Fox Footy Ladder Range Predictor

MELBOURNE

The Demons made it all the way to the Preliminary Final in 2018 before being thumped by the eventual premiers. However, with one of the greatest players in the competition at their disposal, Max Gawn’s ruck dominance could well help the club push into the top two. Fox Footy analyst David King is among those who believe the new rules could help the Demons dominate and if Clayton Oliver has yet another dominant season, all signs point to improvement from Melbourne.

Range: 1-5

    uncanny - i'd be thinking 100% of people who care for football would be doing this also.

    Three teams ranked as 1-5.

    MFC, Richmond and WCE.

    Boy we are in rarified company.

    Could this be it guys ? ... nervous just thinking about it

    The first three games will be crucial. Port, Geelong and Essendon. We are favourites in all three and need to win them. Last year we would have said they are 50/50 games but this year they are more like 60/40

    I was surprised that Collingwood was only rated 2-5.

    I said it last night on the podcast that never in my life have we had so much hype surrounding us. Never have 9 out of 22 herald sun "expert" had us for premiers. Almost all had us as Top 4. That is unheard of. Dare to dream.

    Not to be the voice of doom but the last 3 years the majority of pundits have had GWS as flag favourites and they haven’t even made a GF yet...

    ...and if we loose 2 out of the first 3 games just watch all those so called 'footy experts' do a 180 and start asking "maybe we have all overrated Melbourne on the back of their finish to last year, because the way they are playing right now, forget top 4, they will be lucky to make the finals" ...which will all still just be as Goody and @In Harmes Way suggest 'Fugazi'. Demonland would go into a total melt down of negativity as well.  That's the delayed onset MFCSS in me.

    That all said, I will be so totally stoked if we have a dream start to the season and give ourselves a great platform from which to solidify a top 2 - 4 position over the rest of the season in a manner like West Coast did last year.  The has been one or two occations that I recall in my lifetime which the MFC had a good start to the season and we're sitting on top of the ladder after half a dozen games or so - gee that was a nice feeling at the time.

    Must say I like the approach of this article in predicting ranges where they think teams will end up.  So much can happen during the course of the season, that only fools would think they could pick the exact ladder position that most teams could finish.  The safest bet would probably have been for GC and Carlton to finish last and second last, but right no, St Kilda look like they might even enter that mix as well.

    Last year had to explain to a Chinese friend what "keeping a lid on it" meant. He's a mad Collingwood supporter. ( I know, that's a whole other story). Mind you, he didn't know what "Colliwobbles" was either. Happy to explain that to him! Had to remind him about keeping a lid on it recently. Just not comfortable being one of the favourites!

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
