    Good news AD,  since you posted after the Round 1 win we have knocked off 2 from the possibles column (GWS, Saints)  and 1 from the unlikely column  (Cats).

    Agreed v. good indeed.

    Since the comp became 18 teams:

    2012 - 14 wins without percentage

    2013- 12 wins without percentage. I’m not factoring in Carlton’s 11 wins default entry

    2014 - 12 without percentage 

    2015 - 13 without percentage 

    2016 - 12 with percentage 

    2017 - 12 with percentage (the year we missed out on percentage)

    2018 - 13 without percentage 

    2019 - 12 without percentage 

    2020 - I don’t consider this a proper season of footy.

    So in conclusion, 12 with a good percentage of 13 to be absolutely safe.

     

    Bolded the interesting part, will be curious to see if 2020 (9 wins) an outlier or a potential new norm. (I know there were hubs/no home games/shorter quarters and other issues), just mean that before the season started you'd have figured the 6th-12th group would be relatively close (more so than previous years IMO) and all taking wins from each other.

    How many wins to get Top 4?

    An assignment for another time.

    I suspect 15 gets it done. We won 14 in 2018 and finished 5th, but would've finished 3rd had we just won one more game because of our excellent percentage.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
