Well you can lock Hawthorn in for another finals spot. Such an easy run home.  

Geelong as usual with two gifts in the final two rounds - at home to Freo and  Gold Coast.

The AFL really love to look after the Cats and Hawks.  Sickening.

    Hmmm.

    Chokes.

    The MFC

    Hmmmm

    ?

    I know but can't we just dream of playing in September for once instead of just assuming the absolute worst is going to happen (again)!?

    The Swans suddenly looking vulnerable. 

    And we play them in round 21...  the stakes will be huge.

    Its well overdue, a serious ravalry/hatred between Melbourne and Sydney

    Potential that has just sat here, both clubs have never really pursued it hard, maybe we were just not strong enough before. 

    Everything else between Melbourne and Sydney is dead serious

    Step up Demons. Create another Marquee game. 

    Use our name

    The obvious answer is YES.

    However the MFC has such a long tradition of failure it is very difficult to not expect the worst.

    Sad? Yes but understandable.

    I was 17 when I saw us win our Grand Final in 1964.

    I didn't think I'd reach 71 without us winning another!

    The EH Holden had just been released along with “A Hard Day’s Night”

    and some people call me impatient for some real success

    We can tell.

    Me? I was a spritely teen the last time the dees played finals. Now I'm staring down the barrel of 30 and I still hold that Chopper Carroll takedown on Fraser Gherig as my most loved footy moment.

    Same same. Was with the cheer squad in "T" section and lost my voice for quite a while after the match. Stayed at the G overnight and got home late Sunday.

    30 was a good year. They went fast after 30 though, be ready. 

    The only constant each year has been the failing of the MFC, with some different excuse!!!! :)

    You could stay inside the stadium back then or did they shunt you into the carpark?

    my dad and his mates would often end up at one of the players houses after a GF and literally go from house to house for about 5 days!

    I have us playing the Hawks (6v7) if we can snag one against Geelong (And of course beat WB/GCS/ADEL/GWS)

    Can't wait to get one back against that mullet haired Stratton [censored].

    Ben McEvoy out for at six weeks with a fractured cheek bone. Won’t help the Hawks chances.

    I think we are roughly the same age. To me your not being impatient it is just the reality.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
