What if we win on Saturday night?

Featured Replies

If we win, me and the family will have a great day at the footy!

My daughters will see their first ever win at Subi and I'll put this Freo tanking idea out of my head and enjoy the train ride home for the first time since I don't remember when!

Interesting to hear them talking about this tonight on FC.

Thomas suggesting Freo will try and manipulate the result with the Dees to get the home final and Gary agreeing.

Its my hunch that no one will point at a Freo tank if they lose.

You don't [censored] with form leading into finals. Simple as that! Also there is NO chance whatsoever that we will win.

Essendon v Richmond round 22, 2001.

Freo will hope Geelong Lose and then they try to smash us to get the percentage to get above Geelong. Geelong can slip to eighth which could result in Freo hosting North and most likely West Coast Hosting Geelong. Even if Geelong win Freo would give themselves half a chance V Geelong most likely at Etihad.

Freo will smash us

Something to think about.

If Hawthorn beat WC on Friday eve (probable) and if Coll beat Essendon ( V probable) it may pan out better for Freo to lose on Sat eve against us , finish 8th, and play a home final against WC.

After the season from hell that would just about put the final nail in it for me. Between the beatings on the field and the beatings off it, we beat freo in the last game (when they're trying to lose) and give up both the better draft picks and Viney as a 2nd rounder. Would that create a "winning culture" for the future?

Tell me Im being paranoid.

Ross Lyon is a brilliant coach. He's not about to drop a game V Melbourne for any reason. Melbourne would be higher on the tree if G. Lyon had picked up the phone.


I heard a rumour this morning that most of the Freo players are very sick with food poisoning following their meal on their flight back to Perth last weekend.

It is unlikely that at least 12 of them will be well enough to play against us on Saturday.

What if we win? i'll be a happy man and get to sing the song at Subi for the first time in ages!

What if Twisties were made of Lego?

I would literally be [censored] bricks.

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
