My first thought was just a simple 'nope', it doesn't seem credible at all. Certainly from our perspective, where winning only two of the final 6 rounds would feel like failure almost regardless of fi

13 will get you in. 12 and a draw may just be enough also. I think we're cooked and won't make it anyway.

I've a shockingly innovative idea I hope you will all share a favourable amount of zest with me for. Win games. Disregard falling into the 8. All else is irrelevant.

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.

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.

    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?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
