- Brittany McPhee and Shannon Coffee scored 13

Theyre not in holiday mode yet but Melbourne coach Paul Roos has declared the Demons 2016 AFL season a success.A first win over Hawthorn, or any defending premier, in a decade and the re-signings of brothers Tom and Oscar McDonald has Roos delighted with progress at the AFL club.Like a painter looking back at a canvas, Roos is reflecting on his three years at the club ahead of his final three weeks at the helm.From two wins in 2013, the Demons have nine this year - their best return since 2006.The McDonalds are the latest in a long line of re-contracted youngsters, with Jack Viney (signed until 2020), Jack Watts (2019), Jeff Garlett (2019), Clayton Oliver (2019), Jayden Hunt (2018) and James Harmes (2018) among those to re-sign this year.So while its not mission accomplished just yet, its close enough for Roos.Its not finished. Lets be really clear on that. But absolutely (its been a successful year) ... theres been enormous strides, he said on Thursday.The coaching group have done a fantastic job. Goody and all his assistants have been outstanding.The players are learning, are getting better.The body of work weve put in has been really significant.To get from two wins to nine and the percentage over 100 with three games to go has been a terrific effort.And whats more, the Demons arent giving up on finals just yet.Should North Melbourne lose to Hawthorn on Saturday afternoon, Melbourne will take the field against Port Adelaide on Saturday night knowing a win will keep alive an improbable finals berth.North would still need to lose every game, and the Demons have to win their last three while making up a chunk of percentage.St Kilda would also need to lose at least one of their matches.And perhaps thats why Roos wasnt keen to make a big deal of sneaking into eighth place.Ive never been one to worry too much about that, he said.Weve got a lot of work to do on our game.Weve won two in a row now ... if things fall your way thats great.Roos said he was not too sure whether there would be any more re-signings before years end, with flag-winning forward Chris Dawes and former Demon captains Jack Trengove and Jack Grimes without a deal to play in 2017.But he was always confident Tom McDonalds future was at Melbourne.It probably dragged out a little bit longer than we thought. Thats not a big deal. Its done now, he said.If you can get a good centre half-back, centre half-forward, its really, really important.Roos said Jesse Hogan would be fit to face Port Adelaide but first-gamer Sam Weideman might not be able to back up with a corked thigh.
