Freo is looking less daunting after their past few games......

    I'm just glad we are not talking draft picks! the last few years it has been the only topic of conversation this time of year.

    The only game that isn't winnable imo is Freo.

    In NT, the Eagles game could go either way but WC deserve to be outright favourites.

    We have a super easy draw to close out the year.

    We could go anywhere between 9-1 and 1-9.

    We're 2 games out of the finals and still a legitimate chance to make the top 8 with this draw. If we can win 8 of the next 10, we'll make the 8.

    Tough, I know, but possible. Imagine if we'd beaten the Saints and Pies? We'd be equal 8th (but out on %) with a very good chance of slipping in.

    If you look at the last 3 ladders you'll find that 12 wins probably won't get it done, not with our percentage

    We'd need to win 9 out of 10 which will not happen

    Even 8 is crazy

    Agree C&B.

    Bulldogs and Nth are on 6 wins and have an easier run home than we do, not to mention a healthier %age.

    Easier in the sense that they play only 2 top 8 teams.

    We are on 4 wins and play 4 of top 8 teams.

    I know that isn't the only criteria but we need to catch up 2 games + %age vs those teams ie win 3 more games than them.

    Also, Port and Geelong are lurking.

    We won't make the 8 in 2015!

    But 2016 is a whole different story!!

    So last week you'd given up and now we're a legitimate chance to make finals? :P

    The first few pages of the Game Day thread feels like another dimension to the one we are currently 'logged on' to.

    There are lessons both ways about how things can change in a hurry but my main point would be calm down.

    Calm down about how bad we were going after those 41 secs, and calm down about making finals after being 4 and 8...

    Mid season review: http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2015-06-25/midseason-reviews-haw-to-wb-inc-melb is a fair summary.

    Some key points:

    Story of the Season: Angus Brayshaw - shapes as a mid-field star! Say no more!

    Poor old Jesse Hogan

    Misses one game after kicking 5, and everyone is over him.

    Brayshaw is amazing and I love him endlessly, but Hogan is the revelation of the decade for a young KPF!

    pound for pound they are about equal IMO, but the fact that a KPF is about 5 times rarer than a gun midfielder gives the Hulk the value

    as good as Angus is, Jesse is in a whole different league, he is someone we can build our team around, Angus i think will be a genuine A grader but a key power forward with Jesse's potential doesn't come along all that often

    comes around about 5 times less often, as I said :D

    If our bottom players do their role like they did against the Cats for the rest of the season,we will continue to win games.When they play well our top players are free to play their natural game instead of having to carry the rest of the team.

    I think in these situations our better players actually lift.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
