Is this 1987 all over again?

Featured Replies

Not a snowflakes chance in hell we will make finals this year.

I do believe we will next year if we recruit well and get rid of around 6 to nine players.

Too many losses and injuries under the bridge.

We will refine our plan and list. Reset with the talent we have and its quite a lot.

Hopefully pick up a star ff .

I reckon more like 1999, of an amazing 1998 making a prelim 1999 we won 6 games, injuries and a changing of the guard with a few old blokes coming to an end.  12 months later we played of in a grand final.

I'm not sure if that means Oliver will win the Brownlow in 2020 or Brayshaw with a bleached mop ?

Our percentage reminds me of 1997..... I shudder at the memories of 1997. Honestly we are not playing finals this season, our percentage is diabolical.

It's remarkable that after such a poor start to the season we're one game off 9th ...

... and percentage. That's the big worry.

I think we're a really good chance to win the next couple and then things suddenly look a lot different going into the Pies game, but I don't see us beating the Crows by 90 odd as we did last year

Chunk?

So long as Maxy doesn't have a Jimmy moment and run over/though the mark.

My old man recons we would have beaten Carlton in the GF.

I'm in favor of '87 with at twist' !!

Pretty hard to believe we made the finals that year considering we lost to a horrid St Kilda by 46 point in round 17 at Moorabbin to take us to a struggling 7-10.

Does anybody remember that game? I'm guessing those that went would have gone home dejected and wondering if we'd ever make finals again in their life time.

We had an easy MCG kill against the Bears the following week and never looked back until the prelim.

If we're 5-7 after Collingwood, then I think another 1987 could be on the cards for sure.

Yes, if we get to 5-7 , I did the ladder predictor, and we finished 6th. Fingers crossed.

I did the ladder predictor and had us finishing 10th at the end of the season.

In my generous predictions we finished 12 wins -10 losses.

12-10 could get let you finish 7th or 8th... if your percentage is worthy. Our percentage is horrible and will prevent us playing finals even if we string wins together. We’d have to roll teams like Pies and Eagles on top of winning all the other “easier” matches.

It’s not our year unfortunately.


I think this year is resembling this year.

Your old man is dead set kidding himself. We'd have struggled to field a competitive side in the gf. Flower, Wilson & Dean are just a few of those who'd have struggled to come up. That PF against the Hawks was brutal

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
