Great post.

Agree with others above re: what we will do.

Likely:

Collingwood - Win / Port (Away) - Loss/ Saints - Win / Freo  - Win / Dogs - Win / Cats (away) - Loss / Crows - (Away) Loss / Suns - Win / Swans - Loss /  Eagles (away) - Loss / Giants  - Win

But the way we're playing, it could very very feasibly be as below - remembering we stole the WCE win at Subiaco last year and flogged the Crows at AA and we're a better team this year (even without Lever).

Collingwood - Win / Port (Away) - WIN / Saints - Win / Freo  - Win / Dogs - Win / Cats (away) - Loss / Crows - (Away) WIN / Suns - Win / Swans - WIN (yes, this could happen) /  Eagles (away) - Loss / Giants  - Win

Of course, as MFC supporters with MFCSS we know it could easily go like this

Collingwood - Loss/ Port (Away) - Loss / Saints - Loss / Freo  - Loss / Dogs - Loss / Cats (away) - Loss / Crows - (Away) Loss / Suns - Loss (by 100 points) / Swans - Loss /  Eagles (away) - Loss / Giants  - Loss

    I’m glad we have a tough run home. If we are a serious finals chance, then I’d prefer we are exposed to other finalists than teams on the bottom half of the ladder; better than going in feeling too comfortable after a few more thrashing’s of also-rans.

    We might scrape into 4th if we can maintain healthy percentage.

    If not we finish 5th or 6th

    Any chance we could have that home final at Etihad? We're flying there this year ?

     

    I kid of course.

    Our run home will be a huge test from an injury perspective. We’ll get to the point where we’re fighting hard against strong opponents and it’s likely that in that fight we’ll inevitably get one or two players out for some time. If anything, this should drive our 2’s players pushing up for selection. But I must admit it does worry me..

    The run home looks fairly even for all the top clubs except the Dorks. They must have the easiest draw for the season, rarely travel to foreign territory, take the interstaters down to Tassie, play the rest at the Gee. So I am guessing we can expect them to finish around 4 to 6 and again be a good chance in a very even season.

    4th would be lovely. We still have some unfinished business against West Coast from 1994, well I do. :laugh:

    Winning these early season games and building percentage has been crucial because of what is to come, not just the opponents but the travel.

    We still need to win 5 games to ensure we make the top 8. Top 4 will take additional effort on top.

    Hawthorn has a great run home so will challenge one of the current top 8 for their spot. Let's hope we win the games we should win so that it's not us who comes under pressure.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
