I remember distinctly that at the time we were only mathematical chances of making the finals and amazingly we pulled through and got there. Can we do it again, at even unlikelier odds??? I would love it!! But i guess not, too many players not playing hard enough and fixtures of other teams don't help us. I can only pray for the Swans to lose up in Brizzy and for us to win the next three by considerable margins. If only.

    I agree, Maco!

    I remember '87, too, when we'd won 6 and lost 10.

    We won a couple, and our confidence soared. In the end we were a genuine premiership contender. The next year we beat the reigning premiers three times, including in the finals.

    Richmond will be hard for us, but if we can go flat out, and get a few breaks, it could be the turning point!

    Here's hoping!!

    in 2005 we had a team that had played in Finals the year before and we weren't a team of kids. and there's also the fact the we really really suck.

    You just answered your own question.

    All WE can do is our part, focus on finishing off the season with 3 wins, if the results fall our way then great, but if not then so be it.

    I just hope we win the last three and end with 10.5 with is not too bad really.

    Maybe you should have checked the fixture before starting up this thread.

    The last round is Sydney v Brisbane in Sydney.

    What sneak into the finals and get smashed by a better opponent? Why bother? That elimination final against the Cats was one of the worst games I've been to. When everyone was going ballistic after Whites goal against the Dogs my brother and I were just sitting there laughing at the Dogs supporters who thought it was in the bag moments before but knowing that we were not a chance for the flag and had blown yet another opportunity. Those years (2004-06) were a wasted period throwing away top 4 chances in each year.

    good point. No chance!!! Someone close the thread!

    I don't think so. We are no certainty to win all 3 matches. The confidence of Melbourne supporters leading into this match is troubling.

    I agree. Richmond will win this weekend, you can just about bank on it, given current form. Speaking of current form, we are no certainty to win any of the 3 - how does that strike you ?!

    Please High Tower, don't say such horrible things. The thought of losing to GCFC and PAFC is more than I could bear.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
