Exactly this. 
11 wins and a top 5 pick? Ok thanks.

    Otherwise known as Pick 5

    Silver linings

    All I want for Xmas is an elite kick and decision maker.

    A lefty would be a sweet bonus.

    In the words of the famed poet/philosopher Ricky Bobby, "if you ain't first, you're last."

    I really couldn't care about the 14th place. The moment we couldn't make finals, I still wanted us to win every match but had more interest hoping results go our way for the highest draft pick possible.

    Bad?

    It’s bloody brilliant.

    2019 everything went wrong. Jackson, Pickett and Rivers were premiership players 2 years later.

    Whilst I’m not expecting that kind of turnaround a pick 6 is lovely. That could be an Oliver level player, could be a Windsor, could be traded for Steve May.

    Biggest downside is we don’t have our second rounder and have to beg the Crows for it back.

    This puts us in the bottom 6 fixture group; coupled with pick 5 it gives us great scope to challenge again in 2025.

    You can count on West Coast and Richmond to stink it up real bad next year. Also can’t see North going much better, unless they land some mature players to help steady the ship. 
    Adelaide are a who knows. Saints are garbage.

    Disappointing to miss the finals but this was a very even year. 
    we only had the two(?) really bad games.  Why. NFI.  Something was wrong.

    And how many by less than 10 or so points.  And we started with two less top 22 players.   So with the football gods with us in 2025.  And some  better team management. Look forward. Go Dee’s

    That's generous.

    Both Fremantle games were abysmal. The West Coast and Dogs games were right up there in the same category.

    Both Collingwood games were really bad. 

    We also beat North by three points. 

    We were no longer difficult to play.

    Unlike others on this site, Billy is doing a good job of not being a hero.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
