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.

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

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.

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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
