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.

    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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
