    At our best we can deep, I have wins v Frem and GC, outside of that are 50/50. I really hope we can turn it around from here.

    Brisbane to win more games than us from here? 

    So glad they recently opened a Sporting Globe Bar & Grill 5 minutes up the road. Membership to good use then.

    Am a big fan of Brisbane and what they're doing, Hodge is helping them immensely. 1 I picked was an upset who I think they match up well with.

    13 wins + high percentage will see a team/s scrape into the 8. 14 wins should be a definite place.

    We need to win another 5 games to be any chance. I can't see this happening with our run home. We really screwed up against the Saints on the weekend and they only have themselves to blame.

    How much do they want to play finals? We're about to find out.

    Freo = Win

    Dogs = 50/50 (Win)

    Cats = L

    Adel = 50/50 (L)

    Suns = Win

    Swans = 50/50 (L)

    Eagles = L

    Giants = 50/50 (Win)

    No knock on your opinion Febes, picturing that ladder  if your close with it gives me nightmares.

    Hodge has signed one more year with the Lions i believe?

    What's that 9-12? I'm missing one somewhere but it's academic.

    Please enjoy

     

    It's a game of margins people, a game of margins! And learnings! So many learnings. Tremendous number of learnings. I knew a Learnings once, great guy, tremendous guy. Whole lotta guy. He knew another guy, Bumps, who lived on The Road. Bumps on the Road and Learnings. Going to be a whole lotta tremendous Learnings, Margins and Bumps on the Road.

    Give me strength.

    All good mate, as we know the ladder predictor means nothing, just a bit of fun and a guide, changes weekly. I hope I'm wrong.

    Didn't know Hodge signed on again? Would have loved him at the Dees instead of Lewis. I do think we need to turn over our oldies with guys from successful clubs in the 28-30 bracket.

    On current form and on the past two seasons post Darwin form, predictions of only two more wins looks very sound. Too bad we are not allowed to concede, but resting up to 10 players for Darwin  looks like a viable but insanely gutsy strategy for the big picture if we could get away with it.

    All things going well we will finish 6th and snag a home final. Here’s hoping!

    Picks really do need a protection caveat. Like top 10 protected  (we keep it if it's top 10 and the following year's pick goes to the Crows or until a pick falls outside the top 10).

    I still think if we win 12 games we’ll make it on %

    It's my considered thinking if we were to only have won 12...and somehow had enough % ...then...I personally doubt we'd be in the eight. If were... we'd be turfed quickly. 

    I think it's a min of 13.. including two decent scalps otherwise they'll only best us again.

    14 wins.. we have a shot. Just my thoughts

    We will beat Geelong and Sydney. Buckle up the dees will hit their straps. I still think Goodwin is playing ducks and drakes!

    Well he ducked when he should have Draked against the Saints, Port & Cats those three losses by a combined 15 points hurt!

    Still we’ve got to step up and win four more, we are doing a lot right, just need a few things to happen:

    - minor improvement going into forward 50

    - back six stay a bit deeper, with a player almost being a goalkeeper in the square (like the Tigers)

    - increase two way particular defensive running, so don’t get carved down the wings with teams on a break

    We do the above and we win four plus of the last seven.

    Go Dees!

    Using ladder predictor the 2 MUST WIN matches that will assure us a place in finals (5th) are beating the Crows in Adelaide and the Swans at the G.  Both matches effectively 8 point games for us (and them) given where the clubs are presently positioned.

    Drop either of those and we are more than likely toast.

    Beating the Cats against the odds next week would mean only having to snatch one of the above however.

    Can’t see us winning both unfortunately. I think we will finish 9th or 10th. The loss to the saints etc are going to prove costly once again.

    I now have 9th, need a good string of form, the Port and STK losses are going to be costly unless we have some upsets on the way home.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
