We're two wins better than last year, with a couple more in the "Could have, Should Have" category than last year...

So any more wins a bonus!

I hope Roo's and the boys continue to evolve their attacking game and style for the last month without fear of criticism and with the joy of playing teams under pressure to make the eight, and spoiling their dreams.

Reckon 2+ wins as we come home with a wet sail, and 8 wins is an AWESOME result! best since 657 BC.

    I have done similar but if you continually think the MFC will instantly change from pauper to prince after one game you will be sadly disappointed.

    Pies game is history the much harder North awaits in 6 days time.

    Someone recently highlighted the need to celebrate our wins. He suggested that if we don't enjoy our successes then what's the point. Live a little old dee.

    Goodvibes is right here OD. There is no need to go 'back to reality' only a few days after a win. Enjoy it as much as you can. I look forward to watching Footy Classified tonight to see them discuss how good the win was, what a pick up Bernie Vince has been etc. Sure beats the weeks where we get beaten. I won't stop enjoying it until our next loss.

    I'll guess we'll win one more. 2 more would be great!

    No idea who we'll beat, probably not Carlton because - I'm curious; When was the last time we beat a team we were favored to beat?

    Literally two weeks ago.

    Of course, here on Demonland anything beyond a week ago is a time of myth and legend…where the ancient gods were petty and cruel, and plagued mankind with suffering

    Best you take a trip up to Romsey - BBO will take that curiosity right out of you Rob.

    We should beat Carlton, but we should have beaten Essendon and St Kilda - we are capable of losing to Carlton.

    I reckon that's the key thing. We are very capable of losing to Carlton, I actually really like how you've put it. We are becoming a decent team now, but are capable of losing to anyone, until we meet someone like Brisbane who are far more adept at being a horrible team lately.

    Hopefully we come out firing next week because, quite simply, I hate North Melbourne as a football club. We could beat them, so we might as well. Just for a laugh. Just for the hilarious hangover that I'll follow it up with.

    Do it for my hangover, boys.

    So far my mid year prediction is holding fairly steady. I felt like we would get 7-8 wins with us dropping a couple of disappointing ones but picking up some really good wins as well. I would love nothing more than for us to chalk up our first "2 in a row" for yonks against North. There is something about them I really don't like, plus I feel they are massively over rated every year.

    What I have seen this year is that our best has gotten actually quite exciting, but our worst is still almost as bad as the Mark Neeld years. That means on any given day we can lose to anyone, it also means on any given day I reckon we can beat anyone outside the top 4.

    7 is a pass for me (by the skin of their teeth), 8 and above is a successful development year.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
