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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
