Bye Round 11 - Non MFC Games

Featured Replies

Can't believe we lost to this Kangapoo side - they really are a terrible team that should be forced to fold so a team can be set up in Tassie!

 

FFS. how did the Kangas beat us.

Tigers just booked a finals spot.

Only spot by my calcs to be changed from current top 8 is Freo. Have to hope Eagles beat them in their "Derby".

Seems a bit early to predict? West Coke has a hard run in with really patchy form.

I'm still hoping for a fade away and a 9th finish, so I'm more than happy not to see them in the finals (provided we are the ones in the finals!)

Until we can beat teams we should. Might as well.

That's Goodwin's Job this year!!

the club CEO said at the years opener that we were playing for finals

12 matches to go. 48 points up for grabs

Smashing a plate of chips or whatever is the poor man's passion and leadership. Any idiot can take the easy way out and show pretend passion like that. Doesn't give him any points with me.

So you think Goddard doesn't really care, he just pretends?

Well, all credit to the Tiges. So far they have outperformed a lot of clubs including the Demons, and in so doing made many eat their words. 

They are playing well, with some genuinely good players, some stars and a strong belief in themselves. And, you would have to say, well coached.

They seem to be well balanced with a good mix of players doing their job. 

I wrote them off at the start of the season, but they are going very nicely.

He had a sh!thouse 300th

Brendon cares about Brendon, it's pretty easy to work out

Brendon thinks he is a great leader, but i wouldn't put him in that category.

Would be thrilled to play Richmond in the finals. Most over rated team in the 8.

freo will struggle to make it and west coast aren't  a  shoe in either. 

They play 7 more games at home and considering their form might only win 5.

That puts them at 11 wins, short of the 12/13 required. Dees fate is in their own hands 

Also leaves the door right open for essendon and saints. Essendon will need to win 7 from 11 and saints like Melbourne 7 from 12.

And a non existent injury list.

From memory we didn't have a ruckman. Pretty sure we were missing a key forward also. It would have been nice to see Bernie puke on Higgins, rather than the grass.

GWS are 9-2, a game clear on top of the ladder. They have the following players on the injury list - 

Matt Buntine - season

Steven Coniglio - 8 weeks

Brett Deledio -  TBC

Ryan Griffen - 4 weeks

Nick Haynes - 4 weeks

Jacob Hopper - 2 weeks

Steve Johnson - 1 week

Adam Kennedy - season

Rory Lobb - 1 week

Devon Smith - 5 weeks

Will Setterfield - 3-4 weeks

 

This is frightening. They could win the next 6 flags. 

Edited by Petraccattack

I hope GWS win the flag this year for the simple fact that once they do I think you will see players wanting to come home to vic, makes it much easier to leave for money once you have a flag under your belt

I'd love to run into anyone in the finals, because it would mean we were back into finals after far too long.

Agree. Richmond are just a turd rolled in glitter right now. Our best Vs our is a no contest.

Essendon won't make it. They are as overrated as anyone in the AFL right now. Saints have shown glimpses just like us, and should push for a spot in the 8.

They only beat us because we were down two players including our ruckman.

This is the most even season in living memory, Richmond aren't as good as their position suggestions and Sydney aren't as bad.

The scary part is they have butchered a few drafts along the way too.

Because Coniglio, Lobb and Smith are injured? The rest are past it old guys, run of the mill players and people the average fan will never have heard of.

Well yes, add those three guys to a 9-2 team and it becomes even more dominant. 

Hopper and Setterfield are very talented, if they played for the MFC we would be talking them up as future superstars.

I'd be more impressed if he went out and grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck, scored a goal, created a few more, generally revved up his team mates and dragged them over the line. Or died in the attempt.

The kind of thing that Danger, Kelly, Grey, etc, might have done.

Instead he jumper punched a plate of food. (It's a one percenter that doesn't show up on the stats sheet.) Then probably pointed at the broom cupboard and yelled at his team mates telling them how to hold the mop.

 

Haynes goes under the radar.  He's a big GWS out.

That said, the hype on GWS is overstated.  If anything they're overrated.

There's no standout team in the competition.  Even the notional top 4 are ordinary compared to previous years when there was a clear divide.

Didn’t you say the complete opposite yesterday?

  • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.
