Where do we finish on the ladder next year?

Recommended Posts

I hope we win games early and get confidence and momentum, something we've not had since about 2006.

If we do, perhaps we can finish about 10th. Can't go from second last to top 8 in a year IMO.

That would be the stuff of Hollywood - and I don't believe in Hollywood.

But it exists. It's where your avatar comes from.

You must believe!

you have a point for the 1% of cases where there is any possibility of some sort of litigation

for the other 99% you have no point.

Give us an example of the 99%. Enlighten.

And how is it that I have been here in this one incarnation for 7 years, and have never been a moderator, and don't feel this oppression and archaic censorship?

I think our list has been improved in the post season, as has the coaching panel (George Stone excluded obviously) and presumably also the players' understanding and ability to execute Roos' game plan/structures.

We literally stole losses from the jaws of victory against Port and the Bulldogs last year. In a sense, we should've had 6 wins last year.

All things going well, and with the improvements to the list etc, I am hoping for about 10 wins next season.

7-9 in my opinion

I'd like to agree with this. There is no way we are going backwards where others next season indicate they are dropping off. Of course you have to remember Port, and not so long ago the yo-yo years. Not to mention there are always surprises in the ladder and I just hope this year it'd us.

It all depends on how our 2nd and third year player performs next year, will they take the next step, or backwards, in the last 5 years they have gone backwards, odd's are that has to change sooner other than later. Player like Kent, thoumpas, T. McDonald, jkh, Salam, must take next step.

Wow - another "make a guess" thread which is manna from heaven for both the optimists ('top 4') and the pessimists ('bottom, we are crap').

To the pessimists who have us 18th - we aren't absolutely certain that WADA won't step in after the AFL issue their 'non-penalty' against a certain drug cheating club and ensure that it is a 17 team competition.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
