Tipping those that can keep our competitors for finals out of the 8 or within striking range to overtake their spot in the 8.

  • Sydney 
  • North
  • Dees
  • Crows 
  • Freo
  • Saints
  • Hawks
  • Rich

Underlined are unlikely but it is good to dream :cool:

    Unfortunately the Giants and dogs have easy games.

    Such a big game against the the Pies!

    I would call it an 8 pointer but it's still just played for 4 points

    That Essendon draw did us no good at all.

    Had Essendon lost it would have opened up 2 spots in the 8 for us to take...Pies and Saints with both Bombers and Suns trailing us.

    Bombers beating the Saints is good but it gives the Bombers a big leg up. If Saints win it gets harder to take their spot.

    Lose to Collingwood and we will be well out of the 8.

    Looking increasingly likely we will need ten wins to make the 8 which is probably at least one win too many for us.

    LH I believe a Blues win is best for us as it puts to bed any chance of Freo making the 8 and we are yet to play them

    GWS are vulnerable but hard to see them losing to the Swans

    I chose Freo as their % is really poor and they would have to win an extra game to overtake us (unless we lose a few by a long margin).

     

    As an aside, I feel time is starting to run out for teams that have played 11 games and still outside the 8 (or in the lower part of the 8).  I think we (and some other teams) have a real advantage over them.  Use Bulldogs as an example:  Assume 10 games needed to make finals:  Bulldogs (on 5 wins from 11 games) need to win 5 from remaining 6 games.  Whereas Demons (on 5 wins from 10 games) need to win 5 from remaining 7 games.  Same logic applies to teams at the lower end of the 8.  Maybe the Ess forced bye may come back and help us...

    We could be in the 8 on Sat night if we win!

    GWS looks like us at our worst.

    Tonnes of inside 50s but cannot score, and conceding far too easily out the back.

    Sydney winning is a great result for us if we are genuine about our finals chances.

    Biggest upset of the year. Giants are full of guns. Swans missing many top players. 
     

    the 8 is open!

    Well one things for sure out of that game....

    There's  a coach more under pressure than Goodwin

    Atrocious performance by a highly skilled side

    GWS is missing Greene and Davis, but yes, with Sydney missing Franklin, Kennedy and Heeney, this is a major upset.

    Holy [censored].. GWS dropping this game and by a big percentage means that this game is a HUGE must win game.

    Its simple, we beat Collingwood, we go to 8th spot.

    C'mon Dees let's dare to dream!

    A win doesn't guarantee us a spot in the 8 - if Essendon beat St Kilda they'll take it and we'll stay 9th (with GWS 10th).

    Doesn't change the fact that this game for us this weekend is huge.

    Hmmm. When was the last time we had such a massive game with a lot riding on it against Collingwood...?

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
