    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. 

    Agreed. Or West Coast in Perth like 2018. Basically, notwithstanding what the Doggies did in 2016, we need to finish Top 4, and above any non-Melbourne clubs so we always play at the MCG (this would be the year the AFL gave Geelong a home finals game).

    The last time the dees were on top I was a virgin teenager in high school.

    Now I'm in my 30's.

    Still a virgin and at high school though!

    The Essendon drug cheats should be at 0 too, all 6 of those weeks would have been when they were pumped full of performance enhancing drugs.

    Dare I ask when was the last time we were on top for 2 consecutive weeks.

    1988 (first half of season) springs to mind but not sure.

    These stats are a sad reminder of both how [censored] we have been and how old I am. So cheers.

    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. 

    I have been a member since the 70's so not much joy for me either. I was reminded of my children. Their childhood as football supporters was not fun for them. It was good to see the kids enjoying themselves.?

    P.S. Yes I feel old too.

    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.

    Put it like this... 
    If we finish on top and go out the same way as in 1988 or 2000, we could argue this has been our best season since 1964. The only way we could argue that 2000 was better than 1988 was the we finished higher.

    • 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.
