    Fully expecting to beat the Crows but have promised myself not to lose faith if we lose (as long as its close and we fight hard).

    We will [censored] Gold Coast the week after and still be in a good position with 3 games left.

    Melbourne vs Sydney in Round 21 is going to be huge, and I reckon the Dees will smash them.

    We will play finals with 12 wins if the following happens due to our excellent percentage. None of these results are outrageous either:

    ADELAIDE (12 wins):

    Melbourne  W

    Port   L

    GWS  L

    North  W

    Carlt  W

    ESSENDON (12 wins)

    Sydney  W

    Hawks  W

    St Kilda  W

    Richmond  L

    Port   L

    HAWTHORN (12  wins)

    Freo  W

    Essendon  L

    Geelong   L

    St Kilda  W

    Sydney   L

    NORTH MELB (12 Wins)

    West Coast  L

    Brisbane   W

    WB  W

    Adelaide  L

    St Kilda  W

    Two much less likely outcomes, but worth considering, are Port and Sydney only getting to 12 wins.

    Port has the Dogs (Ballarat), Adelaide, West Coast, Collingwood (MCG), Essendon. Is it possible for them to only go 1-4 through that (i.e. beat the Dogs but lose the last four, or even better get upset by the Dogs and then still need to find a win in that last month)?

    Sydney has Essendon (away), Collingwood (home), us, GWS (away), Hawthorn (home). Will they do better than 1-4 from that lot, given their struggles at the SCG and the improved form of Essendon?

    These two sides' struggles really just make our two Geelong losses sting because with those, we'd be in pole position to finish in the top 4.

    I’m just mad that we find ourselves in this position. Again. 

    The next 5 weeks are going to be excruciating. I do not want round 23 to be do or die again. My mental health could not take it!

    Watch us beat Adelaide then let it all unravel and we lose to GC

    The GC game is too early for it to unravel and really hurt.

    Watch us go into the GWS game needing a win to make finals...

    While 12 might get you in, would need to be very very lucky. We aren’t!

    We are going to need 13 wins plus our strong percentage!

    We have to win those 3 games. It's looking more unlikely by the week that we will beat GWS especially when they get Cameron back.

    I will be happy with sneaking into 8th spot.  A fresh Jack Viney back for the Elimination final.

    Anyone who says theres no point sneaking into the 8 is a fool.   Anything can happen in the finals, just look at the 2016 Doggies. And the experience of the build up to the game would be invaluable for our developing squad.

    Anything can happen if you win 15 games (16 if you count tanking in r23 v Freo) in the regular season.

    Though with the Doggy analogy, realistically I think sneaking in will hold us in good stead for the following year like it may have done for them.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
