The Melbourne thing to do would be win the next 9 on the trot then lose R23 to North to fall short on %age.

Mathematically yes. Realistically no.

The first half of the season puts paid to predictions such as what were made at the start of the year so the idea of going off the first half of the season to draw your conclusion about the second half is folly.  Whilst I doubt we will make the eight I do think that this is not a rational thing and a couple of wins could put us on a winning streak.  We have our injured players back and the run home does look a bit more doable.  Reach the eight and it is game-on

Ah, bugger it. I’m on at $21 to make the 8. Not sure about the $251 for the flag though. We were $501 last night. Did the plunge come from here?

Might have been my 3 bucks each way that tipped the scales

was wondering when we were going to morph into discussing our flag chances for 2019.

Just about to book a trip for warmer climes during finals time. Do you guys think I should hold off?

The club should be doing whatever it takes to best prepare the team for fitness, list management and gameplan for 2020.

The Club should be asking those who are still on the park to show some grit, endeavour and pride

The rest will take care of itself

Our previous 'list management' practices turned out realllyyy well......

There's precedence to such spectacular crashes the following year. 

Fremantle went from being 16-2 after round 19 2015, to going 4-18 the next year. They finished 16th in 2016 but one of those sides below them was a VFL side (who incidentally beat our senior side in 2016).

If things go south for us over the next fortnight I'm expecting a "will we win another game" thread pop up.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    TRAINING: Wednesday 11th December 2024

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
