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

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.

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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
