Dark horse for me is GWS.  They really deserved to make and perhaps even win the GF last year- only thing that got in their way was the ‘umpire assisted premiers’ aka ‘the Ferals’ in the preliminary final.

    I reckon he let us down badly and maybe cost us another flag going home...

    I hope they never win one in his time there.

    He can come back if he want's another flag.

    Agreed. I get absolutely no satisfaction or enjoyment watching Luke Jackson in a Freo jumper.

    He’s the type of ruck/forward we wanted Grundy to be, and we now have a painfully obvious void in that position this year.

    If Freo are playing a Carlton on GF day, I’d prefer them to win, but they’re certainly not high on my preferences.

    Based on their games against us i can't see anyone beating Fremantle. They have talen all over the ground and a coach that exploits the oppositions weakness

    Add @rjay to the petition for inviting Dogga back to the club. 😆

    If he can come back in a Trent Croad situation and win us another flag then yes, I definitely want him back.

    probably one of the most even and hardest to pick years i can remember

    on their day any of the current 8 has a chance

    i think 3 are slightly ahead on form and record - swans, lions and wanchors

    a lot will depend on late form, fitness, luck, injuries and home ground advantage

    i wouldn't be putting money on any

    How badly do you wanna say “The Blues”??? 😁

    I chose Carlton for sentimental reasons but I genuinely think they’ll win it.

    As long as Essendon don’t stand a chance… I won’t have to move outta my suburb.

    +1 

    I don't actively follow old friends of the club and will them to be successful but give me Jesse winning with GWS over that anyday.

    Even Harmes and Baker with the Doggies would be more preferable.

    This is likely the correct answer. 

    He who is in the running and has the best next 6 weeks wins.

    I am going to go Carlton because this is what the AFL wants, and just like last year with the Pies, what the AFL wants the AFL gets.

    Brisbane will [censored] the bed again in finals.

    yes I totally agree, the year post flag he totally laid down I thought and was a non contributor, really should have been dropped, no I can't forgive him yet for that, too blatant I'm afraid, but I will say he probably is the one player that we haven't come close to replacing unfortunately

    The Blues can win it. If Carlton were to hit the form we had late last season it is definitely possible. Will we regain that form? ... remains to be seen. Giving the Pies a pasting tomorrow night would be a good way to start! 😁

    Essendon probably won't make the 8 and if they manage to scrape in will be bundled out straight away IMHO.

    Demonland stood up well in this poll

    Over 64% had Sydney or Brisbane winning the flag

    Although, we did have Freo as next best with 12.82%!!

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
