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.......

    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

    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

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
