It didn't hit me until tonight as to how important next week truly is. This is the one chance that we will get to beat the Hawks for a while and with Lewis coming back, possibly Cyril and Sewell we are gonna get mauled. But, seeing as though Rioli's hammy is so dodgy a week at Box Hill may do him well along with Bruce and Sewell. If Chip dominates Buddy and keeps him really quiet and Davey comes back in and kills it with our forward line I can see a win. This game holds the key to us making the 8 i reckon, with the Cats at Skilled no chance, Blues at the G, maybe with no key forward and defence and to get back at Robinson, and the Eagles at the dreaded Etihad the slightest of chances after Saints game. It truly is an elim final this week. People bag our club cos we haven't played finals for ages, it begins this week!!

This game is the game where we have to win to progress through the season and the 8 I reckon. The finals start on Sunday. They won't be as fired up as they wudda been this week cos of Allen Jeans and all so i rate us a chance. Anyone else with me?

Was just thinking the same after a bit of ladder predicting. I would be worried about any fatigue after tonight though. Also Carlton might be gettable. I feel we need one of the next 4 as St Kilda,, Essendon and the Bulldogs are winning again and I can see 10.5 wins being just shy of 8th spot.

Would rather play consistent footy week to week,the end result may be finals.At least we won't be crucified the first week of finals,merely making the numbers up.

Consistent footy week to week will look after itself.

To make the 8 we will need 12.5 wins. Anything under that will not do with so many clubs fighting for the last spot.

This will mean 5 more wins from the next 7 matches.

It's time to say goodbye to 2011 and look forward to 2012

11.5 will definately still do it, 10.5 would have before the WB beat Carlton.... so i will guess at 11.5 being the number meaning we now need to snag one of the next 4 before winning the last 3

long way to go in this season

Agreed that it may be the one we have to win. We have 7 matches left, and by my Bailey's ladder predictor calculations, the only way we get in off 3 wins is if EVERY team around us stumbles at some point. The unusual North/Essendon/Dogs and Saints wins are all screwing with our chances.

I can't see us beating WC, Blues or Geelong. But if we can sneak one of the next 4 AT ALL, we will be a good, good chance of having Bailey as our coach next year. :D

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
