    Obviously the optimism for a improved season shown on Demonland is not shared by the betting fraternity.

    Personally, I think the destruction of culture at the Swans will set them back out of the top 4 next season. Just my two cents. They were a far worse team this year than they were the year before, and they had Tippett for half of it.

    As a non gambler....I couldn't give a stuff of what punters or bookies think or expect

    I imagine that Port's odds last year were very large.(if that's the word)

    Both are just guessing like the rest of us.

    The odds look fair to me.

    MFC only has once chance of winning the Flag in 2014 and that is if every other teams is forced to finish 9th on the ladder.

    I take it from this that we're seen as likely to finish in the bottom 2 in 2014.

    They are seldom wrong RB.

    However these sort of markets are not ones that hold a lot of money.

    I guarantee you that if you rang them and said I want to put $1000 on the dees they would not take the bet.

    Leave aside the dee faithful there would not be one reasonable judge who would predict us to get out of the bottom four in 2014 .

    The problem with any club faithful is we all over rate our list.

    There is a reason we have won six games in two years is it that we have a poor list.

    One pre season will not turn us into a silk purse.

    Three may but one won't IMO.

    True OD overall the MFC list is still poor.

    OD this is how I see the MFC and what it needs to do to improve in 2014:

    The MFC does have a few good players and its appears to be a better list going into the 2014 season.

    However you would expect most other Clubs have also improved their lists as well.

    To me the MFC new recruits appears to be boarder line players from othe teams.

    If there is improvement in 2014 IMO it will come from getting our best 22 consistantly on the field without injury.

    Also the Club needs to have a winning approach to games and not accept continual defeats.

    From a Club point of view I could not see how it could have done things differently to improve itself from the beginning of the 2013 season.

    New Presient, board members, CEO, coaching staff, improved mid field, major sponsor were all steps in the right direction and very much needed.

    Prior to the first test, what were the odds of Australia being three from three? Very different to today I expect.

    Most of the odds on that table will change throughout the season, potentially quite significantly for some teams.

    If we win some games early in the season, we won't be such a lock for the bottom two.

    For instance, I reckon the Bombers might slide in 2014 - good list, but plenty of off field drama, and a tough draw.

    Some, however, are saying they have the potential to be top 4 next year. I just don't see that.

    In short, the odds are accurate in many respects. BUT, at this point in the year, they aren't particularly informative.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
