    At our best we can deep, I have wins v Frem and GC, outside of that are 50/50. I really hope we can turn it around from here.

    Brisbane to win more games than us from here? 

    So glad they recently opened a Sporting Globe Bar & Grill 5 minutes up the road. Membership to good use then.

    Am a big fan of Brisbane and what they're doing, Hodge is helping them immensely. 1 I picked was an upset who I think they match up well with.

    13 wins + high percentage will see a team/s scrape into the 8. 14 wins should be a definite place.

    We need to win another 5 games to be any chance. I can't see this happening with our run home. We really screwed up against the Saints on the weekend and they only have themselves to blame.

    How much do they want to play finals? We're about to find out.

    Freo = Win

    Dogs = 50/50 (Win)

    Cats = L

    Adel = 50/50 (L)

    Suns = Win

    Swans = 50/50 (L)

    Eagles = L

    Giants = 50/50 (Win)

    No knock on your opinion Febes, picturing that ladder  if your close with it gives me nightmares.

    Hodge has signed one more year with the Lions i believe?

    What's that 9-12? I'm missing one somewhere but it's academic.

    Please enjoy

     

    It's a game of margins people, a game of margins! And learnings! So many learnings. Tremendous number of learnings. I knew a Learnings once, great guy, tremendous guy. Whole lotta guy. He knew another guy, Bumps, who lived on The Road. Bumps on the Road and Learnings. Going to be a whole lotta tremendous Learnings, Margins and Bumps on the Road.

    Give me strength.

    All good mate, as we know the ladder predictor means nothing, just a bit of fun and a guide, changes weekly. I hope I'm wrong.

    Didn't know Hodge signed on again? Would have loved him at the Dees instead of Lewis. I do think we need to turn over our oldies with guys from successful clubs in the 28-30 bracket.

    On current form and on the past two seasons post Darwin form, predictions of only two more wins looks very sound. Too bad we are not allowed to concede, but resting up to 10 players for Darwin  looks like a viable but insanely gutsy strategy for the big picture if we could get away with it.

    All things going well we will finish 6th and snag a home final. Here’s hoping!

    Picks really do need a protection caveat. Like top 10 protected  (we keep it if it's top 10 and the following year's pick goes to the Crows or until a pick falls outside the top 10).

    I still think if we win 12 games we’ll make it on %

    It's my considered thinking if we were to only have won 12...and somehow had enough % ...then...I personally doubt we'd be in the eight. If were... we'd be turfed quickly. 

    I think it's a min of 13.. including two decent scalps otherwise they'll only best us again.

    14 wins.. we have a shot. Just my thoughts

    Well he ducked when he should have Draked against the Saints, Port & Cats those three losses by a combined 15 points hurt!

    Still we’ve got to step up and win four more, we are doing a lot right, just need a few things to happen:

    - minor improvement going into forward 50

    - back six stay a bit deeper, with a player almost being a goalkeeper in the square (like the Tigers)

    - increase two way particular defensive running, so don’t get carved down the wings with teams on a break

    We do the above and we win four plus of the last seven.

    Go Dees!

    Using ladder predictor the 2 MUST WIN matches that will assure us a place in finals (5th) are beating the Crows in Adelaide and the Swans at the G.  Both matches effectively 8 point games for us (and them) given where the clubs are presently positioned.

    Drop either of those and we are more than likely toast.

    Beating the Cats against the odds next week would mean only having to snatch one of the above however.

    Can’t see us winning both unfortunately. I think we will finish 9th or 10th. The loss to the saints etc are going to prove costly once again.

    I now have 9th, need a good string of form, the Port and STK losses are going to be costly unless we have some upsets on the way home.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
