I know it means absolutely nothing after round 1..

But its been a bloody long time since we've been in the top 4!

Maybe it'll be two weeks in a row?

Carn the dees!

    Rnd 1 teams that looked good for the whole game were Port, Hawks and Freemantle. No other winners were totally convincing. On that basis we can win a few games previously marked down as losses.

    Top 4 at seasons end, No. Knocking on the door of the 8, Yes!! Go Dees.

    GWS have to be considered an easier opponent that Gold Coast. We're in with a decent chance next week.

    Nope. Not that it matters, but they beat them in nab challenge, and have a far better midfield and forward line, in my opinion.

    And we will have Vince and Dawes back!

    GWS are pretty solid favourites though which is surprising.

    'absolutely nothing' is not quite right.. it means we performed better than 14 clubs in the first outing. Our opponent was not all that flash though if we're being honest

    Next week: A real chance to get back-to-back wins for the first time since r13/14, 2011

    When was the last time we were inside the 8 at the end of a round ? I'd be guessing about round 5-6 2011 ?

    We were last in the top 4 in Round 21, 2006, after beating North by 50 points at the G (our most recent win against them) and drawing with Geelong in Geelong (our most recent non-loss to Geelong).

    We then got belted by Adelaide in Adelaide (when Bartram got injured IIRC?) to slip out of the top 4, putting us 7th and in the Elimination Final against St Kilda.

    top 8 I dunno

    Enjoy the good times, but remember the first 6 rounds mean Jack Shite.

    are the wins worth less than 4 premiership points or something

    With a win next week we will be in the 8 for a while to come. This will be good for the mindset of the players and club, not to mention the long suffering supporters. When players see the team in the 8 week after week this can only be a good thing.

    We should never consider any opponent easy. We have no right to that mindset.

    Go up to Canberra, secure 4 points, nobody get reported & come home.

    he didn't say that at all, he said we're in with a decent chance

    he also said GW$ should be an easier opponent than the $un$

    Start thinking like that and we get rolled.

    It's not at the MCG. Makes it a tougher assignment

    We must erase the soft MFC underbelly

    Stop thinking the job is done.

    So many times this club has lost the "easy" games in the past

    • 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.
