Brisbane look switched on but it is early. They have to learn to kick straighter.

    You know teams can win from outside the top 4 now, don’t you? 

    Besides, you’re dreaming if you think we could finish top 2. West Coast play Brisbane in round 23. It was never going to happen. 

    I want to make the 8. That is first and foremost. The rest we can worry about later. 

    Exactly this, thank you. People are being delusional if they don't think 1st and 2nd are locked in at this point. [censored] top 4 aspirations; our season is still on a knife's edge until we get to 13 wins. That's my only consideration right now and I think people are getting way ahead of themselves worrying about top 2. Less teams in contention for the top 8 is a fantastic outcome when there's 11 still in the hunt with 2.5 rounds to go.

    Ok, I'm just going to forget all about wanting certainties and slots and start hoping for whatever the most EPIC results would be.

    Obviously that still means Melbourne beating Sydney, because it makes both our remaining games EPIC clashes in the top 4.

    Brisbane still should do football a favour and beat Collingwood, so the Magpies can cr4p their pants for a couple more weeks.

    And I think what this round really needs is a draw. Adelaide v Giants should do the trick. Keeps Adelaide mathematically in the race (as one of their wins was needed just to get over their gobshite percentage) and actually just close to nothing to help the Giants, since they already have a draw and their percentage is below every other team competing for top 4.

    And for a laugh, right at this moment the Lions are ahead of the Magpies, and the Crows-Giants are clearly set on a wild ride to a draw. :D

    In a mens team I mean.

    Some of us remember winning 7/8 in 2000 and moving all the way up to 3rd as Geelong and the Kangas fell below us and that amazing feeling of everything going right at the right time. That's why I always have my eyes firmly planted on a highest ladder position possible and am gunning for 3 wins. More so in this case, because we wouldn't have to rely on any other result once Port beat WCE. 2nd was ours with 3 wins. I don't work for MFC so getting ahead of myself has no repercussions.

    Seriously, how can people be so clueless.

    WC and Brisbane were irrelevant if WC lost today, a WC loss meant if we win our last three games we would have finished second. It really isn’t complicated!

     

    And you do realise that a team that finishes 2nd is a better chance than one from outside the top 4 (or even a team that finishes third) - can you grasp that or do you also need it explained to you?

    Your opponents in this matter point out that a team that finishes 9th has zero chance.

    What are the chances we win all 3? A lot lower than us dropping 1 or 2 of the next 3, that’s what. 

    So I’ll take the safe option of making the 8, than the wet dream of finishing 2nd. 

    You can’t win anything if you don’t make finals.

    I think that playing our best football, we can easily win all 3.

    Clueless? How about 'realists'? Hell of a lot more concerned about results going our way to ensure we make the top 8, rather than some farfetched wet dream of finishing top 2, which assumes such laughable outcomes as us winning all 3 final matches (after not beating a single team in the top 8 all season) and West Coast (2nd on the ladder) losing to Brisbane.

    The dream of top 2 was [censored] down the drain when we blew 3 winnable games by under a goal. Our focus should be on finals and that means results which hurt all the teams beneath us.

    Yeah, really far fetched beating an average Sydney, WCE missing 2 or 3 best players and GWS at home.

    Unbelievable how little it takes for so many to be satisfied....

    by you theory, we are no chance in the finals, as we can’t beat top 8 teams.

    Play with yourself at the prospect of making the 8 mate, I am only interested in one result

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
