Too early to start a Road to the Finals post?? 🤣

We need to win 11 from 16… that’s winning 2 from every 3 games…

Sportsbet have us at $3.

Yes.

 

That friend who shows you the final season of Game of Thrones and then suggests binge watching the rest from the start.

Even if they turn out to be right, it isn't a rational decision to trust their taste.

Can’t see us not making finals and then taking the flag from 6th

Elimination final V Carlton W by 56

Semi Final V Hawks W by 34

Preliminary V Collingwood W by 29

GF V Geelong W by 7 after being 56 points down late in the second.

Only having kids would top that 4 weeks. That’s rolled gold!

Got a mid-season target for option B, wouldn't mind a nice follow-up in September. I'll let you know how it compares.


Let’s play 4 Quarters of Good Solid Football first.

Right now we are a V12 engine running on 7 Cylinders

Much tuning and balancing to be done

Happy with what you've seen though over the last fortnight, SWYL? At least in snippets...?

He was right but for Maynard on Brayshaw.

Happy with the wins, of course

But our final Quarters have been bog ordinary, for some reason

Good sides will take us apart if it doesn’t improve

Is such a dichotomy:

We want a team that puts itself in a position to compete in finals every year;

Vs

Let's take it one week at a time.

Personally I think we have way underachieved the season to date and have more upside than alot of the teams above us. The V12 firing on 7 cylinders is a reasonable analogy. Trac and Clarry are better than current form. The past few weeks we have seen what happens when Kossie, Max and Vines start to fire.

We will need things to go right injury wise from here and a few young players like JVR etc to stand up and take the next step, but if that happens, I think we are better than alot of the teams currently above us.

Who knows.

Edited by Rodney (Balls) Grinter

We have played one very good game, and two good games.

It’s not a case of ‘one week at a time’ it is more ‘ask me how we look in one weeks time’…


I dont ever see much about Ben Crowe on here. He is the best mindset coach in the business and that's what we need.

Goody, Clarry and Trac will only benefit from him.

We won the first 10 games straight in 2023 but that's not how you win a premiership look at Sydney last year.

Peak at the right time with the right mindset and do damage

My understanding is Crowe came in for the review and he's no longer around. Happy to he corrected on that point...

And @Wells 11 , we won the first 9 in 2021 (we lost to Adelaide by a point in Round 10 from memory), but won the first 10 in 2022.

  1. Beat the Eagles.

  2. Clarry & Petracca play a 3 quarter game on way back to playing four quarters! Versus half a game!

  3. JVR play competitive footy and kick some goals!

  4. Play with aggression!

  5. Then worry about the next week!

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
