Reverend have you spoken to the one on high?

I think he has spoken to the high one, OD.

I really find it hard to see us winning 13 games to ensure a finals birth.

Realistically, we'd have to:

Go 9-3 at the MCG (no more silly losses to Carlton, Port etc...)

Go 2-2 at Etihad (good luck beating 2 of Essendon, St Kilda and Geelong at our hell hole)

Go 2-4 interstate (bloody tough assignments against West Coast, Adelaide x2, GWS and North in Tassie where they are near dominate)

 

 

No reason we can't...

We have a very good well balanced list...

unless we have some real injury problems then I think we would have underachieved if we don't make finals in 2017...

It's the least they could do really. I'm sure there's enough left over in the donation kitty. 

I have a slight dilemma though. My first born is due September 7, the first week of finals. If this isn't a sign we're going to make them, I don't know what is. 

Skyping of births seems the in-thing to do these days. 

At least there'll be plenty of us to watch it with you.

I think some people have forgotten how close we were before we dropped our bundle last year.

If Macca reckons they're focused on building mental toughness + focusing on skills (kicking both sides) + some good recruiting + more experience for the young guns now, I'd be disappointed if we're not in the 8 next September

So you will be happy with one win for 2017?

Sounds like very low expectations to me.

I want to win every game as much as the next person but if we lose round 1 it wont be the end of the world. In fact a loss to a team of simmilar quality could be a good wake up call right at the start of the year. But if we lose round 1 and 2 then it will be time to start panicking because beating Geelong in round 3 will be no easy feat. Its being 0-3 that worries me. We are starting against 3 bogey teams since 2008 we are 2-32 against these 3.

This is the year to put the Etihad ghost or devil to rest. Please let it be. Please God, please. Let this place be heaven and not hell. And I will be a believer once again.

Our problem Ernest is the Saints have been putting the Demons to rest for some time with Gods assistance.

Our best chance is if God stays out of matters.

Very good point OD, God is definitely not a supporter. But it is time to exorcise the evil spirits from that place.

You have my vote jr.

It astounds me how he is allowed just run around with no one closer than 20 meters.

One game last year  for a quarter they had Jetta on him which must have been the mismatch of the 21st century.

Does God really take things so literally??? If so then have the AFL schedule the Saints V North on Good Friday...conundrum for God to vex upon!

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • PREGAME: Fremantle

    After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
