    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.

    • 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.
