Industry funds have that clause to avoid class actions for poor future performance, not because its true,  but history is an indicator of behaviours. 

1929, 1987, 2008,  etc.

So when you say,   "Across the last 20 seasons the 8 does not alter after round 9"   that means I can expect you to make statements with no basis in facts again. Thanks for the clarification.

Some of us fess up when proven wrong. I thought Gysberts & Watts would be superstars.

    This is the highest we have been on the ladder at this point (end of Round 8 ) since 2006.

    I should have added a single word ' generally' in that above sentence to illustrate the trend. using other words I thought covered this as a predictor that is not perfect, impacts of drafts etc, but there you go.

    Your latest post relates to the above industry fund comment how?  or are you struck on the original issue?

    Don't bother replying these are rhetorical questions only.

    I love Mansfield BTW so think I  might buy a house up there.

    Generally sides in the 8 make the 8 is a bit of a motherhood statement, but I accept what you are saying. Generally 25% of sides in the 8 at round 9 don't make the final 8. Personally I hope that that is Adelaide & Hawthorn out for North & the Doggies but who knows.

    This year we may have struck it lucky in that two of the teams we play twice are the Saints and the Suns. We also have the Dogs twice which if we are trending we should win. That by itself is 6 wins.

    The other two are Geelong (next time at the cattery) and Adelaide (once in Alice and once in Adelaide).

    Freo at Darwin instead of the MCG turns what should have been a 70/30 game into a 50/50 game of Fyfe remains on song.

    Other than the obvious of winning everything I am more interested in how we can make top 4. I suspect we missed that chance with not winning one of our 50/50 games so far this year. Our opponents for that 4th spot are Hawthorn, Geelong, Swans , Adelaide and Port so watching how these teams go over the next few weeks becomes important. Adelaide playing Port twice makes for a plus for us .. I think.

    yes, i did think of the adelaide game last year too.. and the west coast one with t-mac's goal. just not sure that this current style will win the big games? i am a little worried.. i was at the hawks game too. when oliver pirouhetted around 3-4 hawks with a sublime handpass and oliver got crunched by rioli.. great game. still the best i've attended, i agree. and it was the sam weideman's first too! yeah yeah... i'll believe it when they start to convert all these inside 50's ?

    After witnessing Melbourne's demolition of Carlton today I am increasingly becoming bullish. Rocky, do you still think that your "not sure this current style will win big games"? like the one against Adelaide next week...I think we'll smash 'em.

    i am in amsterdam at the moment and have been very good and not watched the game yet (waiting for the girlfriend to finish work). i've read all about it, but not even seen the highlights.. so, with this knowledge, it clearly seemed about as comprehensive as we've played as a team. no stand outs, which is awesome. i mean, the game plan is what the players have been taught and its now ingrained, so we'll be persisting with it no matter what i'd suggest (at least this year). very, very interested to see how we go against a team with decent mid's, competitive talls and speed (hi crows!). might fall back into that old over handball thang we like to do? we'll see. i'm stoked they won obviously, but cautious and far from bullish. i wouldn't criticize anyone else from being that though :)

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
