Setting yourself up for disappointment, WYL. Ridiculous expectations IMO, but I hope you're right.

Mate after the last 10 years i think i can cope. 

Just remember the Steve Windwood track from the early 80's

I'm looking at licensing that track for a TV series, so I certainly do. ;)

I always remember it as i did a Contiki Bus Trip through Europe in '84 (and survived) and it was our song each morning

i certainly took heed!!

The karma bus is gathering momentum....Brown and Thompson out of the Norf side tomorrow.  Swannies have won the last 9 at Etihad.  Let's go Dees!!


We ain't playing finals this year but if we were, I'd back us to win an MCG final against anyone except for Hawks and Sydney - the finals professionals.

If we beat Carlton next week, that would get us to an 8-4 record at the G which is pretty damn good. The only MCg game that we were outclassed all day was against the Dogs.

Playing home games at the G is going to hold us in great stead in future years, when finals come around.

True. Hawthorn only loses to very good sides.

Happy enough that even a statistical chance allows this thread to go to four pages this late in the year,.

Much better dreaming of Finals  than draft picks,  but I think either Norf or sainters will ruin the dream,   But they havnt done it yet

Dream On    Go Dees !!!


I have been explaining the scenario for us to get in to finals this week to the footy fans at work. I've been so annoying with my ariffmatix.

Let's get through this week and I'm going to be bloody insufferable*

* We aren't going to get there but I'm having a good time right now! And I'm insufferable normally.

I'd seen it on one sports betting site at 34-1 earlier in the week.  That's why I jumped on the 100-1.  

If the results go our way tomorrow we'll be the only one outside the 8 that can make it.

On the way to tullamarine now for tonights game. Fully expect a win and and '87 repeat of the westen oval game at kardinia park in 2 weeks. Who says history never repeats!

Had we won the game in Perth a few weeks ago, I would have been reasonably confident but the odds are now too great.

The odds are great. Multi it into finals 2017 and you get a nice little pay out. Now what to spend my money on?

Fascinating that the Saints game is on the same time as ours.

Not quite an '87 moment but eerily similar

Nah, the big one be will north vs gws that night, assuming everything has gone to plan!

We need 7 results to go our way to make the finals. We can now tick one off!

Dees into 41-1 now to make the 8.

  • 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.
