    Think 9th is sewn up now, 120pts ahead are the Cats.

     

    Would have been 7th IF we rolled the Saints,.

    But we didnt, on to next week where we get another crack

    And I know Ablett is a legend of the Geelong Football Club, but if he was a Melbourne player doing what he's doing out on the ground with the opposition players now we'd be livid. This is the captain of Gold Coast. They've lost by 120 points, been humiliated and Ablett is still out on the ground, all smiles, having chats with all his mates.

    Catch up with them during the week. Get off the field now. That's embarrassing.

    Wow Port did it easily. I did not see that coming. I mean I just thought Richmond would bounce back with there ins. But good on Port. It will be all Dimma next week. All eyes will be on them next friday night when they play the hawks. Who do Richmond have to come back apart from Rance. Yarran? Yeah he is going to help them. 

    Not sure if its a good thing or not to play a team coming off a 100 plus point win. But im pretty sure we still have confidence in our game than GC. 

    Anyway we are 9th.

    Ablett all laughs and smiles with Geelong players after his team gets belted by 120 points.

    I would be filthy beyond belief if my captain was behaving like that, beyond unacceptable. Go have a bloody coffee with your buddies tomorrow morning if you want a social catch up!

    Sadly the 8 is just about locked.

    This years pretenders the Suns have been exposed. 

    Next year for us.

     

    Pretty clear to me now, there's only 9 contenders for finals this year and we're one of them. Sadly the top 8 is usually locked after round 6, and I fully expect 8th placed West Coast will shut down Collingwood tomorrow by a sizeable margin.

    We desperately need wins in the next 2 weeks to stand a chance, or else it's curtains for 2016.

    Who would've thought after today's effort that we'd actually move up a spot on the ladder?!?

    We will beat GC next week... I'm happy to bet my left nut on it :o

    Exactly.

    Such an irony being 9th.  Had we won we would have displaced Hawthorn in the 8.

    That would have been a beautiful thing.

    We would've been 7th for at least 24 hours, until West Coast [censored] on Collingwood. Sigh. :mad:

    Indeed and my plan for turning my Hawthorn-supporting fiancée into a Melbourne supporter (9 years in the making) may have had some momentum. :P But not to be this week.

    That man is pretty good though.

    But you're right - stop Lynch and you go some way to stopping GC.

    We'd leave him loose all night like Reiwoldt.....

    I hope I'm wrong, I did tip us the last 3 weeks, but looking at who's above us it's going to get tough. Still a few wins left in the season and we're a chance to take a big scalp or two before the years out.

    There is no legitimate reason we can't replicate what Geelong did tonight, but if Lynch ends up matched upon Jetta then our coaches are truly clueless.

    Yeah a bit strange that we gain a spot after losing. But that's a positive. 

    Port kick the first 2 goals of the last quarter. Now up by 33. 

    Small crowd there tonight.  Official attendance at the MCG tonight is 27,07. Wow I know its a saturday night but geez the tigs fans have dropped off.

    Maybe they should have played an interstate team at Etihad SO WE COULD AT LEAST PLAY ST KILDA ONCE AT OUR HOME GROUND THIS YEAR.

     

    I know, I know, build a bridge. Just needed to whinge about it one more time.

    Saw this in an Age article about Cloke in the vfl which also discussed young Tyler Roos;

     "Carlton development coach Josh Fraser has labelled Tyler Roos, the son of Melbourne coach Paul Roos, as an "emerging young player". Roos, a VFL-listed Blue, made his debut for the Blues on Saturday against the Pies as he looks to make his way into the AFL ranks.

    "He's still evolving and developing as a young player," Fraser said. "He showed a willingness last week to be able to work from contest to contest, he finds the ball and uses the ball really well, he's got some outside run and he's only going to get better and better," he said.'

    Good rap for the young man.  Great thay his debut game went well.  He may yet mske it yo an AFL list.

    Its a shame his father couldn't be at his debut as he was coaching us.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
