Essendon has a better chance of playing finals than Melbourne

Was listening to the Run Home on SEN last night and Jon Ralph and the boys were talking about the possible make up of the final 8 this year.

Ralph mentioned 3 teams that simply will not play finals this year - Carlton, Brisbane, and Melbourne. He then went on to mention that while he gives the Dons a slight chance, he said they'll probably miss out in the end.

So basically he rates us lower than a side that will be missing 10 of their best 22 all season. 

Please prove him wrong, Dees!

    Reversing Ralphy's truck will be backing up sooner than he thinks.  Just wait for the reversing beeps.

    Ah, old serious looking, squinty, cross-eyed Ralphy.  The same turnip who questioned Melbourne's decision to  trade a 20-something pick for Frost at the expense of drafting young talent without realising the trade also netted Alex Neal-Bullen and Oscar McDonald.

    In the end we got 3 players for that 20-something pick.

    Given the way we attract humiliation like a rotting carcass attracts blowflies it is not on beyond the realms of possiblity.  Though last season was a reasonable effort for the past decade we had more than our fair share of disgraceful performances.  I hope it is not the case this coming season but will not be surprised if we make Essendon look better than us given our track record.

    Sad but true. If ever a team can [censored] up an apparent certainty - we can!

    What I would like to know is why have the umpires been paid off so early this year that would give our worthy sycophants their fervour.

    Just a touch on reality though there will be some interesting decisions this year in a few very uninteresting games

    Without doubt Ralph has said one of the most bafonic things in recent memory. On top of losing 10 (??) of their best 22 they have also traded out Melksham/Carlisle/Ryder over the past two seasons. They are a team of kids and retirees.

    I labelled once before SEN as bogan radio - I rest my case. How these journalists are paid to talk such crap boggles my mind.

    Snatching defeat from the very jaws of victory : has been too often true. 

    Hopefully that will be dispatched to the vaults of history, to keep the integrity of the game, and trust and honesty company.

    Hahahahahahahahahah :P alot would have to go right for us to make the 8 i think, but to suggest we aren't in with less of a chance then Essendon reflects an unhealthy level of delusion.

    Essendon will win the spoon.

    • 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.
