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.

    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!

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
