    3. Must keep Viney healthy

    4. 5 teams can win the flag - Melbourne is one of them

    5. Outstanding coaching and confidence in trying new things. Expect something different pre-finals, if make it

    6. Jake Melksham just needs nothing to think about and let him play on auto pilot

    7. No. 1 pressure acts and contested possession team. No easy games for opposition

    8. Oliver operating at another/higher  level from last year

    Are the five teams Richmond, West Coast, Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide?

    I wouldn't rule out Port, Geelong, Hawthorn or even GWS completely. It is only May.

    The last point is an interesting one. Many others on here may instantly agree and seem obvious to them , I’m surprised that this is the case (can you detail Oliver’s stats please)- I assumed he had plateau - but then perhaps I’m merely expecting great sexy sublime things weekly now and my expectations have regressed to the mean.

    Talking football and Melbourne's success at the moment, with two supporters of other clubs,   they both know Gawn and Petracca   but both had no clue as to how good or quick Clarry is.  Just an interesting point I thought.

    Go Dees

    Omg we've played nobody yet. Can we beat a top 4 side before we talk about the F word?

    Champion data is getting a bit creepy.

    I'm not sure how they've obtained a data set on a player's neurological mind-state. Unless Saty is somehow involved.

    We beat top 4 sides last year and we didn't make the F word. This season can be different.  Start believing BB.

    A bit in here on the Demons and what we are up to as well as some background on what game day and opp analysts are getting up to....

    http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-03-22/bestlaid-plans-how-clubs-turn-tactics-into-triumph

    I like this comment. We rarely, if ever, talk about the importance of the players abilities to concentrate throughout the match. Aside from physically maturing into that 50-80 game player getting used to constantly being ‘on’ would also take time. 

    "One of the most underrated skills in AFL football now is a player's ability to concentrate for long periods, because the game never stops," Stone said. 

    "The whistle doesn't offer a pause, and the next thing is happening all the time – changing positional roles, momentum swings, rotations on and off the bench, and tactics. 

    "So a player's ability to sustain concentration is definitely an advantage … one mistake can fracture team defence, and it's the same with offence."

    You’d assume those are the 5. 

    Personally I’d have the other four well in front of us, until we show that we are capable of beating stronger sides than North.

    A bit of an eye opener for me also FND. Hopefully the raw passion & joy of just playing the game for the enjoyment factor hasn't been completely lost

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • 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?
