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

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
