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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
