing Sydney or West Coast away so we'd be straight out. I'd take the swans by choice though.

    We've actually not yet proven we've improved. We have a MUCH easier draw... and at the moment are 2 wins away from last years total. Not forgetting we have 2 easy wins pencilled in this year we didn't have last year in the GC games. I think 10-1-11 would be on par with last year, and 11-1-10 will beat it, and also will get us a finals berth and a peaceful off season. So to get that we're going to have to beat Dogs and Port in the next 3 weeks... then brace for the month of hell where we won't snaffle a win... Then hold fast for the last 3 weeks where we'll need to do what we did 5-6 years ago and win every game to make it.

    We can do it, but pinching one off one of West Coast, Carlton, Geelong and Hawthorn would make it a HUGE chance.

    After the Queen's Birthday match, Dunstall also tipped Richmond to beat us twice in the remaining games....

    Everyone has their opinion....each and every week.

    OK so we have had an up and down year but I for one am pretty happy to be sitting on 4.5 wins 5.5 losses

    The side has shown what they can do even missing 5 of their best 22

    It's time to put our eye back on the original goal

    Coll - mark it down as a loss but it has to be acknowledged we step up against them and we have some form and confidence

    Freo at the G - win

    Rich - win

    Dogs at ES - should win

    port at Darwin - should win

    Hawks - loss

    Cats - loss

    Carlton - loss

    Eagles at ES - should win

    rich - win

    GC -win

    Port at aami - probably lose

    for mine that puts us on 11.5 wins and 8th spot

    We'll do better than the 8, we'll win the Grand Final !

    The next two games are must wins to have any chance, if we lose against the Dogs or Power we have little chance of making the final 8. Win both and we only need 3 wins from our final 7 matches.

  • Quote

    Pretty simple really, if we keep winning games we will play finals. If we start losing again, then our chances will drop. If we don't knock of at least one of Carl, Geel, Hawks, or Eagles, then we shouldn't play finals. Whats the point if you cannot beat the teams that will be playing finals anyway?

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
