Finishing top is overrated.  Last side to win the flag finishing first after the H&A was Hawthorn in 2013.  The next two were from 2nd and 3rd, the Bulldogs in 2016 were 7th after H&A; the only year the Tigers were first was 2018 when they dropped the prelim. The great Brisbane side never finished on top either.  I'll happily take 2nd, 3rd or 4th after round 23.

So long as we are on the “right side” of MCG finals it doesn’t matter. If finishing 4th means we end up playing Port in Adelaide, then I rather finish 1st.

I'd take Top 4 and not have to play an interstate final

Not this week.

Dogs to beat Richmond handily. What would we need to beat NM by to pick up 25% points.

I just had to put this here. 

Sometimes it awesome to be wrong, right?

So now we are orgasmically sitting on top of the ladder lets hope we don't suffer fron postcoital dysphoria and plummet down the ladder.

Yup.

We have beaten Sydney once since 2011 and twice since 2006.   The only team left that still owns our souls, and beat us yet again last season when we were in the finals hunt.

One of those was an absolute belting at the MCG when roos was their coach and admitted he had no answers that day

We are top of the ladder and that is all....top and unbeaten.

Even 6 months ago this position was unthinkable, the stuff only the true believers would ever dare to dream. Well its happened and here we are, and we are the envy of the league. I think some of you just need to sit back chill and enjoy it while its here. We have gone a long way to reestablish ourselves as a powerhouse of the league once again along with the chance to build a huge membership base. Appreciate the club, the coach and the players who have worked their guts out to get us here.

Go Dees.

Seven rounds in

Undefeated and atop the ladder

Sure.. it's not the endgame but hell it's nice

Just enjoy....

It's a pity that supporters cannot experience the Northey days when everyone was welcome in the change rooms.

Heady days and so much fun

PS... cannot remember ladies being allowed but cannot think why not.

Think of the children. At the Hawthorn game I saw the joy in their faces when their team was winning and kicking goals. I feel so happy for them as well. We need this success for new generations of supporters.

I would expect we will have a fade at some point this year so ultimately I'm just stoked that whatever has come at us so far this season we have risen above it. A lot of footy to be played but being top of the table at this point is a great feeling.

Mate think about all us mid 30s supporters who have not seen us do anything but suck for basically our entire life.

I am genuinely in foreign territory here.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom
