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.

    We need scalps before any talk of finals are brought up in any logical conversations.

    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...?

    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.

    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

    didn’t we win the first 10 games in 21 and 22?

    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!

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
