Norf will cop a flogging - no game plan from what I can see. Turnovers galore.

Its round 22 and what a joy this is to see Demonland posters arguing about how much we need to win by to make up % to make the finals , instead of arguing about why we are still such a bad club we aft

Hawks were two games clear on top before they ran into the Red and Blue machine. We may have ended their reign.

Really feel for the kid. I have no idea what went wrong with Toumpas, but ultimately nobody has won out of the situation. I wish he'd been the player we hoped, but it is what it is. All the best for h

How weird is it that we are listening to a game of footy that could determine our finals hopes? 

And it's not round 1 of the season?!

In olden times it used to happen quite often.

It's like hearing an old song you haven't heard for decades ... "oh yes ... I remember how this one goes!"

All pointless if we don't turn up tomorrow. 

Exactly, I hope the boys are just looking at tomorrows game and not getting ahead of themselves. Im sure Roosy has told them.

Norf will be doing no damage whatsoever in the finals. Get out of our spot you turkeys.

I agree pman they look spent at this stage. 

All we need to do is win and hopefully they lose by enough so that our % is high enough to go through. 

Simple really!!

Ultimately, if we don't beat Carlton, we don't deserve to play finals anyway. Whatever the outcome from this weekend (or next), the right team will make the 8.

If North can defeat Sydney or GWS, they probably deserve to cement their spot (despite hating the wankers with a burning passion hotter than the sun).

If Melbourne can't defeat Carlton after their second half to the year, we clearly aren't mature enough to make an impact in finals footy.

Is this game being played on a wet ground?

It dead set looks like its a slow mo replay.

Hope the Tigers beat the Saints.

Saints can mathematically still make the finals, even though its not being taken seriously.  All they need is to win the next two by big margins (vs Tigers, Lions), and North to lose both by big margins (vs Sydney, GWS) and for us to lose one of the next two.

If they [censored] the Tigers today by a huge margin they will be up and about ...shudder.

If the Saints beat the Tigers say 100-60 and the Lions 120-50 that makes their percentage 97.8. If North lose to the Swans 80-100 and to GWS by the same margin, their percentage is 105.5. That tells me that unless all four games are 100-point floggings in the Saints favour, there is no hope of them making up the percentage gap on North.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
