    Interesting theory...interested on your reasoning that Sydney will slide drastically down the ladder while St Kilda play in september again

    I listed Sydney as sliding because they will not have the A grade goodes forever and i just dont think they have a team on the rise. As for the saints i think they will have one more year in the 8 with a fit lenny back for 2012. Just my thoughts.

    Judd just did a shoulder at training. Blues hopes will be dashed. No key forward and no Judd for most of the year by the sounds of it.

    True story, or atleast scans from what i gather?

    I think the Pies performance in

    2011 GF is the start of a decline for them. I'm also of convinced about Buckley , and they do have serious salary cap issues. I'd put them fourth. Also I think you are bring optimistic in seeing Essendon sliding so far. My ladder would be:

    Geelong

    Hawthorn

    Collingwood

    West Coast

    Carlton

    Fremantle

    Melbourne

    Adelaide

    Essendon

    St Kilda

    North

    Sydney

    Dogs

    Tigers

    Gold Coast

    Port.

    Brisbane

    GWS

    Well, according to the news report I read yesterday after it happened, they (Carlton) were fairly confident he would be fit in time for the beginning of season 2012. Still, I suppose it means he will begin the year without the benefit of a full pre-season, which means he will only be superb instead of his usual brilliant :-)

    Now being reported that Judd will miss 4 months with shoulder injury.

    I guess this finally justifies Hawthorn's decision not to take him with Pick 1 in 2001 draft because of concerns about his shoulders.

    (As an aside, I heard Dermott Brereton on SEN a couple of months ago saying Hawthorn would have picked him with their first pick in 2000 if he'd been eligible then for the draft but by 2001 because of concern about his shoulders decided on Luke Hodge)

    Interesting views. Seems like the top 6 are set in stone, although theres always a surprise....that leaves 8 teams fighting for the last 2 spots and 4 for the spoon....(come on Tom)....I do see us as in the fight for the 8 with a similar type season, results wise, to 2010. Back to being competitive with most teams and back to a 50 point loss at Geelong, and a few of the inevitable close loses that are always associated with a rise in performance.

    Interesting that some in the media still predict we will be tanking for more draft picks next year and beyond. It's these bastards i want to show up. Tanking is not the answer. Winning is.

  • Quote

    I think we will win around 10 games ,finish around the same as this year , maybe 12th. Therefore, just a very slight improvement , but with a great movement up the ladder in 2013.

    Good one O.D.

    We think alike.

    No Chrystal ball in this house, although I'd like to think that Adelaide wont make it because of the turnover of players. Surely they will miss Sellars too much!!?

  • Quote

    I definately think Melbourne can win up to 12 games- the key to them making the finals though is keeping the bleeding in the losses to a minimum as i think with so many crap sides at the bottom winning less than six games there's a chance a team could miss the finals despite having a winning record- the round 2 game away to West Coast will give a great indication of what Mark Neeld's Demons are made of.

    In around the eight, realisticly probably just miss out but hope to see more consistancy and be happy with 20 odd more games into all the young brigade... Also fingers crossed we can get a whole season out of my main man Grimes

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
