    its just that so far we have seen nothing (i don't consider pre season training as any guide)

    Honestly, first half of the season is very rough - we play all of last years top 8 by rnd 11 IIRC

    Good. It's a tough game.

    Im going to say it now we will play finals this year we will finish 7th 13 wins with one win on the queens birthday.

    I think we'll sneak in, but I also think it depends hugely on the development of the teams around us (eg Nth, Richmond, Essendon and Freo probably) and how teams go who might be sliding a bit (like, say Bullies and the Swans).

    I try never to predict where we will finish because of looking at the draw. Lets face it anyone who looked at the 2011 draw and said we've done well we have Gold Coast twice and West Coast twice was wrong. It's not about beating the lower teams the games we need to win are those agaisnt the Roos, Dockers, Tigers, Saints, Bombers and Swans who will all be around where we are. Win the majority of those and pinch one or two against the top sides ane we make it.

    Totally agree, we are in the middle of the pack and have been the last 2 years, to make the finals we will have to have a win against collingwood or geelong or one of the top 5 or so teams, then we need to win more than we loose against oother teams around the middle like essendon north richmond and then beat GWS port brisbane and the other teams at the bottom, as for my opinion I think we will finsh very similar to last year and the year before that, a game or 2 out of the eight but I would love to be proven wrong and we are starting to run out of excuesses

    I reckon the club is quietly confident, and keen to keep the lid firmly on till the real stuff starts.

    Ox has smelt the vibe and i reckon is spot on.

    If we can hold our game plan during the tough first half of the season, we shall be rolling in the second half, and we have enough depth to endure injuries, and form slumps to ensure we keep rolling...

    Perhaps 2011 was another 1999, meaning... :mellow:

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
