Think of how awsome an experience it would be for all our young players. They will have the oportunity to get beaten by over 100 points in a final.

1988, 2000....?

To get a taste of finals for the young fellas would be great, however it won't be this year. The best we can hope for is to have equal points with Sydney but our percentage will kill us. Just the mention of finals this year is a massive change up from where we have been for the last few years! Bring on a strong preseason with the right coach and smash up 2012!

Go Dees!

I love the ol'd mathematical probability and I'll keep my hopes up until it's no longer possible - why? cause I love the MFC and would love them to sneak in.

However, what I really am looking forward to is the change in attitude of everyone on here when we play 3 teams that aren't in the top 4. I cant wait to see Frawley dispose of Reivolt and us smash GCFC and break the AAMI hoodoo. That will be enough for me to finish the season. 10 and a half wins and a full pre-season....

bring on 2012!

All well and good but the game is being played at Adelaide Oval not AAMI

Better to come ninth? Why? The supporters have the same amount of killer instinct as the players currently. Grow some stones .. Make the 8, face a good team and expose these guys to where they need to get to. Sure they lose, but they need to play finals FFS.

Take a leaf out of essendon, Carlton and collingwoods book (the historically successful clubs) and demand success.

This is such a Melbourne football club supporters attitude.

Sick of it.

Mate, let's give it a crack.

Back ourselves in and smash the Tigers. I would love to beat the blues in our first home final at the mcg.

Fb - blease. Garland. Rivers

Hb. green. Frawley. Sylvia

C. Davey. Moloney. Scully

Hf. Trengove. Watts. Jurrah

Ff. Martin. Howe. Petterd

Fol. Jamar. Jones. Mckenzie

Int. Nicholson, jetta, McDonald, gysberts

Apart from confidence, if coached properley, why can't we make the finals and beat the dirty blues.

I don't care if we play Port on the moon, if we don't beat them in Round 24 it would be one of the most epically disastrous results we've had in 4+ seasons.

I will literally dig my own hole and bury myself in it.

Of course whether we win or lose we still won't make finals, and thank god for that. I don't want us to get smashed first up, it's better just to miss out than to make up numbers if the only experience you'll gain is one of getting your arse kicked mercilessly.

Pissweak attitude

So you want us to scrape into the finals, not on merit, but on the back of other teams failing, so we can front up to Carlton or West Coast first up and get demolished by 100+ points?

Epic achievement that one.

Jaded, youre wasting your breath. Some seem to think that any game in the finals is character building. Not all realise character is a multidirectional result.

But youre right ...we wont make it anyway so much of al lthis is moot.

I totally agree in regard to our inconsistency blah blah blah, but if you win enough games you "deserve" to get in. Every extra game especially a final can only help Watts, Trengove, Scully etc in the future.

I just can't believe people don't want to make finals under any circumstances, it's got to be in good form...or with momentum...sunshine will not be blown up their backsides if they lose in the finals. Have you thought how it may ignite something even deeper in their motivation.

Do you think Richmonds Chris Newman ever wished to come ninth all those times? It's not a given that we naturally improve as every other club does also.

Take it when you can.

Putting whether we deserve it or not aside, if we win big the next three games (Tigers, GC and Port), and Sydney get thrashed by the Saints and Cats, even if they beat Brisbane we could sneak in on percentage.

Say we were coming off three huge 80+ point wins going into the finals, confidence is high.......

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
