Run home to Finals - 2018


What

Recommended Posts

Well thats's one of the three we needed.

Way off a given that we can find the other two.

Need to play smart against GCS. Percentage is irrelevant (we are miles in front of everyone else) so a nice regulation 30 point win would be nice. Get a good break in Q1 and then just close out the game

I have us losing to GC next week, followed by a win over Sydney, loss to WCE and then losing to GWS in a thriller to miss the finals. Werd up? 

thank you Chookrat for your optimistic prediction.

Sadly we all know it could well turn out to be true ?

Could be either Rich v Melb week one

If that’s the case we should request the final to be played in Alice Springs. Carlton have won more games than Richmond interstate this season.

Why would you have us losing to West Coast? North today should that they are not any better than us! At least we have North’s measure in Tassie!?

West Coast were without Shuey and Kennedy today, I'm not sure how long they're out for? But they make a big difference to the way they play.

Shuey should be back next week, Kennedy will miss another week

None of the last 4 games should hold any fears for us.  We know we can match it with anyone, and if we continue to play at the level we have been, then there is absolutely no reason why we can't go extremely close to winning all of the last 4 games.

Hawks with a huge % boost today, and the Cats have two % booster games in Rounds 22 and 23 at home as the AFL continues to gift them a charity draw.

Our percentage is not looking like our saviour just yet...  we must annihilate the Suns to give us more breathing space.

we will have everyone except Lever by the time finals come around - if you dare to dream think about the Doggies 16 when they had been putrid but got all their players back to start the finals - there will be the week off as well so we should be cherry ripe for first week if we make it

If we can pull off all four we will play Richmond even 3 wins we will probably play them as well. I would love to have a crack we have the cattle to trouble them and could catch them off guard. Suddenly if you are in a home prelim anything is possible

I seriously think people like you should be banned from this site. Anyone talking about finals should eat their words. Apparently, last season wasn't a big enough example of people getting ahead of themselves. i still don't think we make finals, and that will stay that way until we actually make finals.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
