Yesterday morning the last thing I was thinking about was finals, but it could actually happen now:

It is well known that a new coach usually starts with a win. A win this saturday against Carlton and we are back on the mix. A winnable game against WCE in Melbourne followed by 3 games we will be favourites for against Port, Gold Coast, and Richmond. All of a sudden we are back on track.

Am I crazy?

We are Melbourne supporters. We all fantasise. I'm sure this is on the back of every supporters mind. Not many will admit it yet.

OK I think we all need to take a deep breath now.....yes I would love a win but realistically, I will give you six or seven words that are reasons we will probably not win....

Judd, Murphy, Scotland, Gibbs, Walker, Betts, Simpson..all in top form..plus a few others.

Yes we will play better, yes we will defend with our lives, yes we may be still be in it in the last quarter.....but we have sacked the coach, we have not suddenly acquired two or three players with the experience or skill to take the game by the scruff of the neck......

also we will only have to stuff up a couple of stoppages and let Betts, Judd or Murphy goal side and we will find ourselves four or five goals down

Best of luck to Todd Viney but personally I am going to expect us to have a bloody good crack, anything else will be a bonus

Lets pause, if we do pull off an unlikley win against Carlton and i emphasise IF, then and only then can we talk about finals. I think the footy club has bigger issues to deal with and making the finals this year although it would be nice should not be in the forefront of our minds. Saying that if we beat Calton this week it wont take long for this Demon supporter to get just a touch excited.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    PREGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?
