if we beat richmond we'll likely go into $6 and I suspect these will be the best odds you'll get provided there isn't a massive drop in form and we lose like 8 in a row.

Careful, Mr P: After the much touted 1994 fifth win, 'twas LLLWLLLL...

(Will they say it was you or me that put the mozz?...)

Dees are equal fourth along with West Coast. A long way to go but our efforts are being recognised.

Yeah I recall in 1994 we hit the skids in May and June and even lost to Sydney at the G who were terrible at the time.

Collingwood started 5-0 in 2000 and won just two games for the rest of the year.


At some point we will have a bit of a stumble during the season because we aren't some kind of flawless machine, we're 'just' a winning team.

But that stumble can be weathered thanks to this terrific start and will give us the stimulus we need to really address the remaining deficiencies then attacking the late season and finals with renewed vigour.

Please delete this post - Norm Smith's angry spirit can read it ?

I always expect a slump, and we have not beaten anyone yet, but at least we are playing proper grunt footy.

 

Let's just hope that if and when we do lose a couple in a row (or lose to a lower team), our supporters don't start panicking and bring MFCSS tensions back into the crowd.  It's a bloody tough comp and even the Tigers have lost two in a row already this year.  Hard to tell yet if we're a genuine top 4 team (this week will give us a better ideas) but we are certainly playing finals this year and are so much more resilient and mature.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
