Can we still make the 8?

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......

    how on earth are we $21 to make the 8?! 

    should be $501

    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.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
