Thoughts on Sydney?

Sitting on 11 wins and play ESS (A) COLL (H) MELB (A) GWS(A) HAW (H)

I think their run is tough and they're a risk of falling out of 8

Oh hell. Oh hell. My brain just broke.

I looked across some more fixtures and have to say it -  There is a real possibility that at the end of the season there could be 6 teams on 14 wins, stretching from 3rd to 8th. A slim chance, but a chance.

It is conceivable, just barely conceivable, than in round 23, the Demons and Giants will be playing for a top-4 spot for the winner and 9th for the loser.

Now that it has been shown possible, I feel it is inevitable.

so we win 4 out of 5....as the great man Kerrigan said..... "Tell em they're dreaming"

Win against Adelaide and we will make it. 

Lose against them and we are very long odds

 

so like I know the crows are in form etc and at their shithole but like we did kinda beat them by 2934823984 points about 8 weeks ago. Like surely we are a chance guys - I think we will win Adelaide / GC and one of the other games not sure which hopefully Sydney but its all still doable - I rate the Adelaide game a better chance than SYD / GWS / WC for sure

Lets have a friendly wager. Winner chooses loser's avatar until the eve of round one next year.

Good bet for you given your confidence 

haha deal. i'll cyber shake to that binman :)

i obviously hope i'm wrong but i'm quite confident. just like i was with watts saying that pick 31 would be better and watts will be dropped mid season. could a person be any more correct on a given issue? lol

Haha, excellent wager!

As for trying to predict the run home, I reckon anyone who started predicting this just two weeks ago has already been blown out of the water.

@Little Goffy Your brain will break further if you ponder on the fact that if we go into that game 2/4 and GWS are 4/4, then they will probably be locked in 4th and will undoubtedly rest/play bruise free footy and we'll probably finish 6th or so with a win. I kind of think that is a safer option than battling for top 4 and missing out on finals if we lose which is absurd.

                            Melb        WC

Inside 50s          85            35

Free kicks           8             27

Goals kicked      12           18

Spot on!

Can someone please tell me when the Round 23 fixture is finalised?

There's been a push for whoever's the higher finisher to have 'earnt' a home final.

..and that explains why the White Brethren have done so much to influence game outcomes this year ...

Amazingly accurate, just calculated the same result : WC 108pts, MELB 70pts.

My crystal ball then enabled me to analyse the number of queries raised on the umpiring errors. No. of Queries: Nil.

Next week, probably early.

AFL website are guessing we've got the Saturday arvo timeslot.

But given we're coming back from Perth, surely the league would give us Sunday to enjoy the extra day's break??

We will beat suns and maybe swans, lose the rest. No finals.

The Swans are likely to beat ess...also a good show to take care of the pies...esp if pies have a hard game against toiges

It's kinda the butterfly effect...they'll be on a roll looking to cement a top 4 possie...when they meet.....us.

The Swans I sense is our most 'dangerous ' game after the Crows. If we sink in the pea soup tomorrow I'm not game to look too far ahead anymore.

And there really is a tooth fairy.

Assuming neither GWS nor Melbourne bomb out in the next few weeks, surely GWS V Melbourne will be the final game of the home and away season. It could completely reshape the final 8 and would have the fans of as many as five or six clubs all watching riveted.

I know it’s probably an obvious thing to say but I really feel like we are one big win away from this team kicking into the next gear. And I don’t mean big win in terms of margin against a lower team I mean getting a win against a contender that will give the players the confidence in themselves and each other. 

I’ve still become pragmatic about this season (I guess it’s MFCSS) but it does still keep that little spark in my heart alive!

Agreed. But it will take a huge effort to win THAT game

Do they have strength to do it this year???

I actually think they’ve got that and more inside them, it’s all mental barriers now. Whether they can break through those barriers this year remains to be seen. I think they are haunted by past demons (no pun intended) dating back to times they weren’t even alive. Because they shoulder the hopes and dreams of a club thats been struggling in the wilderness for so long and laughed at by the competition (and continues to be laughed at) they have to overcome those issues as well as their own. 

But Richmond did it last year, and I honestly feel like we can do it this year (though not to their achievements).

Agree and there’s a few of those coming up, WCE, SYD and GWS.

Can you please inform me of tonight's lotto numbers? I need to know which ones NOT to play...

I'd love to win tonight to both strengthen our chances, and also significantly dent a "resurging" Adelaide's chances. Sydney is absolutely gifting us a home final, if we'd beaten St Kilda and Geelong like we should have we'd be a lock for at least 6th.

The problem with Adelaide, Sydney and WC is their tall forwards. I'd much rather be playing Richmond, Collingwood and Port again in these final 5 weeks because we match up better with them with both Hibberd and Lever out, and I'd fancy our chances more against them than the aforementioned. Given our outs, we are coming up against the worst possible teams. Just our luck.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
