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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    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
