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....?

Richmond will give us a football lesson next week.

We'll see.

Their fans were thinking they wouldn't win another game this season before the Swans game.

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!

Im to tired to deal with a thumping first round of the finals. I have never said this before but i cant wait untill the end of the season, we can start again and leave 2011 behind us. bring on the cricket!!!

please...had nearly purged those memories :mellow:

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

It's going to be good going to Adelaide knowing we have never lost at the venue. Viney's already outdone Bailey!!!

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.

We won't make it. When teams move from "fighting for a finals spot" to "a mathematical chance", the maths never ever works out.

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.......

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
