Despite our win the TAB have stretched Melbourne's odds of making the top 8 out to 251:1. Last week I believe it was about 35:1. Either this represents great value or the bookies know something we don't.

    I believe because we struggled over the worst team in the league until the last quarter and I think we will be lucky to win more than 5 games this year, the odds are fair.

    I shouyld have waited a few rounds before backing the dees to make the 8 before the season commenced!

    500-1 with sportsbet! Has to be worth a sneaky fiver, surely?

    Or the bookies were caught napping last week and hadn't adjusted the odds out.

    What are the odds of nine different teams' planes crashing this year? Figure that out and you'll have deduced the odds of us making the finals.

    We'd still finish ninth...

    We won't win the spoon anyway, so there's your extra team.

    It's amazing what confidence develops within a week haha

    How much confidence do you need in order to say you won't come last? Not much I hope.

    Depends on doping, a few teams (us included) might yet lose points much higher odd of that than a plane crash

    I no longer think that we will come last, but last week there were many on here saying that we'd be lucky to win a game for the season.

    Give your money to orphans or the poor instead. You'll better for losing it.

    What are the odds for second last?

    Odds on you'd think, $1.50 maybe.

    Although if the boys can pull it off this week against Brisbane that particular club might disintegrate after consecutive games against

    7 of last year's Top 8 plus Essendon and Carlton. Maybe they might be the better bet for 2nd last.

    Probably an end of year thing I would think C&B

    Realistically, 14th is as high as I can see us finishing - GWS, Bullies and Lions all having serious issues too. GC not so much but I think they've stalled.

    • 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.
