Who would stand up on Grand Final day

So half our team would stand up on grand final day yet we won 2 games this year!

My list:

Nathan Jones - but not if he's tagged by Crowley

Viney - in a couple of years when he's matured

Frawley

Garland

Putting Hogan on that list is ridiculous. As is Howe for different reasons. And the others haven't consistently played well in regular home and away matches. Not sure what makes you think they would in a grand final

    How about we start a topic like 'How to get off the bottom four' first.

    Half those players wont be there when we do make a grand final..

    The players listed above may stand up for 10 minutes.

    We must take off the Demon Sunnies. Our list is so far off standing up.

    Roos will improve things.

    CHRIS DAWES

    JESSE HOGAN

    MAX GAWN

    So it's not good enough to stand up during the year as well?

    I want to see us play a final first, but out of that list you can't go past Viney and Chunk. But who even knows if this list is relevant when we do make the big one again. I could be a withered old shrewd by the time that one day in September roles around. Dried up, bitter and pessimistic. Like a woman version of Old dee :)

    *Can't stand up against GWS

    *Will stand up on GF Day

    I'd be thinking Jack Grimes and Jack Viney, but it's abit insane to be thinking that far ahead, there is a decent chance a lot of those players will never play in a Grand final.

    I went to the Geelong / Hawthorn prelim this year.

    We are <so far> from that standard

    Port's rapid rise gives some hope, but to use a loaded phrase - we need to get on the reality bus. Our performances have been an embarrassment, and we were hopeless.

    In the fantasy world of Melbourne playing a final, I reckon Mitch Clark might stand up (assuming he's on the ground) - we need more mongrel.

But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
