Clean sweep all "five" anything can happen. 

 

Woulda got good price 2 years ago on Footscray/Richmond double. 

With the stage our list is at, if we do have the luck with your 5 we are in contention. Tigers and Bulldogs aren't that much better than we are.

Look gents, not trying to draw any attention at all to myself just trying to present what I believe to be a realistic ladder appraisal for 2018.

Only Demon Andrew and another I think saw fit to present an alternative!

I am as passionate as the next Demonlander but , I am heavily Scared and Scarred of another false dawn built around the coulda, woulda, shoulda, actualization of the club! 

Happy for other posters to post an alternate ladder!

Cheers

No mate you always try and fly under the radar, keeping your thoughts pretty level headed and delivered in a understated and  succinct way.

The OP doesn’t call for submissions- anyone posting their own ladder on the Fenceology thread would be deleted for not staying on topic.  This thread is all about you!

At the risk of getting my post deleted....

I think we will win it this year 'fence' but if we don't I still think I will be closer to the mark than you.

We once again will lose crunch games against inferior opposition and miss out.

 

 

Ouija Board says no!  But it has Pt Adelaide as 5th yet couldn't beat ANYONE last season and embarrassed themselves in the only final.

 

Seriously?

Sadly, I think you could be right. Losing games to crap sides has slaughtered Melbourne for years. The two worst examples being Carlton in 2006 and North in 2017.

Obviously last year is fresh in our memories after losing both games to North, who only won 6 games, and missing the finals by rock all. 2006 was even worse, when we lost both games to Carlton, who only won 4 games, and missed the top 4.

Unless we smarten up and learn how to combat zone footy, I can see us losing to Carlton, who play a super defensive zone, and North again.

How do we combat zone footy? Have Hogan/TMAC/Gawn this year making more of an impact with the pack/leading mark on the wing?

That is what Goodwin is paid for... no finals = new coach

There is no question he has the cattle and this year there are no excuses.

Im worried about Essenscum.

If they finish below us we will be in the top 4

I also rate their list. Their midfield might not be as deep as ours, but it is chock full of elite talent. Reckon Daniher will win the Coleman in 2018 too.

whoops!

i really didn't think we were going to get there; after that run of losses following the amazing run of easybeat wins, i said if we didn't win all three against the aints, shockers, and footscray, that we wouldn't make it

we are, however, the road warriors :)

now we just need to learn to win at home!

Proof positive that 'predictions' are an absolute waste of time.  Often they make you look like tool.  These two posts are above are exhibits A and B.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
