I'm reminded of the match against Carlton last year. Clear favourites ... so much to play for .................... So disappointing.

    I guess we will find out if we have matured or not

    but we were young and tired when we lost that game last year !

    No excuses this time.... in fact the Collingwood game is the easiest... we need at least 2 out of the next three

    I want the lions to win but then think its disgraceful they can beat freo on there home ground and yet we cant. 

    Then I look at today and think gc beat the Hawks away. We beat the gc yet couldnt beat the hawks. So frustrating. 

  • Quote

    If we'd beaten Freo and the Hawks we'd be 4th knocking on 3rd. How the hell did we lose them! So frustrating, we played both when they were at their best for the year while we had key players missing. So frustrating.

    27,000 at the Hawks v Suns game today...that Hawthorn Family drops off pretty quickly with a few losses.

    The results are going our way.

    This means we are likely going to choke on Monday.

    Yep there is luck in footy. Would Rioli, Burchall, Hodge, Bruest, Stratton and Frawley out  like today have seen us make up the 2 points we lost by, or Sandilands out have made up the 2 point loss to the Dockers.

    There is always luck in footy.

    We have played most sides at close to their best and at the same time with us missing some of our most important players, Max and Jesse for starters.

    Luck hasn't been on our side in the first half of the season, but the way I see it, it has to come at some point and perhaps it will arrive in the second half of the season...or, potentially even better, in finals!!!

    It's a great point, adding injuries during the cats and tigers game as being unlucky, the footy gods are doing there best to make us fail but we are hanging in

    End of the day we should make the 8, our best can match it with just about every other team. Again mindset will play a massive part.

    Knowing our luck, we'll lose to Collingwood and then beat The Dogs & Eagles, and it would not surprise me. They've picked up their form and are currently playing better than most teams outside the 8. If we both go toe to toe and it's a great match and we lose by a kick, it's not the end and it doesn't define the season. So I Fail to see why there would be no excuses. No excuses for a match without a 4/4 effort and No excuses for a quarter where we leak goals and never catch up. If Collingwood show up and its a great effort from both sides, win or loss, there is still time to beat other teams. Sorry for the optimistic pessimism.

    Well this is unexpected. 

    Although I do enjoy Hinkley getting knocked down a peg now and then.

    So Essendon are up 40-1 vs Port Adelaide. Did not see this coming!

  • Quote

    Gee Port look so slow and Essendon just look so fast. They are just free everywhere. Hopefully Hinkley sorts them out at 1/4 time. We need port to win for 2 reasons. Keeps essendon from passing us and port can knock off the tigs 4th spot.

    We'll be even with Port if they lose and we win and we'll pass Essendon even with a win. We can pick off Richmond's 4th spot on our own instead of conceding it to Port?

    Another 3 quarters like that from the Dons, and we win on Monday and we'll be close to 5th spot...:wacko:

    Good on Cale, been slaughtered in the press recently... was hoping he'd become a Dee... nice that he is hitting some form...shame about the bun.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
