Don't know if it makes you feel any better but Zach Tuohy took that mark 7 seconds before the siren went, not one second. So we'll miss the finals by 7 seconds...

Thanks. Perhaps we won't then hold that particular record, then. And I don't feel any better.

    And I also think the TAB are high with installing us $1.65 favorites to beat the hottest side in the league next week.

    I noted that... obviously numbers are back to front ?

    The odds don't reflect the probabilities. It's just the TAB protecting themselves from plunges made by Demons fans pushed to the edge of sanity

    It's actually 4 games which makes it seriously unlikely we'll be limping into finals with 12 wins.

    1. Richmond beating Essendon

    2. Collingwood beating Port

    3. Adelaide beating North

    4. Essendon beating Port.

     

    I can see all 4 of those falling out way. First 3 pretty likely, last one iffy.

    Then again, in typical Melbourne style, the Bombers will beat the Tigers kicking off Leg 1 of the Circus Melbourne show, no doubt.

    It's becoming glaringly obvious that it will come down to us having to beat GWS by 35 points to make it. We will then win by 30 points with a behind after the siren, having led by 66 points during the 3rd quarter

    And it will be JFK of all players that will be responsible for that behind. Can see it now.

    I'm assuming you're accounting for Geelong beating Gold Coast by 160 points and Port winning both games. I am.

    Why not? Why save all the fun of round 23 miss-the-finals calamities to ourselves.

    Richmond missing Cotchin, Prestia, Astbury, Butler and Lambert.

    Looks like the first leg won't even stand up.

    Though Richmond supporters will claim they finally have injuries...(in a dead rubber game for them)

    The real comedy for me is that there is the possibility of missing finals by the smallest margin of percentage ever in 2017, and then improving our percentage dramtically with the same number of wins, but still missing finals. Oooh, a draw (of no value at all given our percentage) would just make it true poetry.

    No. I can't accept it. We will win a game. We just will.

    How will our % come in to the equation. At this stage 13 wins and a % of over 115% is a certainty

    Of course, if we do beat the Eagles, there will be claims that the Eagles tanked deliberately to keep us in the finals race on the basis of the common belief that we couldn't actually beat another team in the 8 if that team was actually trying.

    Nah it will be they had their 3 best players out, Gaff, KittyKat and Kennedy.

    If port and Geelong win both games we are competing with Geelong's %.

    A 20 point win in either of our game and a 20 point loss in either of our games and then Geelong winning by 80 and 100 has us missing by .2%

    Geelong will get us on %.

    I can't see them losing to GC by less than 130 and Freo by 50.

    This of course assumes we win 1 and lose 1. High confidence level we lose both.

    Geelong will get Port on % not us. Means we'd finish 8th and they'd finish 7th if you are thinking they roll GC by 130. I am not sure I follow the argument. If we win one match and Essendon win both, their percentage is not about to jump 20 percent ... one of port or essendon lose the last match. so if it is Port, assuming they lose this week, it is their spot that is up for grabs.

    Most of the journos don't bother watching our games but they'll look at our stats before pumping us up in their clueless articles.

    But we've made humiliating capitulations an artform over the years so I'm expecting more of the same.

    I’ve been trying hard not to take much notice of the competition and just focus on us but I finally succumbed and checked out the ladder with the other teams we’re fighting for spots with. 

    Geelong won’t lose to both Freo and GC at home and I feel it’s very unlikely Port will lose to Essendon at home particularly if they need to win to keep playing finals therefor it’s simple. We have to win one of these games. 

    I don’t care what our final position is, I just want us to get one of these scalps to get into the finals. 

    Just do it Dees, finally stand up and play do it for your long suffering fans.

    Just imagine if, in round 23, our 160th celebration and "Members Appreciation round", during which we will be wearing a guernsey with members names on it, we lose against GWS, after losing to WC, and miss finals.

    Not sure who is in charge in their PR department, nor who is there to assess brand risk, but it was a terrible oversight to schedule that initiative in for round 23.

    Our onfield capitulations are one thing. Sometimes I am rather astonished at how dense the club's marketing and media department can be. (for the record though I think they do a wonderful job most of the time, but this was a bad idea).

    Who gives a flying fork what might happen?  Just support your team and stop speculating. Regardless of what you say, do or think, it’s out of your control. What happens, happens. Enjoy the ride. 

    Fair dinkum, some of you blokes must still sleep with the light on.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
