Might head along to Docklands tonight to watch the Saints and GWS.

Unlike last week it should not be too hard to find a seat.

Could be a good game and GWS skills (even if you hate em) should be on show under the roof.

Pity Mc Cartin is not playing.. would like to see him first hand

There are a few games on this weekend that will tell us a bit more about the season:

Port v WCE

WB v Richmond

Syd v Brisbane

Freo v Essendon

Expecting (hoping?) that Port will win big. The media over here is unbearable whenever they win, and I look forward to seeing their season shot down once more after the derby win. Hope the Dockers get up too against the drug cheats

Interesting season developing perhaps.... last year the top seven or so were almost decided by round 8 approximately given the gap between those teams and the rest.

Much harder to get a feel for how the ladder will look around Round 15 let alone 22/23.

Even trying to pick one team who cannot possibly make the 8 at this stage is not an easy task save perhaps for Carlton. For what it is worth I am prepared to identify the following in order of my certainty:

Carlton

Brisbane

Freo

Collingwood

Then you throw in the Swans, Hawthorn and North who despite being out of form and perhaps on the way down could come good.

Saints have 4 Friday night games this year

MFC have one.... time to win some respect this season

If only we did a little better at the end of last season we could have had maybe 4 of our own.

Giants by 70 plus I reckon they will destroy them in the contest

I have high hopes that the Saints will put on a good show against the powerhouse that is the Giants tonight, but it might turn into a blowout.

Saints are 9th and we are 8th. Almost the same % as us.

Its going to see saw like that all season I reckon.. there might be weeks we drop out of the 8 and they jump in.and vice versa.

Hope GWS absolutely murder them.

Don't get me wrong for the sake of the MFC I agree, but I don't wanna watch a boring Friday night game where the Giants have a super easy win, footy is a spectator sport and I wanna be entertained!

I hope you mean that in the sense of "get him" rather than transfer him to or list :-(

Er yes. That little sh!t is not welcome within a large radius of Melbourne!!

Surely that is an illegal "sling tackle" by Stevens.  Concussion.

The umpires absolutely love the saints, when a team is getting a better run with the umps than the giants it's pretty serious stuff

Looks like our win against the Saints may have been a legit coup.

Was just thinking the same thing @Chook

Commented last week - the complete turn around regarding "holding the ball" or "incorrect disposal" is extraordinary over the first seven weeks.  The adjudicating clowns will call play on, play on and play - ignoring some great tackles - and then pluck one. Infuriating!

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
