Every year since daniher has been coaching, 80% of the time in every odd year we have not made the finals

eg: 1997 DNMF , 1999 DNMF , 2001 DNMF , 2003 DNMF , 2005 only just made the finals and now it's some 2007

DNMF (Did not make finals)

Tell me what you think

    Although I was left than impressed with tonights crap I am hoping the odd year syndrome will not affect us this year. It is a fact that in the even years sandwiched between our dismal years, we actually lost the first game in each of those seasons in which we performed well, ie the even years. This included an eight goal spanking at the hands of the hawks.

    Too bad there is no longer a priority pick for one bad year. Draft picks 1 & 2 for Judd would have worked for me.

    Too bad he won't be around long enough to see them.

    we lost our first game last year and still made finals, but that game was pretty bad

    The major worry with this game is our game style tho. If were were to go out there and play on our terms like we have domonated at the G in the past (9-2 history vs Saints) then if we lost i could take it. This tripe ND decided to play upset me so much. I stayed at the game cause i was with a saints mate but im really steaming. On the other hand....balls in ND hands. We demonland members cant make him change it and he wouldnt read this so he will and deserves to deal with the pressure he gets.

    If the dees finish last i would almost bet 2000 bux that judd would walk out and join the dees via the psd. If judd is heading anywhere, it is the MFC.

    Is it worth finishing last for FREE judd????

    I would rather see neita hold up the cup in07, but if things go sour midseason..........

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
