Do I book that holiday in September?

0 - 4. I thought before today that when we lost to the Shockers the season was over. But looking at the fact Essendon and Hawthorn are 3 -1, Freo is only 1 - 3 and we went with them for a while, I am now caught in 2 minds as to whether the season is officially over in terms of any possibility of finals.

On the one hand, we would have to make history.

On the other hand, there is a lot of upside, and it's a better time to slump than rounds 19 - 22.

Anyone think we are still a chance, or is it a case of 2008?

    I don't think we'll make finals with our draw.

    We have to win 12 of our next 18 to finish 8th I would think. Maybe 11 wins would get us in but we'll have a poor % unless we smash a few teams which I doubt will happen.

    Well it depends where you are planning on going? At this rate I would suggest Perth - at least you could partake in some Premiership celebrations....and they do celebrate don't they!

    We can still make the finals. A little bit of luck, get Miller to take the concrete out of his glove, get Brock back quick, keep Sylvia and Dunn in the side, and learn to kick long and not stuff 'round with it - we could be there.

    If we didn't have the injury list from hell, I would say it is just the calm before the storm....

    But with the cattle we have on the sidelines, it would be a brave man to ponder finals in 2007!!

    I can see us making a belated run for a finals berth in the latter part of the season but to come back from a winless first 8 rounds it would be a bloody miracle!!

    Enjoy the snow! :)

    Book away. We won't get our first win until at least round 6. If we lose that we may end up wooden spooners.

    So the ski slopes of Canada far far away? Or Buller, just to hedge my bets? LOL

    I think we may well make a late run. And fall at the last hurdle, Carlton.

    I think we have a 5 to 20% chance of making the finals. Especially with the run home, and even if we win those games, our poor start to season will come back to bite us, as well as our percentage which currenly is on 60 :o

    So i think booking holiday is a good move, but you never know. Maybe wait until after the QB game and see

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
