Undefeated and on top of the ladder, but there's very little excitement on demonland.  Have we all been so deeply scarred that we're expecting this bubble to burst in a spectacular way?

    For me it is just knowing there is a looooooooong way to go.

    The Tigers are still the team to beat and by a fair way in my mind and they showed why last weekend.

    We just have to keep performing consistently to hopefully get a top 4 and then give ourselves a crack at the flag.

    It’s not like it hasn’t happened in the past. Most Deez fans (IMO) won’t allow themselves to even think about daring to dream coz that leaves us open to bitter disappointment should the “bubble burst.”

    Have you never heard of MFCSS? Only known cure is a flag.

    A long way to go however if you asked me at the start if we would be 7 Zip I would have committed you to the looney bin. Take the 7/Zip and hopefully move on. Just hope when we do lose a game that we bounce back the next week. With this start I am looking for a top 2 finish and home finals.

    Beaten by the dogs in the first two quarters. The dogs drank from the bath and Richmond played a good 3rd quarter. One, maybe two quarters is not really drum beating.

    Maybe when they are at full strength, their mojo may come back. At the moment they are middle of the road and have to fight hard for wins.The Dogs got found out. Mental weakness, which we aren't showing this year.

    We are playing for the 120 minutes (North aberration), unlike other years, when we relied on a couple of good spurts. 

    Hope that they are perceived as the team to emulate and beat. We can fly under the radar. Though they would all love us to drop a game and then falter. I can't see us doing a mid-season collapse 

    We are looking good. Doing well, converting the inside 50's to scores and with the stats that are important this season.

    We are hard to beat.

    Keep rolling along Dees.

    Just taking a deep breath here. We had a scare against a lowly team, we now have a couple of important injuries, and there’s a long way to go yet. There’s bound to be a few bumps and blips on the road to come.

    I’m really enjoying footy at the moment, but I’ll be burnt out by the end of the year if I stay excited the whole time.

    Main thing is to accumulate the 15/16 wins necessary to get top 4. It's a long year and we're not even a third of the way through.

    7 and 0 is better than any other alternative. Not excited yet but cautiously optimistic. Sat through enough hidings to at least walk around with a smile right now

    I think the Tomlinson and Viney injury coupled with the first half against North put the lid back on in my eyes.

    Yeah, disaster is never far off. Next few weeks will see some retooling which may not leave us with the best product. Head down, bum up, and we'll see how we go.......

    If you cannot enjoy football when you are 7 zip   when the hell can you.  Accept that's what we have and enjoy it   Long may it last.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
