Great.

The heart ache continues for one more week. I assumed that last night we would’ve been put out our misery.

GWS got arrogant at selection and will probably have a far stronger side on Saturday.

    Carlton didn’t deserve to play finals in 2013 either. Just saying...

    What is happening? It’s like the twilight zone. Can’t see the bulldogs coughing up a spot though even if we roll GWS. And Carlton will reel Sydney in.

    So assuming we win our last two, basically we need one of the three to happen in order to make the eight:

    1) Pies lose both their last two games (GC and Port)

    2) Saints lose both their last two games (WCE and GWS)

    3) Dogs lose one of their last two games (Hawks and Freo)

    I actually think the most likely is the Dogs dropping one of their games. Hawks are due for a win I feel.

    Freo are a good chance to beat Bulldogs in Cairns on a dewy night.Great it's up there and not Metricon where they played the last 6/8,while we're Metricon,Alice Springs,Cairns,Cairns,Gabba,Metricon on mostly 4/5 day breaks!!!

    perhaps more likely is the dogs to lose to Freo in the last round - if we win our 2 last games we'll get in 8th assuming no big jumps in %

    Correct, if we win both of our last two games then any of the above three scenarios sees us make finals.

    The St Kilda scenario requires us to make up 7% on St Kilda. Given we'll be winning twice and they'll be losing twice from here, that is probably not that much of a stretch.

    The other two don't rely on percentage but obviously require upsets.

    The only relevant game to be played before we play GWS is St Kilda v West Coast on Thursday night. If St Kilda win that, we'll know we're down to only two of these options being available. But, in what I think is good news, we'll still have the Dogs and Collingwood games unplayed when it's our turn, so we won't know for sure. Means we can't get ahead of ourselves and hopefully helps us focus.

    Chances of us winning the last two? Not good I would think on past performance.

    If we win our last two, Carlton can only pass us by winning their last two and making up 9% on us.

    I wish I shared your optimism in winning the last two TU. I really do.

    Well that’s just excellent, Carlton win. Last time I looked swans were belting them. They’ll end up higher than us on the ladder. Good on you MFC

    Well done Lewis Taylor you fat moron. Missed dead in front from 30m out after milking a free.

    I'm not optimistic about us winning our last two at all. I'm barely optimistic about us winning even one of them.

    But, if we do win our last two, Carlton won't be passing us. 

    The pessimistic outlook would suggest this: we lose our last two, Carlton beats Adelaide, Fremantle beats North, and we end up 13th.

    Lewis should stick to stealing car seat belt buckles.

    That was Sydney's only score from the 3 minute mark of the third quarter onwards.

    Losing to them last week is an absolute disgrace.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
