I noticed Shane Warne spruiking the Saints chances of playing finals this year so had a look at their draw.

They have Gold Coast, Essendon, Melbourne, Western Bulldogs, North, Carlton, Sydney, Richmond, and Brisbane.

Given they're on 6 wins, I'd say they're a good chance to win 12, a fair chance of 13 and a sneaky shot at 14.

Shane Warne could spin a ball at right angles on a pane of glass... that's kinda where his talent ends.

I would think you'd need 13-14 to make the 8 this year and StKilda are too hot'n'cold to make confident predictions about any of those games.  

They're building, but they're not there yet.

I'll be shattered if they make finals before us.

But they certainly have the fixture to do it. They could easily be 9-7 as they have GC, Essendon and us over the next 3 weeks.

If they beat us in 2 weeks for the 14th? straight win then they deserve a finals berth ahead of us

The MFC is still all talk, we are still not hungry enough as a whole club. 

We have a good draw this year, but it depends whether the bus is parked after Queens Birthday...

Sometimes i wish we didn't have that game...

No one outside the top 8 can make finals.. the bottom 3 sides of the top 8 have an easy run home. The end.

Have you seen Norths draw? They may not win too many more based on their current inability to beat other top 8 sides.

This will be the years highlight if Nought continue to plummet like a Malaysian Airlines flight on a bad day...

Can't see North falling out of the 8 but won't make top 4.

Wishing them to go out in the first final :cool:

If they play Richmond in the first final, they won't go out.

That would be a sight.

 

If anyone is interested....

Eagles over there (loss)

Port ES (win)

Pies ES (win)

Saints ES (50/50 based on their last meeting and Saints win over the Cats)

Bulldogs ES (loss)

Hawks MCG (loss)

Swans Blundstone (loss)

Giants ES (loss)

They could end up with 12 wins, (and yes they could end up with 18). There form against other top 8 sides has been ordinary, if this continues they may finish as los as 8th and be bundled straight out.

I think the Melbourne's and Saints of the world are still a year off.

Be superb if Port beat them...

I don't mind the Saints, but I'd very much enjoy finally breaking this [censored] drought against them and stuffing their finals chances at the same time.

Speaking of that match mate and if the Kangas can get up for it, let's have a look at the Eagles run.

HOME V ESSENDON (WIN)

HOME V NTH MELB (WIN, But maybe UPSET)

AWAY V CARLTON (WIN, BUT MAYBE AWAY GAME "UPSET")

HOME V MELB (WIN, BUT IF WE'RE TALKING THE 8, THIS IS OUR MUST WIN )

AWAY V CWOOD (WIN)

AWAY V FREO (WIN)

AWAY V GWS (LOSS)

HOME V HAWKS (WIN, BUT MAYBE UPSET LOSS?)

AWAY V ADEL (LOSS, UNLESS ADEL ARE RESTING)

(Scuse the caps, i was excited)

We are in it. There's a reason people have been doubting the Eagles and Kangas over the past month, they're in danger of falling out if they don't step up and play finals type footy to earn their spot, assuming the teams outside the 8 also step up another notch and play consistently good footy.

Even if they win all of their expected wins, that still leave 2 losses. It only takes one or two upsets on top of those 2 losses and any team outside the 8 on 24 points has a chance to leap frog them if they can hit 7 or 8 out of 9 (or all 9) Slim chance but who knows. Richmond did it in 2013

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
